This transfer, to my disappointment, I was called as a Zone Leader. My new companion is Elder Tavares, he's from the south of Brazil and only has 11 months on the mission, but he's really cool. We've had some really good talks about some things, and I can tell that we are going to get along. We have some of the same opinions about missionary work and about the Lord's way of leadership. So I'm kind of getting used to being a zone leader and using the chance that the Lord gave me to improve a little more before I go home. I also think that it will help me work hard until the end.
So a few things, what kind of haircut is that Zack? I can't tell if its like Mexican, or like UFC fighter . . . Anyway, Mom, I also think that the pizza sandwich is the most effective way to eat a pizza. At least Little Caesars. Way to go Drew. Like a boss. Good job on having spiritual experiences. Now you just need to work up the personal desire to go on a mission. The Elders that are here because they want to are one step ahead of the ones that go because someone else wants them to.
Anyway, we've had a good week of work. It's actually been really spiritual. And the ward here is huge. Pretty cool.
We have been teaching a girl named Natalia, who is 15 and has been going to church for a while. She hasn't been baptized yet because her dad doesn't agree with it . . . yet. =) she told us that she had never actually received an answer about the church or the Book of Mormon. We taught a really good lesson about faith and the Spirit was really strong. I asked her if she felt a difference between before we showed up, and now. And she tried to describe how she was feeling. And I helped her see that the feelings of peace and warmth that she was feeling was the Spirit. We challenged her to pray and ask if we are representatives of the Lord and if the Book of Mormon was true. We came back the other day to follow up with her. When we asked her, she was really excited because she said she got an answer! She was happy because with the other elders she never recognized getting an answer.
We have taught some really spiritual lessons this week, and we are finding some really good people to teach. I like it here. I think it's a great area for the end. Oh and I'm in Cariacica. In a ward called Itacibá. It's a really big area, but I like it.
But yeah. I guess that's all for now. I'm doing my best, and I'm feeling the Spirit doing the Lord's work.
Have fun in the summer. It's cold(ish) at night here. Love you all.
