Hello Family and Friends,
There is not much to report from this past week. We worked
really hard and then a torrential rain storm came in Saturday night until
Sunday night so none of our investigators showed up to church. Yep, this is
kind of our life right now, work like dogs and get nothing in return at the end
of the week. I think our area has a curse over it from the past missionaries
that passed through, who knows. I know we need to keep working hard no matter
what happens, but this monkey on my back is getting pretty heavy.
So this morning we got the word that Elder Machado and I we
will be companions for the third transfer. A third transfer is very rare in our
mission. Obviously, there is something we still need to do together... BAPTIZE.
I'm fine with the decision even though we are little tired of each other. It
was funny last night we fought each other just for fun, Mauy Thai versus
American Muscle, but at one point he almost lost control of the fight so I had
to just fall on him with my 95kilos and it ended ha ha. I was hoping that in
this transfer some young gun would come here and get me back up firing on all
pistons but God has other plans.
I think we will go on the blitz these first three weeks of
transfer to find an elect because frankly the people we have right now can't
seem to progress. I can't say that these first two transfer were a waste
because we managed to reactivate 3 teenagers that have the age to serve missions
so that is pretty cool. Also, Adriana we will be baptized by someone, and the
members here absolutely love us. Now we just need some references. I have a
talk on Sunday so I will kick some butt.
So what happened with the rest of the household??? Elder
Beary was transferred to Porto Alegre and Elder Carlos will stay. I have not
heard anything good about this new missionary coming to live us, nothing at
all. So this is going to be another challenge. He is a crazy Brazilian that is
about it. We will have to put him in his place if this is possible.
I don't know what else to write about. It is a little cooler
which is nice, I'm not a fan of the heat.
Pray for Machado and I. Oh, fun fact for you all, Machado
means axe in English so basically I'm serving with Elder Axe. And what is
ironic is that he likes to chop wood ha ha.
Love, Elder Miller
Oh yeah Elder Machado wants to taste american candy so if
you could get a package set up that would be cool.
