Jardim do Sol- Week 15

This past week, I had a chance to do one more division for this transfer with Elder N. Elder N is from São Paulo and he is a really great Elder. He is 23 years old so he has that extra wisdom and experience that us young-ins don´t have yet. I enjoyed a lot getting to work with him this week. 

We had a pretty normal and work-fullness week. The highlight of the week was that we received a reference for a less active member in our area and that same day we decided to go check it out. We meet at super nice lady that right away let us in and started talking and talking and talking. We sat there a while just listening to the life story of this lady, but it was super cool. She has a son who is 11 years old who is not baptized. Our new goal is to start working with him to get baptized this coming month. We are excited!!

We had a super big blessing today, which President Cuveilier allowed the mission to watch the Brazil vs. Mexico World Cup game. Sadly, the US did not make it in to the World Cup this year so naturally I routed for BRAZIL! We took advantage to watch the game with a less active member and can I just say that I have never been so involved in watching a sporting event then this game. It was fun to get to try this other side of me and.......BRAZIL WON BABY!!!! Without a doubt the best part about the game.

Thank you so much for all the love and support. Also, Happy Fourth of July for everyone. We are going to try to do something special this week to celebrate and no they don´t celebrate the Fourth of July in Brazil. 

Com amor,

Elder Pinkney
