Mission Office- Week 32

Freezing Rain, Wind, and Dominos

Hello world!!!

This past week, I felt like I was back in Virginia with the cold temperatures and cold wind. Almost every day this week was cold, rainy, and windy, but those are signals of the coming winter weather here in Curitiba. This past week was pretty normal in terms of routine. We did, however, have a Family Home Evening with a family in our ward. We had invited a less member to come too but he ended up not being able to come since he had just had a fight with his wife. He ended up separating with her on that very night and that became the reason why he could not come to the Family Home Evening. We felt really sad, but made the best of the night. We are planning to get back in contact with him, and we will try a second take on our Family Home Evening. Also, the Family Home Evening provided me the opportunity to try pepperoni and cream cheese pizza from Dominos. (It is as good as it sounds). 

On Wednesday, I went on split with my zone leader Elder Searcy. It went really well. We had a day full of visits and I go to know Elder Searcy a lot better. He is from Utah and was going to BYU Provo before his mission. We chatted a little bit about that. Over all, it was a really great division and we had a good time. I learned a lot from him in the way that he teaches and talks to people. 

Elder Herd and I decided to go on a little adventure today. We went to WAL-MART. Our area is the only area in the whole mission that has a Walmart so we took some extra time to walk over and see what they have different. Sadly, it is basically just any other Brazil market, but it just feels and looks like a Walmart. 

All in all, I had a great week. I am learning a lot and I enjoy being a representative in Christ. I know that this is His work and that we are working to bring His children an eternal happiness. Love and miss you all lots.

Com amor,

Elder Pinkney
