A lot of stuff has happened these past couple of weeks. My papa (my dad's dad) has been in the ICU for a week now because he contracted covid and pneumonia and it's been attacking his lungs bad. He spent all last week on a ventalator but because of miracles and prayer he is off but still on an oxygen machine this is supllying him with sufficient levels of oxygen. He is still in the ICU but is still fighting this tough battle! This weekend was crazy because we had a huge ice storm that froze everything with a thick layer of ice everywhere! Even all the blades of grass were frozen! Due to the storm we lost power for a whole day and it was so cold inside. We spent most of the day inside of our car because that was our source of heat and power haha. Members were tell...

My companion got really sick this past week because he ate a mango from a guy off the street. So we were stuck in the house for a couple days because my comp was throwing up, had bad bowel problems, and he had a fever. So he was sleeping a lot and it gave me a lot of free time. So I took this time to study the language, read preach my gospel and the book of mormon, and read a lot of other books and watch movies in portuguese. It was really really fun... nah it was kind of boring to be stuck in the house, but it was good to have more time to study the words of God. This week we had lunch with a member and it was his birthday so he had a huge bbq. We had a lot of meat and rice and beans and a bunch of juice. It was so good and I got the chance to cook some of the meat haha. That was the high...

I'm sorry I haven't written an email for soo long but I will try my best to fill everyone in. I left West Salem about 2 weeks ago now and have moved to Lebanon. My area is snow peak and it is a big area but the ward isn't as big. I am no longer a zone leader but I am a district leader and also a trainer. I am training a new missionary from Idaho who will be serving in Brazil. His name is Elder Reyes and he is awesome! He gets nervous a lot which is normal but it has been a blast so far. When I got to this area there wasn't really much here. Not many people were being taught and the missionaries didn't leave the best reputation. Luckily we have changed all that in the 2 weeks we have been here. We are teaching more people now and even invited someone to be baptized last week. S...
