You are all awesome! Renee and Joe- keep rockin the member
missionary stuff. Oh also, I got the package about 2 weeks ago, sorry I forgot to tell you. It’s
awesome! Thanks so much!
Brazil won the confederations cup of soccer! So yesterday was
insane! Brazil stopped. Like literally everyone was watching the game, and when
Brazil scored (3 times) everyone yelled and screamed in the street! Then they launched
fire works all day, so I am getting my own 4th of July celebration/
brazilan style.
I heard about the Supreme Court ruling on Gay
Marriage. That’s crazy. I think the laws are similar down here in Brazil.
Brazilians love Americans for the most part. Well definitely American culture.
Wvery girl here wants to be an American. I’ve been proposed to by two women. Both
were about 30-40 years old. Mother’s will introduce their daughters to me and
say “Oh my daughter loves America and she wants to go there”..like im going to
take here home with me or something NOPE sorry. It’s such a different culture
down here! But I am really respectful, because everyone asks what it’s like in
the USA compared to here and I always say its really different but that I love
it here in Brasil. Everyday it’s a party here, brazilian culture is super relaxed
and chill/ living in the moment.
For P-day, we’re just chillin, going to get my
volleyball and ping-pong on! We baptized again! I know you guys are probably
getting sick of hearing about all these baptisms hahaha we baptized a João
Vitor (13 year old boy) and his uncle Luis and Luciana a woman/ mom of a member
and she finally separated from her horrible husband/ that didn’t want anything
to do with the church and he was really harmful to their family. But anyway our
mission reached our goal of 200 baptisms in one month!!! We had 215. I think
Elder Quinteros and I baptized more than any other companionship this month,
not trying to brag, but the president is really happy with us haha its always
nice to be on the good side of the President. Our zone is super awesome,
and Tuesday/ zone meeting President Lanius is coming and bringing
breakfast! So stoked!!!!!
This week has been really hard but the lord is
blessing us like crazy. Miracles are occurring that i never thought possible! It’s
amazing what the lord will do when we ask and put in a little work!
love,
E. Kennedy
