The Mighty Thor has arrived!


Hey Everyone!

So the transfer is officially over. Time is going by so fast!! A few trends changed though as Elder H has been transferred to Mindelo. He is the first companion that hasn’t stayed with me for two transfers. Also, my new companion is Elder C and he is from Salt Lake City. So that ends my streak of foreign companions as well. He’s really awesome though and I’ll be training him to be a zone leader. His middle name is also Thor so that’s pretty intense. We’re going to have an awesome transfer and we have a lot of prepared people right now.

I am really excited to stay here in São Filipe because all of a sudden we have been finding amazingly prepared people everywhere!! The family that we found last week is progressing super fast and they love church. The members are so excited and they are now going to be baptized a week early. They want the branch president to baptize them but he will be going to the temple in Brazil the week of their original date with his family so they decided that they want to be baptized a week early. They are amazing!! We’ve got a bunch of people who have been coming to church and who are getting ready to be baptized this transfer so we are going to be very busy. 

Things are really progressing in our area and it is starting to explode again. The members are helping out tons and Heavenly Father is really blessing us for our work. I hope everyone is doing well at home and that the snow doesn’t drive you all insane! It is super nice here right now and we are just enjoying the nice island weather. Have a good week!
