Hello Family
Well this week has flownby maybe because
I am beggining to understand people and the fact that I got letters from you
guys ect (Diana it takes 8 days apparently for letters to go through) super
suprising actually. Anyway this week was super cool, when I first got here Pres.
Fluckiger challenged us to do 10 contacts every day and I had been slacking on
that so this week after District meeting we decided to have a compitition in our
district to see who could get the most contact in a day. so the next day we
started to contact like crazy and that is hard to do not really knowing any
thing so off we went. Well that day I contacted 16 people and among thoes was
Alvero. Alvero is a gentelman who belives in Christ and is searching for the
Truth and the best bible that he has found is the J W so Elder Fry talked to him
and we left him a Book of Mormon, it was all super good we just need to work on
being sure to get addresses and phone numbers next time but he has our number so
please keep him in your prayers that he will call back. So back to the
competition we ended up contacting 31 people taht day and we were in last
place!!!! Matozios got 45 and Foz got 50!!! then we realized how great it was to
actually do work and get numbers back. we have got almost 10 contact every day
since and it has showed in our numbers. we found like 8 people when we usually
find 1 or 2 we taught 17 lessons and normally get 10 and this week normally we
have 3 people in sacrament meeting but we had 6!!!!!!!! we were super blest. it
is awesome!!!! in total our district had 525 contact just this week with 89
lessons with everyone. and 12 people in church!!!!!!!!!!!! we have blown our
zone goals out of the water and its all from contacting 10 people or more every
day wow this talk to everyone thing really works I think the Lord know what he
is talking about in PMG. ;)
we also have had some other things
happen, one last story before I have to go, we were headed out to teach a family
on the bus so as we were getting off we stood up and a lady behind us said
something I didnt catch but elder Fry did so when we got off the bus he said wow
we do speak a little portuguese. then he said that woman behind us said why do
they always send the ugly ones. so aparently now I am ugly ha ha super funny
well family this is another one of Bens Brief Blubs ha ha I will try to do
better and next time I should have some good stories because I am going on a
division with Elder Wertz. Elder Wertz has been out one transfer longer than me
so we get to work some ``Rookie Magic`` it will be great. well family love you
all tons I am out of time again but just remember your little happy ugly elder
in Portugal, love Elder Bishop :)
