OLÁ BOM DIA MINHA FAMÍLIA. SIM, MUITAS VEZES PESSOAS DAQUI PERGUNTAM "QUE SIGNIFICA HOOKE" E EU RESPONDO, ENTÃO TENHO O APELIDO DE ELDER GANCHO COM ALGUMAS PESSOAS. (Something like: "Hello & good day, my family. Yes, many times people from here ask "What does 'Hooke'" mean?" and I respond, "Well, I have the name of Elder Gancho with some people." (Hook = Gancho in Portuguese)
THIS WEEK WAS TOUGH. THERE WERE SOME COOL EXPERIENCES MIXED IN THOUGH, SO I GUESS IT WENT WELL. WE ONLY HAVE ONE NEW INVESTIGATOR FROM LAST WEEK. A COOL LADY (LIKE 35 YR OLD) NAMED CLAUDIA. SHE PREACHES TO US JUST AS MUCH AS WE TEACH HER THOUGH, BUT HONESTLY I LIKE IT. SHE IS A VERY STRONG MEMBER IN A LITTLE PROTESTANT CHURCH HERE. BUT YEAH SHE COMES TO OUR ENGLISH CLASS NOW AND SHE WOULD HAVE GONE TO CONFERENCE WITH US BUT SHE HAD SOME DILEMMA WITH HER DAUGHTERS. NO ONE WENT TO CONFERENCE. IT WAS MY FIRST WEEK IN BRASIL HAVING NO ONE AT CHURCH. THE ENTIRE MISSION IS VERY SLOW RIGHT NOW. THE NUMBER OF BAPTISMS IS WAY DOWN AND EVERY AREA IN OUR ZONE IS STRUGGLING. I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHY IT IS LIKE THAT FOR THE MISSION.
THE ENGLISH CLASS IS DOING JUST FINE AND IT'S KIND OF NICE TO GO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT, AND SOMETHING THAT ALL THE STUDENTS REALLY APPRECIATE. WE OFFERED LITTLE BOOKS ABOUT THE RESTORATION, PLAN OF SALVATION, AND GOSPEL OF CHRIST AT THE CLASS AND ALMOST EVERYONE CAME UP AFTER AND ASKED IF THEY COULD TAKE ONE OR MORE THAN ONE. THERE WERE PROBABLY ABOUT 25 STUDENTS ON TUESDAY.
JAILSON'S DOING WELL, WE NEED TO FIND MORE PEOPLE LIKE HIM. ELDER HALVORSEN IS STILL WORKING HARD. ITS GOING WELL.
YEAH I LISTENED TO EVERY SESSION [OF GENERAL CONFERENCE] EXCEPT FOR THE PRIESTHOOD ONE. I WAS PRETTY TIRED DURING SOME OF THEM... BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO SEND THEM--WE WILL RECEIVE THE MAGAZINE NEXT MONTH WITH EVERYTHING.
I JUST THIS WEEK GOT THE BIG ENVELOPE FROM EM... THANKS, WE LIKED THE STARBURSTS. ELDER HALVORSEN SAID "YOU SHOULD SEND MORE NEXT TIME SO THAT ELDER HOOKE CAN HAVE SOME TOO"... HAHA
WELLP, TCHAU
ELDER HOOKE
