Oi gente how's it going? Well this week was pretty awesome. I'll start with a fun little experience we had at the beginning of the week. So we decided to do some finding in a different part of town the other night that's basically on the border of Caldas. When we got out there Christophe said oh man this is the second most dangerous place in Caldas and I thought, great I've already been to the first most dangerous place so we'll see how this goes. We started knocking but no one wanted to talk to us because Portugal's soccer team was playing an important game. So we went down a smaller street. We knocked on a gate of a house and their dog started going crazy, then a lady opened the window and was like "what do you want"?! Elder Silva tried to talk to her but she couldn't hear because of the dog. So then she turned around and said to someone behind her "hey go get the pistol". I was like GUH! I turned and started booking it. Eventually we got to Christophes car and Elder Silva was joking with me saying that I was a baby for running and that she was joking. So we started driving and when we got to where the road we came from connected with the road we were driving on there was a tall man dressed in all black with a big hat on just standing in the middle of the road and in one hand was holding what looked like a gun and in the other was holding a thick chain that was about two feet long, with his back to us but when we drove by him he turned and looked at us. I almost wet my pants that image freaked me out. Elder Silva was like "ahhh! Now I believe you Elder"! It was crazy, I don't know if it was because it was a dangerous area or if we were messing with Portugal people and their soccer. So we confirmed Ana and Elias yesterday, Elias also received the priesthood. They also received callings so they’re doing well. We also marked another investigator yesterday. So the other day Elias informed us that a little bag of his, (containing all of his important information, credit card, passport, drivers license, etc.) had been stolen from his car. He was pretty stressed but we visited him on Saturday night and we said a prayer asking God to help him get these important things back, (to be honest I didn't think that he would ever see them again. Where was my faith right?) So Sunday morning he got to church and was like Elders, last night after you guys left someone called me and told me that they found my bag. I met up with him and he gave it to me and it wasn't missing anything! It was a pretty sick miracle and in a certain way a test of faith, Ether 12:27. But as we read in D&C 58:2-4 we are blessed after our trials. Well things are going good here, I don't know if I'll stay one more transfer we'll see. Transfers are the first week of December. Well you all are in my prayers. I love you.
