Week 81: The Mayor of Toy Town is Dead

Hey so I've got zero time but here are some photos. Not the most interesting week anyways but a good one nonetheless. I love you all and thanks for your support!!

Brisith word of the week: broke the back of it - got through the worst of it 

Comp comic: We helped a polish lady with her garden last night in our church clothes and she gave us a cheesecake. She also could not believe that we wouldn't accept money from her. It was so touching to see how we could help a lady feel God's love for her individually. 

Scripture of the Week: acts 3:19-21

Saying Goodbye

Image
Saying goodbye is terribly difficult. I have cried many times already and I imagine I shall cry many times more before I make it to England. In my church, you talk about serving a mission your whole life but you don't really truly talk about it. It occupies space in your mental plans for the future, but that space is filled with uncertainty. No one talks about how difficult it is to leave. And it is difficult. But, I would not be doing it if I did not believe what I do. I love my family. I love my friends. I am so grateful for your support leading up to this moment. I ask you now to continue supporting me. There are two ways you can do this. First, shoot me an email every now and then. I love keeping up with your lives and hearing what's going on. Second, watch out for my family. They are strong people but we have been through a lot, and knowing that I am not leaving them high and dry but instead encircled in the arms of trusted friends gives me great comfort. I love my Savio...

Week 75: Të Keqen

Image
Sup all you evil people. That's what you'll think I'm calling you if you literally translate this from Albanian. The actual translation is basically "I take the evil from you". Basically imagine an old lady (nona) seeing a little lid trying to tie his shoes. She would say "o Të keqen". So yeah it's my new favourite phrase.  This week has been a bit crazy but it's been crazy good as well. Monday was a bit difficult. I was in denial that I was leaving the Isle of Wight. It was a really great day though. We went around visiting all of the people I had come to love. And packing. Way too much packing. But yeah. It was rough. I maybe cried like 3 times. But no more than 3 times.  Then the fateful day came and Elder Brown and I had to part ways. Tears. But, that kid is tearing it up down in the Isle of Wight and he is so ready for anything. Love that kid.  So here's a bit about my new companion: Name - Elder Allkja  POB - Albania...

Week 97: 3rd time's the charm

so it's official: I will finish my mission in the City Ward, speaking Portuguese and working in the office.  I'm elated. I'm ecstatic. I'm excited.  Just wow.  It's been a wild time this last week. I missed my trio life #oxford and this week has been quite the throwback. Good thing we perfected that whole "three people teaching one person" thing. It was a blast. We taught loads of lessons, met 3 times as many Brazilian people, and made memories to last a lifetime. Elder Grimaldi is off to the coast and will be serving in Southend. Keep an eye on him friends, he's gonna be a legend. Elder Coelho and I are staying together as well. We are also moving even closer to the mission office. I'm excited. Comp Comic: Elder Coelho and Elder Grimaldi fell asleep on the tube :-) Scripture of the Week: Hymn 266 Food of the Week: Pizza - brazilian pizza may or may not include sweet corn, egg, olives, and heart of palm. Interestin...
