Week 27: O Sapo Disse

Image
Hello family and friends, This week we killed one of the elders in our district. We had a funeral service and everything. (He isn't actually dead yet; he goes home at the end of his mission tomorrow.) Also, a bit more than a month ago, I bought a notebook of drawing paper to make the Nativity scene I mentioned. I have some pictures of what I had back then: This week on a division I traded places with one of the zone leaders for a day, so I got to spend the day with these other missionaries: and came back to find this in my notebook: This was drawn by the companion of the elder in front in the picture above, who stayed in my are while I was in his. The Japanese on the side of this picture is a quote from モルモン書, which is The Book of Mormon in Japanese. He actually just opened the book and copied out a line, which would generally result in getting half a word on each side, but by chance this is actually not only a complete sentence, but one that is reasonably appropriate.

Week 30: Meu Aniversário

Hello family and friends, Some people look forward to their birthdays for months. They make plans for meals and desserts, invite all their friends, and write out all the things they want. Others just want to get on with life. On Thursday last week, my companion asked when my birthday was. He was surprised to learn that it was Sunday (yesterday). By the time Sunday came around, he had nearly forgotten, but remembered in time to inform the other missionaries in our zone. We also had dinner with a member family (which was scheduled previously), and they were informed after we arrived that it was my birthday. They did not have a cake for us, but did have brownies and ice cream. Also, when we got home yesterday, we checked the mail and there was a package for me. It contained socks. Doutrina e Convênios 78:19 E aquele que receber todas as coisas com gratidão será glorificado; e as coisas desta Terra ser-lhe-ão acrescentadas, mesmo centuplicad...

Week 4:

Hello family and friends, This is Elder Hiatt, currently training to serve a mission in São Paulo Brazil. I will be sending these emails once a week for the next two years. If you don´t want to receive these, know someone else who wants to get them, or have anything else you want to tell me, you can contact me at john.hiatt@missionary.org . If you missed any of my previous emails, they are all posted at https://johnhiattmission.blogspot.com . Thank you! A few interesting things happened this week. In no particular order, here they are: * One of the other companionships in my hallway has been talking with one of the people around the CTM on preparation days (Wednesday). They left last week, but before they left they asked me to continue talking with him. As many of you know, I have difficulty talking to people, but I did manage to get his name, which the other elders hadn´t managed in three weeks of talking to him. We´ll see him again tomorrow, and see if we can get him to read any of t...
