Birthday

Yo yo yo yo YO everybody tuning in for anotha' episode of the hillstead times. I aint gotta lotta time today cause I talked to family and friends for a tonna time so lemme just run yall through the week real fast so that yall ain't in the dark ⛹️‍♂️⛹️‍♂️


I turned 19 yesterday! It was so fun having a birthday here on the mish, for sure a day I'll never forget. A special thank you to all my family and friends who made videos and sent me stuff, you all made my birthday so special. I'm gonna thank yall directly trust me I just don't have time today, but sincerely it meant so much to me. It was also cool cause we got to meet our branch and all the people there are so awesome. Our branch president is this 30-year old youngster who is super willing to work out, and the other boys of the branch seem like dawgs so it'll be fun getting to work with them more. 

Also it was the first week here in Marabá! Golllly this area is huge, I couldn't believe my eyes when Elder Scott showed me the map. It's like 3 whole cities connected by bridges we're in charge of. We gotta take so much transit here we recieve a whole separate allowance just to not become broke instantly with how much we have to call ubers. But it's been a fun week! It's been a marathon trying to get to know the teaching group asap but we've been making it fun. Elder Mortensen is such a dawg, we've already been working good together and laughing a ton. I'm hyped a got another beast comp to help through the transfer, it's gonna be really different than the others for sure! 

I'll just leave a scripture I love a bunch here for you all. Thank you for reading I'll talk to yall more next week! 

John 13:35
By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

WHAT A WEEK       Holy cow you guys, I feel like I just got done running a marathon and here I'm finally catching my breath. This week was straight up nutso, so much stuff went down but it all ended well. You guys remember that whole "miracle marriage" thing that went down at the beginning of month? So this week was the follow up appointment, legal signing of the marriage document, and the agended baptism of both Pedro and Amanda. We knew this week was gonna have a tonna stuff, so we started Tuesday running, and didn't stop til yesterday night. Let's toss the introduction into the fire already and get to the REAL story.       Alright alright so first part of the week is that we decided to meet with Pedro and Amanda EVERY day this week, to chat about how they were feeling, and generally accompany the two of them. Wednesday night we pull up, start chatting, and out of nowhere Amanda drops a dreaded combination of words. She explained to us that she wanted to ...

But guys this last week was a real whooper, tons o' stuff happened and I've got pictures in case anyone wants proof. But enough of the appetizer let's get to the main freakin dish already        We had a Mission Tour this last week! This gentlemen named Elder Eddy (member of the 70) rolled up to the mission to talk with all of us and it was great. He spoke about the importance of us staying focused on our purpose, and doing the right stuff for the right reason, and my oh my was it a message for the ages. One of those messages you hear and you're ready to hit the streets and work hard as tar. So yeah super cool to meet him and his wife, they bought ice cream for the whole Macapá Zone and I'm totally not salty about it it's whatever   but ya that was for sure a highlight of the ...

Yo yo yo peeps how goes it. This week was a good one! Majority was just a-workin and a-learnin, so lemme think. I'll start off the email with all the outline other stuff that this week contained and then get into the actual content. Outlining Information ️     - Saw a beetle the other day that was rather large   maybe it was John      - Tried Belém's Sushi and was mad questionable   tasted fire but my stomach hated me after      - How are the clouds here always so beautiful every single day   they're always crying though      - The fam's traveling in Australia people, pray for them        Really tried to use as many emojis as I could for maximum entertainment there. But now that that's out of the way, this week was a bunch of just the good ol grind, and the works coming along really well! We have a ton of super faithful folks progressing, the ward is strengthening and getting more an...
