HEY JUDE

Hey all how we DOIN'

This week was super good! Unfortunately I aint got much time to talk today cause I'm spending half the p day traveling to Belém for a multizone, so lemme dish you guys a list of stuff that happened that made this week the week it was

-one night Elder Klinger and I pulled up at home and we were literally so gosh dang tired we just started laughing at the stupidest jokes of all time  convinced they weren't even funny we were just delirious as freak

-we were sitting on the curb after a lesson and outta nowhere this dude walked up to us, got super close and showcased his wonderfulll dental hygiene and promptly walked away (3 second interaction)  

-Friday this week literally everything fell through but it's aight cause we won the world record for most reds marked in PME 

-we saw 2 dudes in front of a store wearing Paw Patrol mascot costumes and went up to talk to them and take flicks and they ended up asking about the church 

-walked by a band playing Brazilian Reggae 

-there's been a ward activity going on all week where peeps are playing card games and sports, and yall know we can't be doing that here in the M double B so me and Elder Klinger were on our spectator grind 

-Elder Baas is a dawg and traded me a thick tie he's an all-lifer 

-we had a service project planned for early in the morning this week but when we got to the dudes house he was not answering his phone, so we just started working & guessing what he'd want us to do 

-Elder Klinger and I've got like the same sense of humor which also means we laugh at stuff that by any logical thinking shouldn't be funny  this last week we've just been saying the lyrics of "hey jude" like we're giving a motivational speech to someone and it's so funny for no reason 

Besides those very important events this week was good! There were def some moments of feelin down like any other week but me and Mr. K worked through em together. I gotta be a proud father for a second too cause gallll Elder Klinger's such a dawg. Dudes been making me so proud lately straight up, striving a ton to be better each day, learning from mistakes, staying attentive and taking initiative, dudes literally ready to be senior como already. At the district meeting this week everyone was sayin how Elder Klinger's gonna train here soon with all the new missionaries coming in, and I could not help but agree. He's been and is being a fantastic companion and son, and I hope he's learned at least half from me of all that I've learned from him. We had a family night activity this week and beforehand him & I were cooking on what we'd give for the lesson. I was straight up planning on reading a book of mormon chapter together (thrilling, active activity I know) and then doing a game after. While we were starting the lesson Elder Klinger started taking the lead and found a way to make the game a PART of the lesson. Everyone ended up loving it a ton and I was super proud of him for feeling like he had a good idea & going for it. Also I've been letting him plan our day a couple times a week and this last week we hit the ol Padrão de Exelência with Elder Klinger behind the wheel leading the day (commemorative flick below). Dudes a super powerful missionary and will do super great stuff here in the mish. 

Every day I become more and more certain in the fact that God knows each one of us. He knows me, each of the people around me and each one of you. He loves his children and wants to be close to them, and the atonement of Jesus Christ is how we can live with him again and have an everlasting joy. Studying about the Atonement is great, I'd recomend it to any missionary cause there's so much to learn and it increases love and respect for Jesus Christ so much. 

Talk to yall next week thanks so much for readin!
