RUN FOR YOUR LIFE 🏃‍♂️💦

Greetings folk another week has passed. I aint gotta tonna time today cause we gonna play some SPORTS for p day today. Been basically ever since I left the mtc I haven't played basketball, we'll see if I remember how to dribble🧍‍♂️🏀 anyways though lemme tell a little about how the week was


We got here on Tuesday and we immediately just started booking. I was like bro we should try and find someone ready for baptism this week and Elder Velasquez was like bet, so we just RAN to and from all the grey dots in the system who have already been to church. By Saturday night bro I was so beat, I felt like I was literally sleepwalking coming home. We weren't able to find anyone for baptism this week, but some of the folk we found came to church so that was super awesome 

Thursday morning the AP called us and he was like "yo ima need you guys for babysitting" and summoned us to são bras on the pronto. A group of like 24 new missionaries had just gotten here on the mission, and he wanted Elder Velasquez and I to take 4 missionaries and do a divison. So the whole day I got to run it with 2 FRESH missionaries both from Utah 🔥🔥 it was so fun with them, we tried speaking as much protuguese as we could and went teaching together, but overall it was just hype getting to show them the first taste of the field. They're gonna be awesome missionaries, and one of em ended up in my zone! Shoutout to Elder Lambert, absolute dawg

I've been reading the book of mormon (within the book of mormon) this last week, and it's crazy just how much it was written for our benefit today. Moroni straight up says in chapter 8 that he saw our days, he knows what we need and the Lord guided the prophets to write the book for our daily benefit. 

The prophet Russell M Nelson made the promise to us that if we read the book of mormon every day, we'll make better decisions every day. I invite everyone reading to get into a habit of reading that book on the daily, it's impossible to read the book of mormon with the intent to learn, and not grow closer to Jesus Christ. 

Love yall and keep safe, talk to you in the next one

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 ...

Whaaaats up everybody how's it going?? Happy to see all your smiling faces here again, same time same place reading another piece of Hillstead mail... I hope you're smiling anyway. 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...
