FEB 2: MYSTERY IN MACAPÁ

Bom dia family! How are we? 


This week was legitimate. Honestly not a whole ton happened but at the same time - there ain't never a week where there ain't a lot going down. We're on a fat grind to find interested souls and we're seeing miracles as we make sacrifices. Biggest tip of the week: working with members is the hack. Thanks for that one Dad 🏆☝️

We started up another Zone game this week, called "Mystery in Macapa." It's basically got the same rules as Mafia, just projected onto a mission playfield. Each day, we send out challenges to the Zone that's got something to do with the work, and at the end of the day everyone sends us a message, telling us how much of xyz they did. 
Then, the person we designated as assasin can choose someone who they want to try and assasinate in the Zone. And if they ended up getting more points than the other area, the next morning when everyone wakes up there's a story of tragedy written in the Zone group chat about how that area was assasined. Here's the chart we used during the week for the game! 

We also made a funny video about how Elder Moraes was assasinated to kick off the game. It's like 3 min long so I cant send it here, but if you want to watch it just send me a message and you'll get the special access 🎥🍿

We're headed down to Fazendinha as I write this. Gonna have us a pday down by the bay with some sand volley and ice cream! 🏐🍨 Should be a good time. Ill hit you all with a mighty spiritual message next week, but I love you all! Thanks fo' reading!

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...
