MAY THE 4TH BE WITH YOU 🖖🌠

So there we were, running to the bus station with just minutes to spare... I don't know how, but every good email has to start with running... I'm running out of other ideas... but anyways, back to the running... We had gotten all of our things ready and bags packed for the mission leader conference, but right when we needed Uber the most, nobody in all of Castanhal was accepting... why? Mutiny... So then Elder Babcock, panicked, stands up and says we've got to GO! How? I asked. The trail to the bus station was 30 minutes, and the bus was gonna leave in 15! But with the combined power of determination, swimmer's lungs & broken-in Allen Edmonds, we managed to make it there in 15 minutes... We got to the ticket booth, sweaty and out of breath, and to make things worse the ticket guy said that the bus we needed had just left! My hope was already out the window, but Elder Babcock, with that crazed maniac look in his eyes I know so well, went "let's catch it on the way out" so we ran out of the bus station and saw the bus we needed pulling out. Hope. We started to whistle and wave it down, and the driver was kind enough to stop and let us into the bus. With that adventure behind us, we made our way to Elder Babcock's first mission leader's conference... Good afternoon everyone, hope everyone's doing just peachy! This week was full of surprises, and miracles too. Starting off, the CLM was incredible!
Shoutout Elder Doman for the amazing training! Love you bro, knocked it out of the park. #dreamteam4eva
Shoutout Elder Emett and Elder Otazo for the trainings too! So much was said at the CLM that I've been needing to hear. We talked a lot about loving the missionaries in our zone above all else, and accompanying our friends better during the week. Put these inspired changes in practice, and the mission is sure to improve!

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...
