Dinosaur Hunting

Hunting Dinosaurs 
Today we went dinosaur hunting for p-day (see attached pictures). We found out that Jurassic Park is in our Zone so we went there with another companionship for P-day which was pretty fun. We managed to find a couple but the foam and metal used to construct them weren't too tasty so it was a good thing we brought ham and cheese sandwiches for lunch.




Travels (again)
We lost a few days of work again this week because of exchanges and a leadership counsel in Sorocaba (another city) that we had to travel to that we didn't know was going to happen until two days before. There were some great things we learned though at that meeting. President played a video from Elders Holland and Eyering about missionary work and the atonement that was super inspiring. It helped us think about how when we're exhausted or think we can't do more, we should think of Christ and how he persevered when it was hard and when He was tired.

There is an awesome Sister in our ward that lives in the neighborhood where we're working. We always teach a certain recent convert in her house that she introduced to the gospel. We stopped by her house to get some water one day and asked her, "Which of your friends or family members will be the next person that we will baptize?" And she stopped and thought just as one boy was running through her house and asked "Hey Renato, were you baptized at the same time with your mom?" and he said "No" and she said "Well sit down then the missionaries are going to help you be baptized" and he stopped and listened to our lesson and we marked his baptism. As soon as he left another non-member came in and we taught him in her house as well. It is cool to see a member that doesn't have any fear to help the people around her meet the missionaries and learn about the Gospel. 

I'm having a great time and learning a ton,

Tchau,
Elder DP
