Tyler Bremner Campinas Brazil Mission

  Mon, Jul 22 This week not much happened because I got super sick, I was freezing to death at night, and day, sneezing coughin, weakness, body aches,  During my sickness I finished the book of mormon though At the end of the week we helped out a member with his daughter baptism and he gave me some anti flu  medicine that seemed to work We went to the temple which was fun, but for some dumb reason we weren't able to get a ride for our recent convert which was the whole reason we went, but I saw some members from my first area as well as others which was really fun, 

  Mon, Jul 8   This week was pretty swagger  Monday was cool, we had a devotional as a mission that was pretty good at the end president Harker asked for all the people who would go home in August to stay that's my group, and he told us that he really needs us to push the carts before we go home, it was pretty cool  That night we went to revise the baptismal interview questions with Abel and it was pretty cool, he started asking some interesting questions he asked when is the earliest someone could have a baptism date and stuff, and I asked if I he knew of someone who wants to be baptized and he said his girlfriend in a different mission wants to, so we got her info and sent her info to the Elders there, I'd never thought to ask Him for a reference because he was brand new to the city, rookie mistake I guess  The next day Tuesday we had his baptism interview and we walked to his house in the morning and walked with him to the church and elder huber did his bapti...

  Mon, Jul 1 I had forgotten to say that last week during week 93 we had a mission tour with Elder koch of the seventy, and It was incredible, he really opened up my vision of how I see my missionary purpose  This week was pretty awesome ngl it was also a baptism week so that means it was crazy It already started out crazy on Monday  We went to teach Maria Eduarda who was on date for that Saturday, and we always teach her in front of her house on the sidewalk because we can't enter her house, and before we had exactly started teaching her a man came over a man who was a less active member, I knew that because a week before we knocked his door and he told us "I'm catholic and busy" and closed the door and he asked us if we were Mormons then instantly invited us to go over to his house and drink some water, but the spirit was not good and was telling me that I should not go into his house I told him we were kind of busy talking with maria eduarda but we'd be happy t...

  Mon, Jun 24 Continuing last week where we left off At the end of Tuesday I had watched the new boon of Mormon video about amon and the people of limhi being freed and its definitely the best video, me and elder Ourique that day like the people of limhi covenanted to never use weapons of war again, me and Elder Ourique also covenanted to be better in certain things and try to have the same zeal that people of limhi have for their god, It was quite a special experience, and the solution that lead to the beginning of the end of certain long time zone problems,  Honestly those last two weeks as zone leader have been the craziest and most stressful weeks, I've not had weeks that were so mentally and spiritually exhausting, there was so much that required thinking in the zone, and so much mental and spiritual effort required for my own problems, and it's was through all of this craziness that I was able to learn to be better at working with all my mind and heart, because the work ...

  Mon, Jun 10 Its been a crazy week for sure  Monday we started the week with fire, decided that we were going to hit our goals this week, and we did indeed start out with fire, truly one in companionship with the spirit, we didn't exactly get the results we were looking for, but we had a really great lesson with André teaching Reinaldo, so that was pretty cool,  We had our zone leadership counsel that night which was also gratifying, we came up with plans to really help the zone catch fire and start flying, I really came to enjoy working with the leaders of my zone, Tuesday  This transfer I had been focusing on changing my nature, working with much more than just my might and strength but also my mind and heart, our might and strength isn't that difficult for me in the mission it's as simple as just deciding to work and not be a lazy bum, but mind and heart I've been studying a lot, our mind is our thoughts, it's our focus, am I focused on the work? Or as I work am...
