Hello my family!!! (Week 21)

Hope everything's going awesome!!

We had a crazy last two weeks. So keep your arms and feet tucked in and hold on!

So last week we had an Emergency Transfer!

We got a call from President early one morning. He said, Elder Aristimunho, pack your bags, you're going to altos (different area).

So I've been telling President about how good Elder Aristimuho is and that he's ready for whatever you give him. So I finished the training of Elder Aristimunho early, and now he's training and baptizing! So proud of him! So now I have a son and a grandson!

My new companion is Elder Benites! He's from way down south in Brazil. Santa Catarina. He's hilarious, a good teacher and a lot of fun to work with.

We also had Mission Tour and Christmas Conference!

Mission Tour we had President and Sister Bassett visit us. He's the 1st counselor in the area presidency of Brazil. They have been following me around in the mission. I first met them on the plane flight from Atlanta to São Paulo, they then came to the CTM to give a talk, and now they came to my mission! They took a picture with me and will send to Grandma Hillam I think. It was a fantastic training they gave.

Oh, President Lago was conducting the meeting and called on me to play the piano. So that was fun.

Also sang one by one with 2 sisters and another Elder! It went super well.

We then ate a ton of food!

Christmas Conference was the day after!

There was a ton of food! and activities. Each zone performed a play. All of them were super creative! We then ate more food!

Starting a diet now! All of my Cidade Leste friends (my last area) are telling me that I'm gaining a little weight. Uhh ohh hahaha

Was also able to see my trainer, Elder Moody! Woohoo. He had some super exciting news!

So his Grandpa served as a companion to Grandpa Hillam!! His Grandpa was also a Mission President in Portugal in the 90s. Super cool! I bet our grandpas were working behind the veil to make that one happen!

The work is going great! I'm teaching so many people, but whos learning so much is my self. I'm amazed with how much I've learned and changed through the atonement of Jesus Christ!

Thank you all for your emails! They are the best!

Leo!! The super cool neighbor in Cidade Leste. I had to return to interview some people before they could be baptized. We needed a ride back because our home was super far. So I called up my buddy Leo to see if he could give us a ride. Oh and Elder Moody was with us too!
