Another two weeks have passed
Sorry I kinda forgot about the email last week. It was a busy p-day. We cleaned the house, got haircuts, went to luch with the Staff boys. Yeah it was a pretty busy, but laid back p-day. In reality, that week was just a week that passed by without anything too crazy. However this week has been fun and full of great memories!
Tuesday
We had the new missionary meeting and afterwards we got on a Van and got shipped to Ponta Grossa. We stayed with Elder Fisher and Elder Eyring like always. It was really fun.
Wednesday
I went with Elder Pavez and Elder Souza. We did a service project for a member who is a native American. He gave me a hand-carved flute 
It was really cool because he was explaining about their culture and what they use the flutes for. He said mine is for meditation and connecting with Heavenly Father. The rest of the day we visited some people and I got the opportunity to see many people who I've missed. I was so happy to see Bispo Thales and his family as well as the Nakaharas and the Udagawas and of course Irmão Denilson. I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to see all of them again for the last time.

Okay, today was a crazy day! We went over to Campus with Elder Ribero and Elder Eldredge. I went with Elder Ribero, and boy did we have a very spiritual day. We were following the Spirit the entire time and miracles were happening. During the late afternoon, we were walking and came across this family that the missionaries talked to 2 years ago, but never passed by again. They let us in and we talked for a bit. They ended up coming to church on Sunday! (To give context for this next part...everyday I am equipped with my hat, my bag, and my guarda-sol/Beach umbrella. I normally wear them all and have the large umbrella on my back kinda like a sword. I do this because i dont like to carry it in my hand.) Anyway, as we were leaving we were on this spiritual high and full of energy. We were on a two-laned road with a large medium in the middle separating the other two-laned road. We heard barking from dogs coming from that far side. As we looked we saw a Father with his 6 year old daughter holding a small bike with two large pit bulls barking and attacking them. At the moment that we looked over we saw this white pit bull bite the little girl in her leg. I blinked and the next thing I knew I was running across the medium pulling the umbrella from my back and I jumped and I placed myself in between the girl and the pit bull and smacked him on the head. Elder Ribeiro also came and placed himself on the other side against the other pit bull. The girl was crying and screaming and the father was in shock. The white pit bull continued to bark and tried for the little girl again and I smacked it right in the jaw. We told the Father and daughter to start walking up the road. He put the girl in front and pushed her along as the black pit bull remained in the back barking at Elder Ribeiro with the bike. The white pit bull ran behind some cars off on the left and I couldn't see it. I transitioned to the front left of the girl when the white pit bull lunged for her. I smacked his head with the umbrella and kicked him in the ribs to get him away from the girl. The father than grabbed her and put her on his back. The white pit bull continued to attack and bite, but I was able to fend that off with the umbrella. One of the neighbors came out and threw a brick at the white pit bull which caused him to run back and not continue up. Once we were safe and out of range we spoke with them. The girl was lucky because the bite didn't pierce her skin, but she had a full bite mark and bruises. The father was upset and crying and ended up calling the Miitary Police. We left them and continued with our day.
We met up with Elder Borjas and Elder Snow. Elder Borjas and I had a very fun day where we visited a lot of people. It was really fun with him.
Saturday and Sunday
We were in my old area Dalcol for the last time. I passed by many people who I had worked with and helped a year and a half ago. It was awesome to be there on Sunday because I got to spend time with and see all the members who helped me become the missionary I am today. It was just a great and fun time. I love the people there and I will never forget all that they have done for me.
Olha quem Elder Ferreira! Foi ótimo estar juntos com eles!

Today
We are currently in a cabin in the woods with the family of Bispo Renato! They invited us so we are up here relaxing right now. We will be headed back to Curitiba in the afternoon.
Spiritual Thought: Fear not, Doubt not, only trust in the Lord with a perfect brightness of hope. The Lord is real and know us and blesses us according to our faith. His plan for us is much greater than we can possible imagine. Know that he will always be with you and protect you if you simply live his Gospel.
