A new companion, and new adventures

This week has been really good. This first couple days with your new companion is always a little awkward but were already used to each other and he’s really cool. His name is Elder Valente and he’s super awesome. He will hit his year mark in a few weeks but he’s super excited and ready to work hard. We have had the chance to teach the cousins of Frank and helping them prepare to be baptized. They are super special along with Frank. Frank is the kid I baptized about a month ago and he super strong, he teaches with us and is going to seminary its awesome. He also passed the sacrament for the first time on Sunday and that was really really cool to see. Now he’s helping his cousins know the church and its really awesome. Our Branch President here has a great vision to help this Branch grow and I’m ready to back him up and do everything that I can. I went on an exchange and was looking through his photos before he was on the mission and turns out that Elder Hwang was in his ward in Fortaleza, its funny how small the world is at times. These next 6 weeks will be great and I’m really excited to work hard. Love Elder Visser
