This week was pretty awesome! It started off with district meeting and it was Elder Neighbor's last one so we had a funeral for him. I had never "killed" my companion before and it was pretty fun but I would not want to do it again. I was just blessed to always have new missionaries I guess.
I am proud to say that Neighbor and I worked until his last minute! The best thing about dying is that all the members want to feed you so we had a lot of member meals. One member made us 2 giant steaks each and it was one of the best member meals I have ever had. We even had an investigator feed us some sardines which were good. It was just awesome being treated like kings!
We are still trying to teach João but like I said before, it is really hard to find him on a good day. We keep passing and he was supposed to come to the dinner with the investigator but he felt sick. It is just difficult to help someone who "feels" like he can't be helped but we spend a lot of time testifying that God can help everyone.
In other crazy news, this Sunday, while putting in some info and tithes into the computer with the branch president, one of my friends walked in the door. My friend Collin Toyn from Salt Lake City came to visit me. He is here visiting some members and converts from when he served here but he "died" over 2 years ago so I guess you could say he came back to haunt me. It was awesome to talk with him and even though we served at separate times, we could still talk about the same people and areas! S/O to Collin for still reading these emails, when I thought everyone stopped after my first transfer. Flush twice buddy.
Today I am just here in Caldas with the other elders waiting for transfers. We are going to get transfers tomorrow so I am going to sleep here and chill in the tripanionship. Mission rumor has it that President Amorim is putting Ty Bianucci here with me in Peniche to "die" together and I really hope that it is true!
Well that is it, love you guys! Have a great week!
Love,
Elder Ruggles
