Dear Family,
I had a very full week. Missionary work is awesome because
you don´t even have time to think about anything else. So we´re always happy!
We´ve been in meetings and trainings all week.
So, the mission received in email from the Area Presidency
inviting us to do a ´Pilot Project` of retention. 50% of all our Proselyting
time is now retention. We´ll be working with a very specific group of Recent
Converts and Recent Converts that have already gone less-active. It´s a very
detailed program. We´re going to be working with the ward very closely. They
say that if it goes well they´ll apply it in all of Brasil. But we´re just
going to be doing it until the third week of June. We´ve been busy relaying all
the information for the bishops, ward leaders and members.
It was also announced that Elder Andersen, from the 12, will
be visiting our mission on May 21. It will be a meeting together with São
Paulo, South. Everyone is really excited about that. Pres. Pinho said that
Elder Nelson will be here too, but he´s not going to visit our mission.
I also got transfered. Elder Schleiger and I will be going
to a new area in our same zone. It´ll be good. We´re sad to leave our awesome
house, but excited about the new transfer.
We had a training from the Area Presidency last night about
`Minha Familia` (My Family booklet). It was a broadcast in all of Brasil about
Family History. We will be using it a lot more in our work now as well.
Everyone is getting very excited about it. You had mentioned that you´re doing
it back home as well, so keep it up! And if you have any cool stories or
pictures of our ancestors, I´d love to see them!
Love, Elder Barker
