Serial Killer (Don't look at me...he has weird titles for his emails sometimes)

Who are the people in this picture? 

They are other missionaries in the district. This photo was taken by the members in the picture. They gave us all lunch. :P

Where in the world are you now?

Vista Alegre Ward, Cachoeirinha, RS

Who is your new companion and where is he from?  Give us the low down on him.

Read ahead for the "low down."

What! Already!? The world is going to be weird when I return home.

Another good title would be Dejavu, as something I've already done, I'm doing again. Two years ago, I "killed" (terminated the mission of) Elder Bueno in Ivoti. Now, I've been transferred to the city of Cachoerinha to "kill" the one and only Elder Boeno. As he put it, I'm "an official expert on killing Buenos." :P 

According to Mother's request, I will give a quick "down-low" of my companion. Elder Boeno is from Curitiba - PR, Brasil. He's a really cool guy and is fully animated to work hard, even when his mission is coming to a close. That's what we call endure to the end!

The new area seems like one of those "higher stakes, higher rewards" situations. The problems and situations are in high concentrations, but the people we are finding and the help we are receiving from all of the members is tremendous. To start, the young men here are all very active and excited to help out in the missionary work. For example, just this week, we filled almost all our time visiting people with three of the young men in the ward. Beyond that, many of them are actively inviting their friends to go to church and participate in activities. Probably for this reason, most of the baptisms for the last few months were young men and women. 

The regular missionary work is also moving forward. This week we found various people prepared of God to receive his message. One which was really special was a young woman and her mother. We first made contact knocking on doors, when the young woman came to meet us at the door. Seeing as her parents weren't home we marked to return later. About two days later, we met with her and her mother, and they were very receptive. They had already visited many churches, but had never decided to become firm in one of them. As the mother said, they like to "take the truths they find in each church, and forget what remains." As we began teaching, they paid really good attention to our message, and had really good questions. Many times the phone rang, people knocked on the door, etc., but these disruptions didn't take away their attention. At the end, the daughter offered a kneeling prayer so powerful that everyone felt the spirit really strongly. When we opened our eyes, we looked at her and we knew that one of her prayers had just been answered. 

As we get further into this new chapter in the Adventures of Ambassador Angus, there will be many great and new stories, but for now, thanks for all the help and support. You guys are the best!

Elder Angus
