All mixed up!

Oi familia tudo bem!
    Well it has been quite the week.  Transfers have come and gone and things have changed once again.  Elder Nelson and I are just getting things calmed back down after the big shuffle.  This week has just flown by since we got the news on Sunday that Elder Martinez was getting sent back into Toronto.  Monday was just flying around saying good bye to everyone as well as just trying to do all those things that he had been saying we would do for weeks that we never did.  One of which was going and baking cookies with a lovely older sister in the stake.  She meant really well, however, the cookies really didn't turn out.  Hopefully, we will make them better next time. 
   Tuesday was pretty cool we went and met one of Elder Nelson's dad's friends from college.  He had some cool stories and he also knows all the Portuguese members in his ward and is willing to help us meet with them all and see how we can work together to get the member work growing in this part of the area.  It was definitly the highlight of that day.  Tuesday we had to do the paper work for Elder Nelson's Visa extension which was four of the longest most boring hours of my entire existance.  I would not recomend trying to apply for a visa in Canada, four years of Trump will pass faster than those four hours.  
   Other than that it has been a great week we have had a lot of sucess in getting members out to lessons and contacting some new investigators.  We have been working a lot on setting goals and making plans for our week.  I am personally super excited this was the direction that my studies had been taking me for the past few weeks was in the ability we have to make our dreams realities through the process of mastering goal setting and accountability.  Needless to say I am super excited about this new direction we are taking.

Well that is all folks
Loves,
