In June, the Brazil Curitiba Mission baptized and confirmed 345 people, surpassing its 4 month old goal of 340 people. They earned another Super P-Day. In August, our missionaries baptized and confirmed an unprecedented 364 people! Once again, the mission goal of 450 was smashed, and the Elders and Sisters were rewarded with another SUPER P-DAY. It included several kinds of sports, snacks all day long, a super lunch, movies, free time to visit all day, and time to grab some well-deserved shut-eye. Also, graphic designer Sister Monteiro designed a celebratory T-shirt for everyone. We ordered ours, which we will hopefully receive before we leave in October. "If they fit," we'll add a photo of us in our T-shirts on this post. We took few pictures of this Super P-Day, but watching the "kids" enjoy themselves never gets old. We left about an hour earlier than most so we could keep our 7:00 p.m. home visit appointment with Kika and her family.
No, we don't usually teach the missionary lessons; nor has Elder Thomas baptized or confirmed anyone during our mission. But we're in the "APOIO," or SUPPORT role--that's our calling as Member and Leadership Support" missionaries. As well has helping the ward, we help the Elders any way we can, so that they can be successful in their calling: finding, teaching, baptizing and confirming people who have felt the Spirit, believed the Elders' message, and asked to be baptized. (See comment added at the end of our July 30 post of the previous Super P-Day.)
