Hola familia,
Ok i know i promised pictures but this computer doesnt work very well. so sorry. next week.

So this week went pretty well. to start off ... last monday i weighed myself and it turns out i have lost 11 pounds. not good! so i have been eating like crazy, well in the process of eating like crazy i ate something bad. ha and now im sick. but i am getting better. anyway we found out that we have to move out of our house. idk why. so we called President and he said we need to find a house. so we have been looking. pray that we will find one cuz if not soon we will have to close the area which equals Not good! im sure we will find one. im going to miss our house. so today is the 3 month mark of the mission. i am 1/8 of the way done. haha. i was thinking of devins song... ´´ i wont see you this summer or the next´´ haha. anyway yesterday we had stake conference in Natal, so we rounded up the investigators and members and got on a bus. the meeting was good. our president was there and he gave a talk, along with his wife. he is so funny. after the meeting we had our baptisms. it was nice to do them in a real font. haha. all in all this week was good. we have alot of investigators this week so we are going to teach like crazy this week. but we have zone conference on wednesday so its going to be a challenge. im stoked for zone conference. everyone had to write a 10 min talk on the blessings of obedience and President is going to call on 1 missionary to talk. so that should be exciting.

one other thing i would like to say:
anyone who is reading this i would like you to read the book of mormon. As true as the sky is blue, grass is green, the book of mormon is the word of God. It truly is true. Joseph Smith was a true prophet of God and he really did see God and Jesus Christ. i have come to know with assurety, you can too. just read like 10 pages a day and in two months you will know.

because i teach it everyday and testify of it too, its made my testimony grow. and putting aside the spiritual aspect for a moment it just makes senses. learning about how God has always called prophets and how Christs church was established, it makes sense. The same church that Christ established on the earth around 2000 years ago, exists on the earth today. The Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter day Saints. It does.

okay anyway im doing good and thanks for all the love and support. i appreciate it so much. it truly helps to have family and friends that support. most of the brazilian missionaries are the only ones in there families and the dont recieve support. i am so greatly blessed, i cant even believe it. i love you all so much and keep doing whatcha doing! ha love yall
