family!

this week was real good. we had the dedication of the new chapel and it was the last time that i will see president fernandes. this wednesday president hall will arrive. its crazy. but yeah we stayed in the chapel this week and when the people came to visit we showed them around and then we had a room where we taught the first lesson. its
was awesome. i literally taught the first lesson more then 50 times this week. its was awesome and the spirit was way strong because we were in the house of the lord. but yeah. im loving the work. i love teaching the gospel of Christ. i know that it is the only true gospel of this earth and on any other. this knowledge is worth everything that i have passed and went through in my life. i know without a doubt that this church is true. everyday i learn more about the truth and i
learn from teaching other people. this week we found a family very special. i hope that all goes well with them. the man of the family has a huge desire to know more about the truth.

im starting to realize that my time is fading away. i dont want this to end i only have 8 more months to spread the word of the true church, just 8 to be a full time missionary of my Savior, just 8 to work my butt of to help the lost children of God. actually i have more then 8, i truly have a life time but only 8 to do it all day every day. pray that i can be a better insrtument in the Lords hands and that i can be more faithful loving and obedient. thanks for the love and support.

family!

this week was good. the work is going great. we hade our last
sacrament meeting in the old church and we will be moving to the new
chapel this week. everyone is excited to visit the new church and so
we will have like thousands of people to teach this week. Oh and
during this week we are going to sit in the chapel and teach all the
people that are going to visit the chapel during open house. im so
excited.

but yeah so this week we baptized and taught tons! its was real good.
and im with my new companion who is adapting real well with the
mission life. its one of the most difficult things but he is doing
great. his name is actually elder vicente and he is from porto alegre.
he has 6 days in the mission field. i have been blessed to train two
missionaries and both of them have been awesome missionaries that
adapted quickly. there are some that take months to adapt. i havent
tooken a pic of the chapel yet but next week i will send you guys some
pics!! the people we are teaching didnt want to go to church yesterday
becasue brasil was playing and everyone wanted to stay home and watch.
im not kiddin when i say that a regular soccer game of the brasil
national team is bigger then the superbowl. its crazy. and not to
mention that im in a small city, eveyone says its crazier in a real
big city.

i love you all. i dont know what else to say..

love
