Hey family, this week was a really great week. I am really loving being here in my new area. It is all really going amazing. My bishop is probably the best bishop in the mission, he is really excited to baptize the whole world, so we are defintely going to have alot of baptisms in the next month. This week we had 2 baptisms, Elen and Guilherme. The are all family of members, we are going to work alot with this family. Elen is 20, and she is really cool, i think she has a crush on my companion haha, so we had to really be careful when we were teaching her. This family Valnez and Rosana are really cool, they are recent converts, and they have alot of referals for us to teach. At the baptismal service we had more than 10 investagators there watching, so we are going to see alot of baptisms in the future. I am really excited to be here with Elder Philipp, he is a really good missionary. He has like 6 or 7 months on the mission, and is really excited to work. He had some troubles with the other ZL that were his companions, but i think he is liking me. It has been really tough for him because he entire mission his companions have always been ZL or DL, so he hasnt ever really know what normal missionary work is.. so we are going to work really hard so that next transfer he can be senior. He is from Alpine or close by... he went to Lone Peak.. that is about all i know... I dont really like talking with my companion about our pre lives.. ha i just like to work. We have a really amazing family of 5 that we are teaching, her name is Regiane.. she is really amazing. We marked her baptism for the 4th, and together with her 4 kids they are going to be baptized.. everytime we go to her house she is always talking about her baptism, when we take members with us she says, hey did you know that i am going to be a member of your church on the 4th haha she is really prepared, and all of her children love us too, so it is going to be a really special family. I really feel blessed to be here, i have a feeling that i am going to be able to help the kingdom of the Lord ALOT in this area, there is some much room for growth. there is going to be alot of baptisms in April.
I love this work, i love being a missionary!!! Pray for me!!!
Hurrah for Israel!!
