so this week was amazing, i am really happy for all the blessings the lord is giving me right now on my mission.

This week we saw a true miracle, Marcelo and his whole family were baptized!! It was a truly amazing experence. On thursday they were married in the chapel, it was awesome. marcelo used my suit, and he looked right stunning haha. and i bought a tie that matched his wife´s dress Marina. She was really beautiful as she walked down the aisle and everything. i was supposed to be best man, but it didnt work out, because i would have had to walk down the aisle, and here in brasil you have to give the bride a kiss... and well since i am a missionary that really wouldnt work out. so we chose a member to be the best man. it was really awesome. i took alot of pictures i will show yall some day. On saturday the whole family was baptized. it was awesome, i got something that every elder has tired to do, the bishop baptized! haha, he is like dad, fat.. so he never gets in the water. well after this family we got it. he baptized marcelo and his wife. it was awesome. it was really special to see another family being baptized. the lord is blessing us so much right now it is amazing. i love this work. we are trying our hardest to baptized every single week this transfer. so everyone please pray for us. i love being a missionary.

hurrah for israel!
