Well this week was a really good week. we didnt have any baptisms... again.. wow it has been rough these last 2 weeks. we have alot of investagators, but non of them want to comitt to be baptized. but hey, it is part of the plan, everyone has a choice. But, we are still with a beautiful family Marcelo and Mariana, and their 4 children, and will able be baptized on the 8th. They are already getting ready for the weeding on the 8th. Marcelo is going to use one of my ties and shirts haha he is really excited. Their children and really great, the oldest daughter Kayla is being a little difficult about baptism on the 8th... so everyone please pray for her, she is 18 and has a really annoying boyfriend that is trying to stop her from living the law of chasity. But, i know the Lord will prepare the way. Well this week is week 6, so we are going to have transfers this week, i am not really sure what is going to happen, because my President is leaving today, and then we are going to have a new President... i dont know how much he will be able to change in 4 days.. but you never know. I just am praying alot that i will stay here... i really want to see Marcelo get married with his family.
I am really sad these days about the change of President.. it is going to be really weird.. i really am not sure how to act, probably alot of going to move and stuff.. so i am not sure what to do. but hey, the Lord will help me. Everyone is really weirded out about how it will be. so we will see.
Things with my companion are alright, he isnt the type person i would want to marry lets just say that, but hey we work hard and that is all that matters.
I am glad to be a missionary. Everyone pray alot of me, so that we can organize a new teaching pool.
I love you all. everyone also needs to pray that Brasil can lose in the world cup. haha, it is getting in the way of everything. The entire country is shut down while the soccer game is on. Our President gave us orders that during the game we need to have a district meeting or a zone meeting, so like 2 times a week we have meetings. they are going to play again on friday in the quarter finals, i hope they lose so our work can go back to normal. But at least i am seeing things i never thought i would see. On monday night after the game, a flood of drunker people went in the streets.. it was about 2 thousand people... the police had to come and throw gas and beat up alot of people haha. and of course some missionaries were right by it when it all happened. so they got to see some cool sights. it is crazy how much they love soccer.

Well i love this work. i love being a missionary.
