Hello!!!


Well this week was a great week. We are really happy with all the blessings the Lord is giving us. We are seriously being blessed alot, and I know that we really need to work a lot harder to show apprecation for these blessings. This weekend we were really blessed with alot of investagators at conference, and all of them loved it. We had luis fernando and aline, who are just as excited as ever for their wedding and baptism this next week. we also started teaching aline's mom and sister, who live really close, they both went to church and loved it too. we marked their baptisms for the same day as aline and luis, which is going to be great. we also had pedro at church again, he is a member's son, and is really excited about his baptism. he is going to be baptized on saturday! We are really excited about that. We also had brother henrique, he is a single man, about 35 and great. he has been reading the book of mormon nonstop, and loves it. we marked his baptism for the 23rd of this month. we have really firm baptisms for every single week this transfer. we are really excited, and we are going to continue working hard to be able to do even better. we established a HUGE goal for this transfer and we know that it is possible. we are really excited, we want to work really hard. The Lord is blessing us alot.
Hey, cool story, i totally got to drive our presidents car!!! haha, that has never happened before, no missionary has ever droven a car on the mission, but yesterday president was here in the office and needed the car moved but he was busy, so he gave me the keys and said go crazy elder. haha. it was awesome. one of the coolest things that has happened on the mission, just kidding, but it was really cool.
well i am really happy. I love my companion, we are getting along great. he is a great man. I am really liking my area and all the investagators that we are teaching. i am really thankful for this work, it is amazing to be a missionary.
i love you all, thanks for all the prayers and support.
Hurrah for Israel!
