Alice was baptized!!!!

Was a pretty good week.  

I had the opportunity to baptize Alice. 



It was super awesome and her family was there too and had questions and now want to take the lessons. So, you better hide you kids, and hide you wives, cuz we about to baptize everybody up in this here family.  ;)

Alice was super excited and happy to be baptized. Her mom came to church yesterday to see her get confirmed and afterwards she said that the difference she has seen in her daughter in the last month is unimaginable and she is like an angel now lol.  Later that day she sent us a text message saying she was like glowing with happiness and radiating with joy which is crazy. Having the opportunity to baptize her was really cool too, finally was able to break out the whites.

We spent a good amount of time with Sheila and Socrates yesterday and they seemed to be doing good. Pretty sure he has received the papers he needs but now he is second guessing it because the devil is always working, why cant he just give us a break for once?  It would be much appreciated.

Julio and Yasmin are doing well, they have had some previous trouble with the word of wisdom but we are working with them and they are coming along. They will be getting married here soon. Yasmin came up to Alice after church yesterday and talked to her and told her that it is her dream to get baptized, so the desejo (Sorry don't remember that word in English) is there.

Things between me and elder costa are good. 

I'm excited to face-time or whatever with family in a couple weeks. Crazy how fast the time has gone. I don't know if you guys can tell, but I'm really having trouble writing this email. I've spent like half an hour writing just this lol. 


Love you guys

Service in the acorn field and the monkey.

This week we were asked to work in acorn field of a member and I liked that a lot. We spent a long part of the day working on the farm and then they fed us some super good food. We also went back to that big rock that we went last week, we took a few of the other elders and sister there. A little while back we also went to a large statue of Christ that sites on top of a hill.  It's not the famous one in Brazil, but still famous. On the way to the statue, I was able to get this monkey to take a treat from me. Other that that we had a good week and found some good people. Nicolly will get baptized next week on Sunday. We had some good lessons with her this week. She will for sure to get baptized.  I'm excited that at the end of this week I will probably have a new Zone leader that ill be training.

Yep, we were robbed and btw it's Christmas.

I was transferred to poços de caldas and the zone has a little bit of difficulty so hopefully I'll be able to help them out a bit. My companion is Elder Matias from pernumbuco and he has 1 year and 7 months on the mission. He is cool, we will have to talk a little more about obedience but i think it will be ok. We had our mission conference of Christmas which was cool. One funny thing that happened is that we woke up today and the front door and the garage door were wide open and there was a bunch of stuff missing from the living room and there was mud on the floor. We got robbed, a backpack, a board game, headphones that were brand new and a guitar lol. We called president and they might move houses because this is the second time lol. But we are all ok. A cool experience is that there is a guy in this area that has what Steve Hawking has about the muscles stopping to work and he is paralyzed, but he can move his tongue a little and his wife understands him. I felt the spirit real...

Set a new record while having another dog encounter!

We set a new record here in this area for investigators in the sacrament meeting with 12. That was a huge blessing and we felt really good. I stayed in the same area with my same companion again. Elder Gonzales was transferred to Hortalandia for his last transfer here in the mission. Ary and his wife came to the church building Saturday night to see it and we took them on a tour before they would come on Sunday. They were having an activity with the young single adults and all of the returned missionaries grabbed them dance and they loved it. They then went to church the next day and absolutely loved it. They then asked us if there baptism was still on and we were like of course it is lol. They also gave us references of there 2 daughters that are married and live in our area. We visited one and she cried also, she felt the spirit very strongly and said that she will start going to church as well. Ary and Dezilda also said that they were going to take their parents to church, lol. ...
