How is everyone this week?! I hope life is great! Things here in Brasil are good! The past week was fun...getting used to the routine here and the language. I like the area a lot it´s like the outskirts of São Paulo city so it is a little smaller and less busy but still a city and still a lot of people. My companion and I live in a nice apartment for the area and it is plenty big enough for two of us! We teach a ton of lessons because people are incredibly open and accepting of a message about Christ and we had 7 investigators at church on Sunday which was awesome! It´s a crazy and incredible work! It amazes me because everyday I feel the Lord´s hand in the work more and more! It is great! This week has been a little different because my companion got sick on Monday so our work was slower and we couldn´t even leave the apartment yesterday which was hard but there was no way. She is doing better today so we are hoping to visit all of the investigators that have baptismal dates tonight after p-day is over. It was hard to be in the house...I had a lot of time to study...and to think about the people who we weren´t able to teach that day. But it is better that she get well and so we can work hard. Mom did I already thank you for the cookie recepie? I made them for a family in our ward that always helps us and they loved them. They don´t do homemade cookies here really so I gave her the recepie and I think she´s going make them...she was excited so thanks! I feel like there should be a lot more to write but I don´t have a ton of time and can´t think of much else except that I LOVE you all!! You are in my thoughts and prayers! This gospel is incredible and I am so grateful for the opportunity to be teaching it and to be learning more...I have learned a lot out here! Life is sweet! You are all in my thoughts and prayers! Thank you for your prayers, letters, emails, etc etc.
I love you!
Muito amor!
