Thanks so much for the emails family :)!! It really is great to hear how everyone is doing! I hope you all know how much I admire each of you and learn from you! Thanks for your words of wisdom! How is everyone this week? I hope California was a blast! Mom and dad happy anniversary...I know I´m late. Lucas happy birthday!! And everyone happy July! Things are good here in Brazil! I am learning more and more that I have a lot to learn!! I didn´t write about Lucas´s baptism last week. He is a 9 year old boy and his dad was baptised when I first got here and was able to baptise two of his sons. It was so sweet to witness. It was a hard week to be honest...still great but he had to drop of few investigators that I really love and still have hope for but they really weren´t progressing...and in turn were digressing...it´s hard to do but is better for the work. It seemed like satan was doing all he could this week to tear down each of our investigators but we are teaching some people with a lot of faith and I know they will endure. So my companion is great! She is 38 years old and has been a member for 3 years. She looks and acts like a 26 year old...she´s really fun and easy to be with. She has experience that helps our investigators a lot and she is very supportive and complimentary...I am learning a lot from and with her. We are poorer this week then usual so we only have 30 minutes on the internet today and I want so badly to reply to everyone of your emails but I will have to wait until next week...just know that it really means the world to me to hear your advice! I love you all! Have a great week!
Muito amor!
