Hey family and friends,
How are you all? Did you have a good week? I think the family campout was this past weekend? Did you go? How was it? Grandma sent me some of her raisin cookies so I almost felt like I was there with you all! :) I also got some sunflower seeds that had instructions on how to eat them and it looked like something you would write ryan...it was way funny! Have you started writing "how to"´s for food items? What´s new with you all? Tiff and Jas when is your baby due? I know it´s not for a few months. This week was a good one here in the mission field! It was hot this week so I thought summer was coming but they tell me that august will be cold and in sept it will start warming up. I guess we´ll see. My zone had an activity at a park here and we played soccer...i was a little intimidated to play soccer with brasilians but it was a lot of fun. Things are great! My companion is great and we are looking forward to zone conference next week! We had a baptism on saturday of a 16 year old girl who reminds me a bit of Carly Dekeyzer, she´s so cute and funny! She was so excited and the young women in the ward are great with her! It was a good day. Her parents aren´t members but her dad and brother were there too. I am loving Brasil and the people here a lot! What a blessing to be serving here in the Lord´s work! Thank you all so much for your love, support, prayers, testimonies, examples, etc, etc! I love you all!Beijos!
