SOOOOOOOO close



Mãe!

So Elder Kennedy and I are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO close to BAPTISMS it's not even funny! Holy cow I love my comp. He's the man!

So this week was spectacular! This mission is changing it's vision right now and we are going to baptize out of our minds! I plan on doubling my baptisms in my last 6 months. Earlier on in my mission I was all like "baptism ain't success" but that has changed. To have success on my mission, I NEED TO BATIZAR.

We have been working a ton with the members lately and been taking them out with us for several hours of work. It's been great. By the way you should totally look for opportunidades to teach with the missionaries. They sound like they are good missionaries and they really neeed you to testify with them. I invite you to mark with them to teach.

By the way about the felt tomato, loose the mouth.

Keep running over mailboxes. It will be good.

Woa I'm turning 21 now lol.

My comp just turned 21. lol.

love you

Hey Dad 
I am way haps that Uncle Eric is doing better. I also pray every single day for E. That kid will not turn into a man if he doesn't go on a mission. Fer real. 

I am really glad that N is going on a mission as well. There is not a single person that should not go on a mission. This just makes me really happy. He could be a good influence on his friends. It just doesn't make sense why anyone would like not want to serve a mission. It just makes no sense. not at all.

So my debit card expired the 31st of Dezembro. I need you to send my a new wan like ASAP. It's pretty urgent that I get access to that money because I desperately need to buy a pair of shoes!

But I loves you,

Hay Mahm

Hey Mahm!

So this week was dank. We had tons of sucsess and tons of peeps at church. We are going to baptize in two weeks for sure.

K Daug and I are rocking the world down here.

A few days ago we talked to this lady at her doorstep and we marked a day to come back and hit her with GOSPEL FIRE. So we came back on the designated day and she wasn't home. This is very common. But then as we were about to walk away, a different lady left the home and so we decided to talk to her. She was way cool and immediately invited us over. Her name was V and she lived close by. We went over to her house on Wednesday and we also found her 19 year old son named L. We taught a watered down restoration but her son didn't really pay a lot of attention. V kept saying that we should pray for him because he really needed it. He kept saying the same thing about her. So I guess there was some tension. But anyways V loved our message and was really excited to learn more. Anyways the next day we were walking down the road and it was late There were a bunch of police cars and men with big ol' guns blocking our way so we couldn't get to our appointment. I asked one why, and he just said that there was an occurrence. Whateves. A few peeps told us that "3 kids had been shot by the police on the street." We were walking away and I turned to K dawg and said "what if it was L?" He was all like "naw". But the next day we went back and sure enough, L was gone. We taught V a watered down plan of salvation and invited her to church. She literally went to her son's burial Sunday morning and church that afternoon. She is the most elect person I have ever met in my entire life. She is finding comfort in her time of need because of the gospel of Jesus Christ. So just remember, there are NEVER excuses not to go to church. So she is working towards getting married so she can be baptized.

Fingers crossed!

Love y'all.  Gotta go! Tell dad that I will write him for sure next week!

Totally Beasting It Up

1/5/15
Whadup Mahm!?

So this week was WAY SWEET. K-daug I are totaly beasting it up down here in Vila Clara! This place is wayyyyyy slummy but it's awesome. We are already going to be staying together another six weeks so that makes me so incredibly happy. This transfer is looking up already with baptisms already marked for the first three weeks. We've got a bunch of people already coming to church and we are super excited to be baptizing a bunch of priesthood  holders here in a bit. 

My last pair of shoos are dead. Yep. So I went to Saude to try and find a new pair but I couldn't. I'm going to try out a store here in my area to see if they dont have anything. My feet keep getting wet because of the holes. And K-Daugs shoos are pretty much already done as well. 

A few daysago I introduced K-Daug to avocado shakes. Best thing in the entire universe. He loves them. We are also addicted to pizza. We buy it like 3-4 times a week. My favourite is called the Romeo and Juliet. It's a combination of either mozzarela or this cheese called catupiry and another thing called goiabada. Which is a type of candied fruit that only grows here in Brazil.  It's suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuper good.

I am so excited to be baptizing with K-Daug. so glad that the Broaddy-B kept ustogether once more. 

I'm teaching a drug dealer right now. He stopped snorting crack and smoking marijuana. And he turned in his drugs, but now he doesn't have a job and has to pay the rent. He has a lot of faith. He's on date to be baptized on the 11th. He's already been to church a few times.

We are also teaching this lady named A who is super strong in her other religion. We use a lot og guile to get her to assume the invites that we give her. she came to church 2 times already. Here is a pop quiz for you. What prophet in the Book of Mormon was reffered to as using "guile"?

I'm so stoked Evan is on splits with the Elders. How are the Elders? Any convert baptisms lately in the ward?

Love you bye!
