Dear Family
This past week was great! So Last week we stopped by the church during seminary to say Hi to everyone and This girl named Gabriela who is 15 came us to us and says, "Hey I want to be baptized next Saturday!" We couldn´t believe it! Her family was baptized 4 years ago and she goes to church and mutual and seminary every week. Missionaries have invited her to be baptized so many times, but she never wanted to. But now she does! So we are going to baptize her this saturday! We are so excited!
On Friday we had Zone Conference, my first one! Haha it was pretty cool. It was in a city called Sorocaba, about an hour away. Then on Saturday and Sunday we watched General Conference, except our Chapel here in São Roque doesnt have Satalite, so we went to the Stake center in Sorocaba to watch it. It was pretty cool, on sunday we brought 6 investigators with us. They really liked it! Conference was really good. It was the first time in my life that I watched every session. And I loved it! haha On monday we had our district meeting, which we have every monday morning, which is also at the Stake Center in Sorocaba. So we went to Sorocaba 4 days in a row this past week. Then yesterday we took a Family to São Paulo to see the temple. It was awesome! They are struggling because they lost their son 5 months ago. So we went to the temple for the day and taught them about how families can be together forever! It was very effective. We took a picture of them in front of the temple, which we are going to frame and give them tonight so that they can hang it up in their house.Things are going great here!
Its starting to get really hot tho. And its raining alot too. Its super hot and muggy, and then all of the sudden a storm will blow in a it will rain super hard for 5 minutes then the sun comes out and its hot again and even muggier. Its pretty sweet!
This morning we made french toast and brownies. The brownies turned out this time! I ate so many, I feel really sick right now! haha but it was completely worth it!yesterday while in Sao Paulo we stopped by the mission home and checked to see if we had any letters or packages. Elder Briggs got a package from his mom which included alot of treats and some ping pong balls, paddles and a net! We are going to have fun!!!
So its official, I´ve been in Brazil for 3 months. Its crazy how fast its gone by. But I still have a long long long ways to go. But its safe to say that Im enjoying myself. My area is great! I love my companion, he is such a stud! We get along great and have alot of fun!.. and we work too.
Thank you for all the love a support!
