This week was pretty good, it literally flew by.  We brought one guy to church yesterday and the ward did a great job in welcoming him! The practiced some of the ordenances and the words and stuff in priesthood and they let him be a part of the practices.  haha. it was really cool to see.  His brain has been used and abused by these evangelical churches here, (their is a ton in this part, those churches where one dude yells and everyone feels the spirit real strong that they start to speak in tongues, its pretty cool). we are having to tear out alot of apostasia he has in his brain.  But its going, he accepted a baptismal date.  We had another guy to bring to church but just like last week, his ex wife invited him to go somewhere with her...he has a testimony, he said in the first lesson he felt something different and he believed everything was true, darn woman!

The ward is really excited, we had a ward counsel meeting last night that went really well, the made a ward mission plan and all the programs are excited to contribute to missionary work.  The activity we are doing is an activity that our mish pres used when he was a stake pres that ended up dividing his stake 3 times.  The pres of the area said that our mish pres was the best stake pres in Brasil.  But its sunday where a ton of members invite people and we have a couple teams that help.  one goes and gets the people that need a ride, the other is one that accompanies the investigators as they arrive, and a couple other things. And the speakers are special this day...well they are supposed to be, im speaking, so...ha. 15-20min topic-whatever i want. ha

Thats good mom had a great birthday! dang i miss brownies and ice cream.  hahaha. my comp could probably eat that burritto easy...he eats soooo much! weve already had a few kids tell us that their mom made a ton of food because she heard we eat alot...ha. and then their mom turns all red and says no! i always make a lot! haha. ive been trying to eat a little less to not get to fat...but my comp is known in the mish for how much he eats. my comp is super excited he has a ton of plans and ideas for this area. he loves the work and teaches reall well. im learing alot from him. im the first comp to stick with him for more than one transfer in his mission! but it wasnt really a transfer bacause he got here halfway through the last transfer.

  Its good to hear the ward is working with the missionaries there!  i know how it is when you feel all alone/abandoned by the ward. you literally cant accomplish anything if you dont work together.

everyone is pumped out of their minds here for the world cup! starts next week! do people talk about it in the us?

Well gotta go!

Love you guys!     Boa semana pra vocês!!!

Tchau!
