October 27, 2014





Hey family! 
We got hit with rain here as well! its been wonderful, iwas dying in this sun!!! ha. i thought i would never beg for rain like we have been.  ive been able to sleep really good.
Well this week was great!  We had two baptisms, and 3 in our district!!!  we baptised thyago and milena.  Milena is a daught of a member here that we actually found knocking doors.  It was really cool to see here progress! we had to drop studyin early every day this week to go teach her, but thats chill because it was for a great cause.  my portugeuse is suffering a little without language study and me and my comp need to stop talking in english! haha
Thyago was a miracle, he wasnt sure about the baptism this week but we went to his house ith a member and talked with him and the lord gave us help and he accpeted the baptism and was really excited.  He is really really intelligent. one of the smartest people i know.  He made us lunch on sunday.  Satan did not want him baptized.  But obedience and faith is stronger than him.  Sunday we got at church and he wasnt there, we left and went to his house and his wife answered the door and looked like she had been crying the whole night.  They had been fighting a lot of the night and he said when he was almost leaving to church they started fighting again.  he said he would go to church the next week and that it wouldnt work this week.  but i prayed my heart out for words and we talked with them and they said they needed to make a decision and i said, yes you guys need to make a decision but thyago, i dont want you to make this decision without the holy ghost, you need his guidance, we just opened our mouths and the lords put in words and he went to church and was confirmed and afterwards we had lunch with him!     JUST MIRACLES!!! it was such a great week, i was literally dead when i fell into bed last night!
You are on so many comittees these days dad that i cant keep track! my comp like that photo, he served in florida for 7 months of his mission, he really misses it.
Thanks for the leader input dad, i really needed it. i really like that quote from dumbledore!   
do you guys have pictures of grandma and grandpa?  from both sides of the fam?  and the names of my great grandparents. it for the little green "my family" booklet  for family history.  i have some of the fam here actually so its all good.
my knees alright.  ive got strength to keep chugging along! i wear my brace every night to sleep.

Well i love you guys! miss you a ton!  less than two months till skype....
