Alexandre was baptised on Saturday Feb 14 2009! Happy Valentines Day to me!!!!!!!!! I was so thrilled! HE received the Holy Ghost the next day in sacrament meeting and will be making visits with us now. This is so good because it will help him stay away from the evils of the world and remain worthy! I recorded his testimony and will send an invitation and pictures of the baptism very soon! Very happy! This is the Lords work!

The very day that he received the Holy Ghost I had to give a talk. The missionaries in the ward are in charge of the talks the third week. nerve wracking. You thought that giving a talk was hard try giving one in a language that is not your own. BOy! Anyway sister Chaves helped me and it was okay I think about obedience.

I am absolutely loving the area here. I can say that freely now because we just had transfers and I was not transferred, but my dear companion was sister wells is gone. Really now tchau Ingles. BYe English. It was so nice, but this will be so good for me I know, and I hear that my new companion sister JotaSilva is powerful! Good because we have a powerful work to perform, I am just learning about the power of this work!
I received the advice from Sean that I should remember that the lord sent Kami Kaye Judd to Brasil Goiania, and I want you to know that I think about that all the time. I had no idea how much it would mean to me, but I am starting to really know how much power Sister Kami Kaye Judd has. I never knew I could do this. I saw it in dreams but never knew that I could actually become this type of missionary that talks to 20 people in the street asking and teaching and inviting for church and getting addresses to visit in homes all day everyday! What a marvelous work. I can´t explain it, but I feel like yes this is the Sister Kami Kaye Judd that i am. And I am realizing how sacred this time is. Really. this is not my time. This time is for my God. This changes my desires so much and I truly can say that my heart is here with the people here and I long for their acceptance, not of me really, but of our Savior Jesus Christ!
I know this is where I am to be. I know that I have a great work to perform and with the mercy and help of my savior this is what I intend to do. So yes, I remember who I am and am realizing who I really am, and remembering who I really am and learning to use the things that have helped prepare me for this great work.
I have another person that we think will be baptized for sure this month as Well his name is Hernani! Very cool! It is interesting how God puts people in our path and he truly has helped us find some very elect people.I love you all
