Family!
Wow what an awesome week and one with a lot of changes and crazy stuff going on! First of all I have to chastise a little Brent says he only sometimes gets my e-mails, and that he only knew that I had had one baptism. I have had three and will have three more this week! Alexandre, Ernani, Lenir, and this week a miracle family who I hope to see in the temple Milton, Andrea and Mirela! They were a reference from Bishop and they are gold! They finally accepted a baptismal date for this week! Thursday! SO we have more to teach really fast, but they are so awesome and are way excited about the temple! My dream mom and dad would be (if you two still have any plans to pick me up) to go through the temple with them in one year. Almost exactly when I will be headed home. The temple in Campinas! WOW! What fruits! They are wonderful and I sent pictures I think, actually no, but I will! Thank you for the pictures candy and other happinesses! Sweet Aunt Nancy and Uncle Wayne sent a package that was awesome! Thank you! Love you all!
Brent I will send a letter!
We now have an area wayyyy huge to cover and are praying for inspiration to know where to focus our time and we would love to have references from members because they are so much more effective! I loved conference, I only got to watch one session in English the last one and certainly the best, probably because I could understand everything, but it was beautiful and all of you need to find someone for the missionaries to teach! All of you! The work for us is so much more difficult when we have to do all the finding, and nearly impossible! Help1!!!! Every missionary in the whole wide world would pray for this, and Many people pray for the missionaries which is great, but exercise you faith, do something about it! Pray and then search for ways to bless the missionaries! That is my advice for the day! I love you all so much and ask that all the family read my e-mails, I don´t have teh time to write real letters each week, but this I can do and hope that the whole family will be able to hear what is happening here in Brasil!
Our mission has for the last 5 months baptized over 100 people each month! A blessing to serve here at this time. Our goal now is 200, last month we baptized 150 people! Surely this is the work of the Lord! Surely with out a doubt! What an opportunity to be a part of this miracle! When President Tobias arrived here a year and a half ago the number of baptisms was about 47. Imagine it has tripled in the last year! and will continue to raise! Amazing! So Many people are ready for this wonderful news of the gospel, but so many need to be found! So help okay!
Love you all with all my heart!
