Familia Amada,
Wow! This week has been amazing. Truly the lord is blessing us abundantly! We have some investigators who are very special already! I want to tell you about one family. the mother is a single parent with three children, her name is Sabrina. She is very cool and I know that they will be great additions to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. We met her children first and then a few days later we met her in a totally different neighborhood, and when we went to visit her children we found her again. She and two of the three children will according to our faith be baptised this next Sunday.
We also have a special young man of 29 years named Cledson who we have been teaching a bunch, it is a special experience with him because we always teach him in the home of a member. He has been to church several times and are planning to have his baptism this weekend as well.
No grandma, sadly Maria has not accepted a day as of yet, but she will I know it! She will be baptised in the next two weeks, she cannot afford to wait it is true, thank you so much for your prayers and your strength.
We have so many wonderful people, and just need the wisdom of the Lord to know how we can focus on all of them and expand our limits!
Thank you all for your letters they boost my spirits!
Happy Birthday to everyone this month of July, I am sending birthday letters today, but a couple won´t make it until after the fact, but love you all the same!
I am so happy for all my cousins and loved ones who are making righteous choices and continue to do so! I know the lord will bless you with all the righteous desires of your hearts! Love you alll!!! I am excited to know that upon my return I will have more neices and nephews and cousins and all that fun stuff! What a beautiful plan our heavenly father has for us!
Marci let me know if you are able to do the camera thing. Perhaps you already have done so, if so that is wonderful!

Ola familia amada!
Well, this was a week of miracles for us here in Hidrolandia, like I said I am still here after the transfer, I think a part of me wanted to leave this area, but the Lord had different plans, and now I can see what He was planning. I love when He lets me in on his wisdom sometimes.
We had the baptisms of Lara, Julio Cesar, and Vitor this weekend. It was beautiful. It was interesting as well because all of them are children, but the Kingdom of Heaven is children, right? Vitor only is eight years old, and Lara 10, and Julio Cesar is 11. But they were beautiful baptisms.
The members are helping us so much and it is wonderful! I am really loving this people here in Hidrolandia.
I just got some really happy news today from my old companion Sister Da Silva, she said that one of my baptisms Adrea who I love so much is now the Secretary of the Relief Society in the ward there. I am so happy I know she has so much to offer, and that she will help the church so much. I love that family soooo much!
This weekend we hope to have one or two baptisms. We continue to pray for Maria, she is a wonderful simple and humble woman who is the mother of Cassio, a recent convert, and wife of Antonio, our recent baptism. She came to church again and says that she wants to be baptised, but she wants to choose when to be baptized. Cassio says it won´t be too long for her, and I hope not, she is such a special person. I have pictures.
I am so glad to be a missionary! Keep praying and being obedient. I just read the other day in the Ensign that when we are obedient we have the guarantee that our prayers will be answered! I know it is true! I love to see a few ways in which I have changed! I love you all so much and pray for you always and hope that you will continue to pray for me!

Speaking of picture Marci, I have a big favor to ask of you, my companion asked if I could ask for her a digital camera. She doesn´t have one and I would like to buy one for her. I have the money for it in some bank account I am sure. But, when you send it send it in a box like poptarts or something like that that looks like it really is what the box says, because of the mail problem here sometimes things are stolen. If you could look into it and find a good buy and send it to Hidrolandia. Right now we are together. I am more than happy to pay the price, just ask mom to send you the money! Thank you so much Marci, I know that you will take care of everything really well!

Familia,
Wow things sound so great there at home, like there are many changes and everything. That is good! Sounds like some of you are real busy, but I hope you are loving life and all.
This week was interesting and parts were tough and others really good.
This week we had a conference with Presidente Tobias and Sister Tobias, it is always really great to strengthen our testimonies and remind us of eternal truths, but most of all to remind us that our purpose is to baptize. No one else in the whole world has this purpose to baptize. If we want to see the church grow we must baptize, if we want to be blessed we must baptize and all that jazz! It is true but it hurt a lot knowing that we have not been able to baptize for the last 5 weeks straight. Finding the elect this week was a little problem. But things will turn around I just know. I wrote a letter to Emma today in which I tried to explain how I have grown on the mission and what I have learned. It was difficult and truly I have learned and relearned and experienced a lot. It helps remind me sometimes of the simpleness of the gospel, and at the same time how much we have to do to change our desires and actions to show that the Celestial Kingdom is our goal, and our very deepest desire.
Amanda Doty is going to Russia!!!!! WOW That is so crazy! I am so happy for you and all my good friends who are making wise choices and getting married, or serving missions, and showing forth their faith.
Marc, and Sean are moving to St. George wow interesting. Good luck with everything! I love you and can´t wait to see my new niece and nephew!
The food here is wonderful! I love rice and beans, :) it is true too which is the best part of it. HOnestly I feel like something is missing if we don´t have beans and rice!
I am learning so much here, and hope to be a much better person on my return, but don´t think about that for another year okay! Don't get trunky fam. I love love love you all! I loved your letters today that I read. Brent I have written 2 letters your way so don´t be too upset!
I am so happy for Verle!
Dad and Mom you are so special to me and I will forever be in your debt. Thank you for everything and most importantly showing me how I could gain the most precious gift I feel like I have in this life, my testimony, I love MY god lives and loves me and I this feeling becomes stronger and stronger each day with each new experience. Everything that is important to me is important to me, and has worth because of the gospel of Jesus Christ in my life!

Family,
Oh how I love you all! it was great to get a few e-mails, and last night I received good news that there are letters waiting for me tomorrow when we will have a meeting with our district. What a pity I don´t have them today though because it is P day and we get to read letters on Pday.
It is great that throughout the hard times we are able to learn so much.
I am learning and learning, Sometimes I wish to quit learning:) because sometimes learning hurts and it requires a lot of humility and the natural man in me resists, but I know this is not part of the lord´s plans. We have many fantastic people here. People who are very funny, and I am learning how to work with members. I love and pray for you all!
Love Sister Judd
Sorry it´s another short one, next week I will hurry with my letter to Presidente Tobias.
Dad I sure wanted my dad this week. I thought of how fortunate I am. Thank you for your counsels.
