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 baptised. Cassio says it won´t be too long for her, and I hope not, she is such a special person. I have pictures.
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!
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!
