Okay my beloved Family and friends,
SO this was a tough week. I was given the assignment to speak in sacrament meeting about hope, I should have known that the week would feel hopeless sometimes it just works that way. It was a bit of a tough week as every single one of our four baptisms fell through. We have so many people so close to being baptised. A few really broke my heart, but I have a lot of hope. I believe that 3 of the four will still progress until baptism. And I have learned that if we are faithful wehave the right to continue in our hope. I know that the Lord will be true to all His promises.
We are seeking inspiration and revelation because we have worked in just about all the neighborhoods here in Hidrolandia, many times when we make contacts we ask if we have already talked to this person before, and usually the answer is yes. It is kinda funny sometimes, but at the same time it can be a little frustrating.
I received a package from Aunt Gayle, thank you so much! It was all perfect.
I wish I had a little bit better news to send you all, but I send my love and the things that I am learning even through out the hard times are so valuable and good that I think that it is all worth it!
Send my love to Emma, it will be fun to find out where she will be serving!
Ruffin, thanks for the sweet letter! I love to hear about your sweetest little girls
Austin love you!
Matt, I sent a letter to you, but I sent it and after realized that I hadn´t put the letter in the envelope, sorry I will send it soon. I am losing it!
I love the Lord I know that he is with me especially in my times of need, and I know that he desires that I have the desires of my heart, just as he desires that you all have the desires of your hearts as well.
Send my love to Grandma Alma.
I need Davita Graham´s address.
Love you all

Oi minha familia amada!
I am doing so good! I thank you all for your letters it is so good to hear from you all and it sounds as though things are going pretty good for all of you there! Dad I am proud to hear of your success!
Austin you made me laugh when mom said that she calls you her little chocolate candy and you call her your white candy. I love you forever!
Sounds like you are all busy! that is good keep being, but remember what is most important and don´t allow the not so important things get in the way of what is doing what is most important.
I am happy we have 4 baptisms planned for this weekend and with faith they will all be able to be baptised. Their names are Ricardo, Miguel, Cledson, and Cristiano. We have seen so many miracles it is amazing to watch the Lord´s hand in His work. I don´t know all things, just as Nephi says but I do know that God loves his childen.
Cledson we have been working with since I arrived here in Hidrolandia, he is awesome and a great friend, he has a lot of questions and has really spent sometime really thinking about what he would like to do with his life he has been coming to church for quite sometime and he is often found in the home of members. HE knows he needs to be baptised and he accepted he will be baptised this weekend. I am very happy with him. We have been helping Miguel to stop smoking, he hasn´t stopped completely and he received a blessing, we will continue to pray and fast.
Speaking of fasting I have a much stronger testimony of what a fast can do to help people and onesself as well, never in my life have I fasted like here on the mission. It seems weird if we have a week with out a fast, but I know that this is why The Lord is blessing us so abundantly! I love the Lord in HIm my soul delights.
Take care all you and thank you for the package and all letters and love. Keep it coming.
I am so proud of you Jenny Keep up the good work and I know the Lord will continue to bless you for your missionary efforts. You have my prayers always I am so pleased, I know that you are doing something that will bless your life forever! Keep it up!Happy late b-day matthew! I love you! Happy Father´s Day daddy! I am so happy to hear such fabulous news from alll of you!
