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!
