Familia,
Mom, I think that I will be home the 12th, but I too am not sure. I will have the opportunity to call you on mother´s day just one or two days before I get home which is kinda funny, but we will be able to resolve all of the little details.
As of for right now, I am trying my best to keep 100% focused on the mission. I have so much more to do, and with Heavenly Father´s help I believe I will be able to accomplish my goals from my mission.
We have a couple of investigators wwho are progressing to be baptised this weekend, one that has been taught throughout the last three months, he was the elder´s investigators, but after they left we took him on and he readily accepted to be baptised. I am happy for him, he loves the book of mormon.
I love the mission. I had a moment of shock and bittersweet heartache this week when I thought of all my beloved irmãos in Hidrolandia. I started to cry. I love this place and the people who have made a real impact im my life and my personal salvation. I realize I am really nothing, but that the Lord has and continues to work mighty miracles through me. How wonderful to love His children here in Brasil.
It is interesting as a missionary that you are forced to look at problems and work diligently to resolve them. It is great when you can look and see a little bit of what your work has done and changed. I lvoe the lord in him my soul delights. This week I have been studying reverence and virtue. I know that, and have to constantly remind myself that God loves His children with such a perfect love and that he has so much mercy on all of us. I loved General conference and the ways in which I was called to repentance. I invite you all to be a little better do a little more and love a little more too. I am excited!
We have a little thing in our district that every transfer whoever baptises the most gets something. last time it was shakes at the Chichino and let me brag a little and let you konw that Sister Riggs and I were the lucky hardworking winners :) this transfer it is pizza, real good pizza, so we are shooting first of all to please our father in heaven and gain our own salvation, but I like pizza too.:) Love you all and pray for you too!

Family,
this week we worked hard to help a few people be confirmed. I am so happy for my recent-converts here and am excited, there is so much to do and the field is white already to harvest.
Presidente Tobias came and we had a meeting, it was great, a call for repentance. There is so much to do, but we can´t get discouraged, Heavenly Father will help I am sure.
I believe I have the bestest family in the whole wide world. Or at least the best parents who write every week. I will be eternally grateful for your support!
Mom don´t feel too bad, I will show you Brasil one day I hope! I love this beloved country, with all its differences and beauty.
It is hot, and rainy and I am loving all of it! Seriously we thank heavenly father for the rain that refreshes us from the hot hot sun, and then for the beautiful sun that makes it so we don´t have to walk all day with sloshy shoes and brings the people out to the street so we can talk to them and invite them to be baptised.
We had a family night last night with Celia and Tiago and invited some recent converts and an investigator. it was really fun! I love my companion Sister Riggs, she is different than me, and I love the differences we laugh a lot and she helps me be calmer:)
I know God lives and that He loves us and that He is constantly on our side when we need him! I think I will use the rest of my time to send pictures! I love you all! I have one more transfer is all. 6 weeks crazy pants! Congrats dad on your car sales! that is so awesome! Becca for the scholarship!

Family!
This week perhaps the greatest miracle happened of my whole mission, it is weird comparing miracles, but this weekend we had 4 baptisms all at the same time. Our family that is super special and a great blesssing from the Lord was baptised along with two other men we have taught Carlos Henrique and Antonio. I love this family to much. We, my comp and I have been praying for almost a month that we could find a family to baptise in March! Thye are so amazing that they had a baptisimal date for the27th, but they wnated to be baptised before and happily had been to church enough times to be baptised SUnday! It was way beautiful and fun and adventurous because the church here didn´t have water so we had to call the elders in the other area to fill the font there and our mission leader of our branch used a 16 passenger van to help bring poeple to the other chapel! It was awesome. I love the Lord and this work I read today in d and c that if we are not willing to give our lives for the kingdom of god we are not worthy to be called disciples of christ. WOW pretty heavy stuff huh? I love this work with all my heart. My feet have been killing me these last couple of days, but my comp prayed for me and they feel so much better. I think what hurt them was the last 3 days running home to get there before 9:30. What you won´t do to teach lessons. Don´t worry or send anything, I am doing great now!
I received a letter from my Silvia, she was baptised and I was transferred so I wasnt there to see the confirmation, but she said she had a course for ther
