HEy these last couple of weeks have been great, but a with out a lot of result as far as baptisms, but we have a really neat lady to be baptised this weekend, she is awesome her name is Rita, she is reading the book of mormon and loving it. She accepted our challenge to read it before christmas as we are doing now.
We are preparing for a mission tour with Presidente Soares. It should be excellent. We are preparing as a mission and as individuals that we may truly be blessed as a mission and receive more blessings from the lord.
We are working a lot trying to find families which is the newest challenge from our President it has been a challenge, but I know that the lrod will bless us abundantly.
This week I gave a talk about missionary work in sacrament meeting. How wonderful is the gift of tongues. I believe that really I only said one word wrong in 15 min. Truly the lord has blessed me. I was praying and praying to know how to say exactly what I wanted and I told a story about a miracle that I have had on the mission which was about Cledson, it was touching. I will love to tell all the miracles that have happened here, but it would just take a year.
Something funny is that I am starting to do something that I have never done befoer and that is to talk in my sleep. But it is always about the work, many times I will be teaching. SOmetimes I wake myself up from it, but sometimes it is just Sister Olsen that wakes up, my poor companion. Well, I am not sure maybe this just means that I am immersed in the work, but it is kinda funny! I love you all and pray for you all. Please keep me in your prayers.
Mom I would ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT IF YOU CAME TO PICK ME UP! just know that okay! I hope that you have the opportunity to real this and konw that it is true! There are many people here that I would love you to meet, people that have helped me learn and grow and develop christlike attributes! I am forever grateful for Brazil!

Well,
it´s a good thing that other people e mail me because my family doesn´t really like to very often, but that is okay I really prefer the letters to the e-mails!
I love you all very much! I have thought a bit about everyone, maybe it is because I am hitting my one year mark in in these next couple of days which of course is really weird, but neat.
I know that i must do more in the next 6 months than I have done in the previous 9! I have goals I need to accomplish and I know that the Lord is the one who will help me in doing so! I think about you all very often, even if I don´t write as often as I should I want you all to know how much I love and think about you all!
I am liking this area a lot! There is a wondeful lady that we are teaching named Rita, she is so good to us and I think that she should be baptised here soon, she came to church the last three weeks and is liking it a whole lot. We are seeing what we can do to help her daughter be baptised this weekend. It should be great! HEr name is sara and if you´d like I would appreciate your prayers in her behalf! Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers and I want to know how your talk went annie! I love you all so much! Congrats witht he dance stuff who´d have thought?

Family and Friends,
Well, I didn´t write last week it is true because we had transfers and I have the great opportunity to once again train a new missionary, two in a row! She is awesome her name is Sister Olsen, I think that we will be stayingtogether for a good time, I think probably three months! I had an interview with Presidente tobias, he is such an excellent man and truly called of God to head this mission.
This week was crazy as was the other, I thought about not writing it, but I think that i have to, you know there are somethings that missionaries shouldn´t tell their folks, and Marci is you think mom will flip don´t show her the e-mail okay, well we were assaulted this last week, it was a really interesting story, but I am not sure that I have the tuime to tell the whole thing, they stole our stuff, and right now it doesn´t seem like as big of a dfeal as it was at first, but they only took 12 reais worth of money or like 6-7 dollars and all our stuff, but we received everything back when a lady found our stuff and called a member in the planner, it was awesome and a miracle that I hadn´t taken mycamera and bank cards with me to the zone conference, I know that the Lord is with us guiding and directing our path! In a way it was a but funny. Adventures I love them!
But this week was awesome the first week in the field for my american companion Sister Olsen and we baptised Euripedes and Anderson, sadly Divino moved, but we are looking for more baptisms! I know the Lord will bless us! He is so good to us. The baptisms were wonderful and now we need to help them stay strong in the gospel, this is the hardest part in every mission, Anderson is a young man of 11 years adn we are teaching his mother and aunt and cousin, who I hope will all be baptised here shortly. I love this family they are sospecial, I love especially Rita, she is awesome adn loving the church, I am not sure exactly what she needs, but we are willing to do what it takes! I love the Lord in HIm my soul delights!
Mom I wanted to ask you if you could pretty please use my money to buy a CTR ring for sister Gonçalves, it would be a size 7.5 I think or 8 and it has to be the kind that says CTR in the middle and spins. It is more of a manly make but the one that she really wanted and that they don´t have here in Brazil!
I am happy healthy, in fact I think that I have gained 1-2 pounds here:) but really that is the least of my worries! It is getting realyl hot again here yikes! Love sister judd

Family,

Well, I am loving my new area, it is really great, but without a doubt I miss so many wonderful people there. Yesterday we had a miracle occur, it was pretty sweet! I made a contact with a man and now on the mission we are inviting everyone that we meet to be baptized! It is amazing, but I invited him and he accepted, but he didn´t know the address of where he lives but explained where, we marked a day that we could visit him and left, he in one direction and we another, well we continued on and decided to pass by where he lived to know where to go the next day to meet with him. We passed by found out where it was and then I invited another young man to be baptized, about 5 minutes we talked with him and after we heard someone calling us, we turned around to find Divino the man we had made a contact, he said I was going to the mall, but when you spoke to me it touched my heart what you said, I had taught a short lesson so that we could count him as a new investigator,I thought perhaps tomorrow isn´t good for me and I thought if you´d be willing to share this message with me now I would really appreciate it. Of Course we went with him and taught him, before the lesson started he began to cry and tell us a few things, but the spirit was there really strong as we testified of the Restoration of the church and the Book of Mormon, he was really excited about the Book of Mormon and invited himself to church. It was really a neat experience to see the Lords hand in the work. HE followed the spirit. I think he will be baptized here in 2 weeks! Yipee! HE also said that just 6 months ago he was able to stop smoking after 35 years! I know the Lord has been preparing him for this encounter!
I love the Lord!
Happy Birthday youall! Brent and Becca, I wrote a letter, but i lost it in the transfer, it had I think 4 pictures but I will send others!
Love you all and hope that Mac is feeling better I fasted for him and my Brazillian Comp as well. I know the Lord will bless him. It was funny to hear her say his name in the prayer!I love the Lord!
