Subject: New record of investigators at church!

Hello Everybody!

Elder Urie and I broke our record for number of investigators at church. We hit 18 on Sunday. It was really tough. We´re shooting for 20 this week.

I don´t have too much time to type because we had to spend most of our P-day playing basketball and looking for a dry cleaners in the center.
On Friday, we have zone conference with President and Sister Richardson, who just got here last week. We had to take a bus to get to Santos where we had the conference. It just also happened to be the 4th of July that day. Elder Urie and I live with 2 Brazilians (Elder Magnum and Elder Z. Santana). They both went to English schools (as in schools that teach English) before the mission and know a lot about America. So, they woke up early on Friday and surprised us with a traditional American breakfast with pancakes and french toast. They also put up an American flag. The problem is that they are really good cooks, and I think I ate too much. Then we had the hour long bus ride. We were pretty much the first people on the bus, so we got good seats, but as the ride goes on, we all gave up our seats to some older ladies. So, we were cram packed standing up on a long bumpy bus ride, and I had eaten a little too much. It sufficeth me to say that that is why I needed to dry clean my suit. :) (Don´t worry, I got out of the bus on time, and no one else had to do any dry cleaning).

Well, we have so many miracles happening in our area, but my time is up. Have fun everybody!
