Subject: Conference! (Ok, just 11 more days... Patience!)

Hello Everybody!

I didn´t have too much time to write last week because I was making a CD of the Book of Mormon for a recent convert who has dificulty reading. I was quite amazed that I was able to download the entire Boom of Mormon in MP3 in only about 45 minutes. But it took up all my time. I´ll try to write more this week, but if I have time I´m going to make some General Conference Invites to give to people on the street.

Anyway, just to finish what I was saying last week:
Shirley and Sarah are getting ready for baptism. We´ve riddened their house of all coffee. Rodolfo is trying to get the confidence to receive the priesthood so that he can baptize his wife and daughter this Sunday.

Elder Carr is from Salt Lake City. He is a professional singer. I got really excited when I heard that he was moving in with us last week. Unfortunately, he said that barbershop isn´t his thing. He just does solos. (Don´t worry- I´ll convert him!)

We had Stake Conference this last Sunday. The 3rd ever in our stake! (Because it makes a little time that the stake divided itself). Even though it is a 45 minute bus ride to get to the stake center, Rodolfo took his family and Maria das Dores brought hers as well. Maria das Dores is only waiting her divorce and marriage to come through to be baptized. We´ve been having a lot of success teaching families lately.

We did a service project at the house of Aurea (recent convert) cleaning her "quintal" (yard?) and taking away all the "mato" (wilderness?).

President Texeira is having his first missionary reunion, but I won´t be there. I think Salt Lake City is a little outside of our area.

Goodbye for now!
