Hello Everybody!

Neusa was baptized on Saturday! She, Bianca, and Maria de Lourdes were all confirmed on Sunday!
We're teaching a golden family! Daniel (dad), Elizangela (mom), and Maria Letícia (daughter). They've really been prepared to receive the gospel. Sadly, they lost an infant son about a month ago, but the knowledge that we've shared with them about the Plan of Salvation has really brought peace to their souls. This experience helped them accept the invite to be baptized. They´ve been to church the last 4 weeks in a row and will be baptized this Sunday. We're going to take them to the stake president's house tomorrow night for a family home evening.
Also this coming Sunday, Lúcia will be baptized. We got to take her to church in a wheelchair. She had dubbed every young man in the ward her "grandson."

Sunday night, I accidently left our keys in the bishop office and didn't realize until we got home that night at 9:30pm. Luckily, our ward mission leader had picked them up, and with the help of Daniel (our investigator) we were able to get them. We finally got into our apartment at 10:30 and just went straight to bed. Anyway, that made Monday morning a rush because we marked a division with another companionship and had to wake up at 5:30am to get there. On top of that one of the district leaders in our zone was robbed. They only got his cell phone (and watches and stuff) but that made some communication difficult. Another companionship moved houses without letting anyone know what their new address was or new telephone number and didn't even worry about calling anyone when they couldn't get a hold of their district leader who no longer had a cell phone. Anyway, after the rush of trying to contact everyone and get things in order (like missing baptism info from other wards), things got under control.


Thanks for all the love and support!
Goodbye for now!
