Letter June 25, 2008

Hey! How ae things going? i am devistated to hear about juston, it tears my heart because i care about him so much. but all i can do is pray for him and hope that he comes around, dad doesnt help him at all. because he is always on his back and it really upsets me that he is. but i cant do anything about that. but things here are going really good, the baptism and wedding were amazing. we baptized a family...Laudejane, Irinelton, Iraílton. Elisângela, and they are a great family. We still stop by and talk with them once in awhile, but i really dont know what to tell ya. because i dont know a ton about them, because i can only understand some of the stuff that they talk about. My vocabulary is pretty limited to only the gospel, but i am working on expanding it. plus i have only been here for three weeks. but we have been having fun and working a lot. today we went to the zoo that they have here and took some pictures bought a souveignir, i cant remember how to spell it i am going to have to learn english all over again when i get back. but things are going really well, we have atleast four more baptisms coming up here really soon, because we set a couple more dates. one is this sunday, a 15 year-old girl that is related to a member in the ward, then next week we have another wedding and baptism of three, another small family. the work is going really well. God has been working a miracle in this area. because no one every baptizes this many people in a transfer, you lucky if you get two or three. so things are going great. the weather is hot and the work is hard, but things are going awesome. it sounds like things are going really good with you and Kaya, i hope things keep getting better. and they broke the ground this past week and started building the new temple here. last p-day we went to the temple site and took some pictures of the site and Rio Negro(Black River). and then we also had the Area Presidency come and talk to us. which was good, it was hard for me to understand everything that they said, but i understood enough to understand what the point is that they wanted to get across, so that is good. and we are getting a new mission president this coming transfer, because our mission president was called to the Seventy last general conference. the new president will be an American, President Jamie. but that is pretty much everything that has been happening. because everyday is about the same, walk, get rejected, walk, teach, walk, get rejected, walk, teach, feel the spirit a ton, and just make what you can out of everyday. and it seems that all the most difficult days have always had something great happen at the end of them. every day that we have marked dates for baptisms has been a very difficult day with one good thing happening. but i love it and things are going good. but i love you and i will pray for juston a ton, because he really needs it. but i love you and hope everything is going good. o evangelho é verdadeiro.
