hello fam. how is todo mundo? eu estou muito bem e animado!oh in english, I am awsome, this week passed by like crazy with its ups and downs and all arounds and everything else in between, but Saturday was awsome we had the baptism for Izabella, Natalia and Adria. I was able to baptize Izabella and Natalia which was very neat. oh want to hear something bacana(awsome), Edna, who I got to baptize last month had given me the address of her two daughters who live in another area, I gave the address to the other Elders and they started to teach the family. This Saturday all of them were baptized as well, her two daughters, son in law and her five grandchildren. it is so cool, because of Edna almost 15 people in her family and friends have been baptized, she really is the definition of a missionary, she talks to everyone about how the gospel changed her life, she amazes me, she is such an example for her family. we visited her yesterday and she told me how happy she felt with her family being baptized, she said now all she has to do is work with her husband and baptize him. her husband is a really neat guy, when i first arrived here he wouldnīt even talk to us and said that he would never go to church, since iīve been here he has gone to church twice, he has gone to all of the baptisms and almost all of the church activities with Edna, I know the change he is indergoing is because of the example of Edna. yesterday i found out that i will be transfered. I have been here for three months and when I found out that Iam leaving Ifelt so sad because of all of the amazing people I have met. when we went to visit Edna i started to tear up a bit, but donīt tell anyone cuase iīm big and strong, but i have such a strong connection with her and her family, it will be really hard to leave but i know that the lord will put me were i am needed. oh on wednesday i sang happy birthday to myself and ate some cake in remembrance of my lil sis, Happy birthday again!!!!! anyways, what else is new, i havnīt recieved the box or letter yet but it will arrive soon, donīt worry. well i hope everything is going swell, thanks for the e-mails. i want you to know that i know with all my heart that my Savior Jesus Christ lives and that this is his Church. I know that through the Gospel we can find happiness and that our family can live together for all eternity through the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I love all of you
