hey pops.
i told my comp what you said about the thirty lessons in four or five months and he was amazed. he asked if you baptized anyone on your mission? i dont really know? did you? i thought you did, but im not sure... (Brad served his mission in Austria) sounds like things fell a little this week. i hope grandpas gonna be alright...ill keep him in my prayers. (Brad's father was supposed to leave this week to go on a mission to Nauvoo but he was diagnosed with cancer so it is postponed for a bit now...) and the sports world looks like its not lookin too hot too...kobe in a boot. nossa. well keep me posted on grandpa. and i cant believe that mikes coming home already! crazy. well

hey mommy!
how are things? well, here, things as a missionary are...wonderful. each week is a new adventure. things id never expect or do if i wasnt on the mish ha. well...for the questions...

How was your week? it was good

How is training AND being a LZ going? well...its actually kinda tough right now...i dont know exactly whats happening but were going through a rough patch...we'll figure it out....

How is it living with 4 guys? its good. a lot more crazy ha. i think i know why pres dosnt like it much...but its working out..i like them all...

How is your comp? hes doing well, more confident each day...

Is he a hard worker? yeah. well hes becoming one haha. no he is, but im making him work harder haha

How is your new ward? its good. this was the first week so i am starting to get to know the members...seems like a good ward...

How many investigators did you have at church on Sunday? not very many...just one...everyone we went to get for church was traveling...they forgot or something....i dunno...

How many referrals are you teaching? well...weve got quite a few..but we just teach the first lesson and we only go back if they accept a baptismal date....i told you that before right? well....not many accepted dates...ha

Anyone ready for baptism? we have one thats almost there, but he works a ton and its really hard to find him at home....

How is Evaraldo? (that was SO awesome about the blessing that ya'll gave him!!!) yeah it was...but infelizmente (unfortunately) he doesnt want to follow the truth yet. he doesnt want to stop smoking...i was really sad when we left there because his life could be so much better....but he doesnt want our help right now....maybe in the future... :/

Did you buy new shoes? (if so, how much were they?) yeah they were 60 reais...i dont know how long theyll last. they seem to be pretty good. ill get a good 2 or 3 months out of them haha

Did you ever find out where the other guys in your house are from? mato grosso do sul and sergipe. theyre good guys....wellllllllll...............i dont have too much to tell you this week, except we almost saw a guy die last night....just kidding...kinda...well he was super drunk and fell to the ground and stopped breathing for a good like 2 minutes. we gave him a blessing and a few seconds depois (after) he gasped for air and started breathing again. it was kinda scary, but the priesthood is real! im grateful for the restoration of all these things. and tell dad to tell his brother to give grandpa a blessing if they didnt already do so! love you all! tchau!
