Year One, Letter Thirty Eight

olaaa

hey everyone. so how is everyone doing? busy busy? what has been going
on in everyone´s lives?

um favorite scripture? D&C 88: 81 - 85

so elder da silva left yesterday. i stayed with two elders in my
house. it was pouring, so i cleaned our house big time for the new
elder to get here. it was disgusting. it hasn´t been deep cleaned for
like 2 years. DISGUSTING. but now i did most of the tough work. my new
companion is elder santana. he gets here in a couple hours. i don´t
know anything about him. i am senior companion now. he has been on the
mission for about 3 months from what i have heard. i guess i will find
out later. i am only using internet for 20 minutes or so today because
when he gets here, i will have to take him to the lan house to write
his family. so i will just use it later on today. but i will find out
a little about him. i don´t plan on working him to death, but he is
gunna have a wake up call. ourinhos is one of the bigger (-est) areas
in the mission, so he will get to walk. a lot.

hey mom, if you haven´t sent that package yet, could you send a USB
memory card with it? i don´t know how to say it. a pen drive? just a
USB stick. that would be great.

this past weekend sucked. on saturday we called regina to set up her
baptismal interview. she just told me that she didn´t want to be
baptized anymore. meaning that she won´t allow mateus or michael to go
to church. she said that the people in church don´t have any joy. she
said that church shouldn´t be so quiet. i asked her what she thought
reverence and respect had in common and how we are respecting jesus
christ with our reverence. she said that wouldn´t go back to this
church and that she wouldn´t be baptized. she changed from day to
night. completely changed to a different person. the bishop is
convinced that it is because of an inactive member that went one night
to our activity at church and regina was there and he knew her. he was
talking a bunch with bishop asking about her. so, bishop thinks they
had a problem in the past. he is gunna let me know this week. sad. and
the majority of our other investigators have been cut. so, i will be
starting over in ourinhos and moving to another part of the city to
start working in that area. it will be a tough start. i appreciate the
prayers.

what happened to tara to make her get a brain tumor?? what are they
gunna do for the treatment? and yeah, i went with tara on the mutual
date that the ward set up. jake and emily buckhannon were there as the
other couple. lol wow long time ago. but yes, i will keep her in my
prayers.

you guys almost done with the office? that will be cool. one more
project will start right after i am guessing? lol

the suns got smoked huh? will they play again tonight? i hope that
they will have success. they can´t get destroyed by the lakers. that
would suck. and blake can´t watch the games in sports bars. that isn´t
allowed. evite aparência do mal, blake.

and dad i will try to avoid getting throw in pits, prisons, caves, or
furnaces. for now at least. but i might have to start going to drastic
means to get these investigators to go to church...

well i don´t really have much to report. it is getting kinda cold.
ingrown nails are still annoying but whatever. we have officially
started the last transfer of president leal´s mission. he will go home
on june 30th. and is very last talk? will be in my ward in ourinhos.
so i have to get a ton of investigators there. lol this will be
awesome. i am excited and nervous to be senior companion. it will be
tough. but i will definitely turn to the Lord in all things. i will
need it..

i will be on a little later today. i hope you guys are all doing
awesome. i love you all so much. keep on in the straight and narrow.
stay strong in your faith and always strive to build your testimony. i
love you!

tchau!
