hey everyone. thanks for the emails. it was splendid to hear from you all. splendid. what a good word choice.
anywho. so this week was a little more...chill. at least there weren´t any guns in our faces or anything like that.
scripture: D&C 88: 124 - 126 i don´t agree with the parts about sleeping. i follow it, because it is scripture and all. but i don´t like it.
MOM!!!!!!! i am so sorry. i wrote in my planner and in my journal about your birthday, but i forgot to write it in the email. i felt horrible. i wanted to wish you a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY! it is late, but i sang horribly just so you know. I LOVE YOU!!!
that was really rough to hear about David Wayne. it was something that i wasn´t expecting or wanting to hear. jake´s letter said that david was improving greatly. maybe after their family reunion, it was just his time. maybe that was just something that the family needed...those last memories of him. but i am glad to hear that his testimony was strong. i am going to miss him. give the family my best and i will pray for them.
my interview with president was good. he is a good guy. he gave me a blessing and that was way powerful.
i got the USB drive. but it will be a while before i see Barros probably. and i am not going to send it before he pays. lol
i have been rotating the two pairs of shoes and i will be conditioning them soon. i think i will let you know if and when i need a new pair.
but for now, i will keep going with these ones.
that sounds like the storms are really tearing it up there. are you guys okay? anything bad happening to the house?? it sounds like mom has been busy with the remodeling. do i really have to move out of my room?? i am already used to the blistering heat when i am sleeping.
maybe i can just stay there and it won´t be too rough to get used to?
i like my room...it is a special room. haha
i was way concerned about lauren. is everything okay? has she gone to the hospital?? are you okay lauren?! you can´t just tell me that there was a bad car accident and leave me hanging! that scares me.
sounds like morgan and stu are doing good. and morgan...you are much more important than strangers, potted plants, or chopped liver. :) but how am i supposed to end an email?! i thought that was a loving and encouraging way to get you pumped to have a good summer and be awesome. jackson scott is a tight name. i am proud of your choice. i was gunna name my kid jackson or jaxon. but now i don´t know. and i am glad that the missionaries helped with the move. we have a service project tomorrow. super excited. and don´t worry...you are going to be amazing parents. :)
it sounds like blake and dad had a blast with the fishing...and that the monsoons are hitting all of the good ole USA. tempe dam burst?
crazy/gross.
well some great news this week. carol was baptized. she asked me if i could baptize her on saturday, so we had the interview and she was ready. so on sunday we had her baptism. it was way special. we had 4 investigators there, too. her parents - Renato and Cassia - and Antonia and Fernanda. they all have baptism dates, as well. and at least 3 are firm investigators. we had 13 investigators at church.
elders crosbie and sorenson had 8. overall, we had 21 in church on sunday. that was a record since this ward has been opened. the members were so psyched. especially the gospel principles teacher. of the 13, Soraya, Cassia, Renato, Antonia, Fernanda, Luiz (our jehovah´s witness investigator), Elton, Fabio, and Claudia have potential baptism dates.
Carol was the first of her family. We will see what this weekend brings. but we also have Junior and Mariele that are preparing as well, but that will delay a little more. overall, great week. tons of work.
this transfer went so quick. it is the last week of the transfer.
h-man will be heading home. i am way sad. the first time that i am legitimately sad for losing a comp. now i will have to see who the newbie will be. he got his last brazilian haircut today! what a lucky guy. i am counting the haircuts down until i can have lauren cut my hair. today wasn´t SO awful. but lauren can definitely do better.
um well we are working lots. and i am loving it. i am tired. but we are seeing some results. we are teaching some very intelligent people.
we are just hoping that they will receive answers and recognize the answers that God is giving them.
well we are gunna head to a churrascaria. we gotta eat good for h-man´s last p-day lunch. love you guys!! stay safe...and stay away from storms. i will stay away from guys with guns. love you all. till next week!
