This is for Two Weeks.

This is for two weeks!

OI Meus Queridos!

     Haha well this week was really awesome just like all the weeks in the mission! We had exchanges with the zone leaders and I absolutely adore these guys! They are like little kids in these giant hulking bodies. They look like their 25 but, act like they´re 10. They are also absolutely AMAZING missionaries. I really learned how to help a person accept being baptized without even talking about baptism ;). 

     A little more about my area. So, in Barcarena, they have these guys that are paid to drive around with giant stereos blasting just the most RIDICULOUSLY ANNOYING music. And its in Portuguese so I don't understand it.  I am speaking a lot of Portuguese but I have opportunities to speak English. 

     We are watching the best two years today! taking a break and relaxing. I love Elder Belo - my trainer - he helps me a lot. 

    I have only a little bit of time! Happy Easter! General Conference is awesome and excited to hopefully understand a little! Next week send me your favorite conference talk! We bought more time so I will talk about our service project this week! We went to the field of one of our investigators who is just begging to be baptized. Our service project is digging up stumps. My thoughts were, "I have an axe and a machete, how could my day get better!". Other than the overwhelming scorching heat, I was able to get in a couple of batting practice swings. If the Brazilian baseball team needs me, I'm ready! 

     I just want to testify about heartfelt prayer! This week was especially rough! But I realized the problem was part of our lack of faith. Not that we didn't hope for new investigators or working for new investigators, but we weren't PLANNING for new investigators! Pray truly about what you need to do and after you receive this revelation, write down your game plan! It truly works! We are receiving more and more investigators ready to act on the word not just receive it. Every person here has a church. And every church believes their pastor is a prophet, so we have changed our contacts to talk about what a prophet is! I love it! I love Thomas S. Monson and I know that we have 15 men who lead the church! The Book of Mormon is true!

Love you all!
