6/7

Hey everyone! Well the good news is, we had another baptism. She is an elderly lady, who is sick and cant walk. It was interesting getting her there, and it took 2 people to baptize her. The spirit was really strong there, and we had a ton of member support, it was really awesome! We are teaching a 12 year-old boy right now, he has been coming to church, and going to all the activities. He really wants to get baptize but he needs support from his family. His parents are married, which is a miracle in itself, so we are really praying hard to be able to teach and baptize the entire family. They have taken the lessons once before, and been to church once, maybe they are prepared this time around, but were really excited about them. We also need to find new investigators this week. Lucky for me, the members are absolutely amazing here, and we recieve a million refference/ everyone brings their friends to church. Although it is a lot of work sorting out which people are interested and ready for the gospel, which people just want to hear about Jesus, and which people just think its cool to have an American in their house and they can learn random english words like ^trash' and 'lollipop'.
A new goal of mine is to learn to cook just about everything here. Today Im learning how to make Brazilian brownies, (they juast call them brownies, but they are not american brownies.) And I was supposed to learn how to make cus cus, but itdidnt work out. Its hard because my comp does know how/hates cooking, so I keep asking the members to help me, and we have a serious communication barrier. So they cant give me a recipe or explain, they have to show me. Well...Ill get it down eventually. In other news we have hot water. Did I tell you that already? Sorry, its just really exciting. Next week is transfers, and I dont even want to think about whats going to happen. Im afraid im going senior, but I pray everyday that I dont. Not yet at elast, maybe next transfer. Ideally, Ill just stay junioe my whole mission :) Haha, no, its all good, the Lord knows what He is doing.
I love Brazil, the people are amazing, the food is delicious, and Im halfway to being fluent in a foreign language, which is totally blogin my mind. Im sorry to anyone who has written, and not recieved a return letter, I havent recieved any mail in a long time, and we all need to be very patient with the mail system here. But Thank you for all your support! Keep writing, I love to hear from everyone! I love you tons and tons and miss you more!
Um abraço
