Hello All

My Dear Friends and Family!

How are you? This week has been great. It really is flying by. Today our zone spent yet another day on the Islha da bororre. The 1st time  was cool. The 2nd time was cool. The 3rd time more or less. but the 4th time! The 4th time means I have been in this zone for way too long and this zone has nothing neat to do on pday. But thats ok! Next week we are going to t he temple. And I have never been so excited to go to the temple and I think its because I have never passed so much time without going to the temple. How great is is that I stayed in the same zone, the only zone who hasnt gone yet?

Im still loving my companion and learning so much about helping people make commitments. We have three people marked for baptism and have a couple others in the lew for this week. We have a baptism this week. Jasmin! shes only 11 but  her sister is a  less active member and her cousin is a member in our ward. Shes reading and marking the book of mormon every day. She invited her other cousin to go to church this last sunday and coincidently the elders had already taught this cousin. They are reading and praying together and the elders in our ward so grasciously allowed us to teach the cousin as well! Even though she lives in their side of the ward.

We had really great experiences this week with our lessons. I wish I had a lot of time to write but one day you can read my journal for the full edition.

We passed by the home of an eternal investgator the other night. He daughter is already baptized and she is amazing. She is already a member minus the whole baptism part. She cant quit smoking but when it came time to leave a message sister riberio looked at me for a scripture I flipped through book of mormon and felt inclined to read ether 12. But I shrugged it off for a moment because I love ether 12 and its my decoy scripture. Then sister ribeiro said ether 12? Aha! so it was the spirit. It was  one of those moments where I had no idea what I was saying it was just warmth. Afterward we makred her again for the 17th pf this month. Shes soo soo great. I hope with all my heart she can quit smoking to be baptized. She  deserves it.

I was  thinking this week about how great it is to have the gospel in my life. I dont have one doubt. I am completly at peace. i dont know what my future holds I am so far from having the most impotant tgings settled ie: husband, job etc but I have the gosepl. I  dont need to worry. God will guide me, hell take care of me.  That is the message so many missionaries are trying to bring the world. Just happiness. Thats the message we bring. Its not any easy life by any means but what life is easy? You might as well be working hard for the right things. Because when it comes down to it everyone one in the world puts their faith in something, why not put your faith into the one who can bring you etrnal joy? This is the church of Jesus Christ. I am so happy to represent him.

Dont forget to do your part! Help the missionaries, or help yourself  with your testimony,  do what you need to do to use the atonement of christ! I love you all and I am so grateful for you all in my life. Sometimes I cant believe how blessed I really am!
