Hey Fam!
Well we had another great week here in the worlds best mission.
These weeks are so long and pass by so fast that I just don't even remember what has happened.
I will try and remember a few highlights.

Earlier this week we had a difficulty with a missionary in the zone that is pretty upset about life, so we had to do a rescue mission for him. We had splits with them and he is a new american that is having a really hard time in the mission, so I spent the day with him trying to get him refocused on the work. I spent all day just trying to break his shell and make him happy and laugh a little because he is having a lot of problems with depression. Finally at the end of the day I opened him up a little bit and he started smiling. Then at night when we got home we sat down and had some serious time. We had some spiritual moments when I could really feel the spirit guiding my words to help and encourage him. I tried to help him feel the love of Christ and I think our conversation went really well.
The rest of the week was great. I really like my new comp. I swear he is the Brazilian version of Austin. I am always telling him stories about Austin and all the things we did together.  This week we had a lot of mini miracles, we met a lot of people that have a lot of potential. We will have a baptism this week! Her name is Diana. She was a great miracle. She moved in with a member family and when we were teaching her she just popped out and says that she wants to be baptized. So that was a great blessing that God gave us this week. I will let you know how it works out next week!
The work seems like it is going pretty good. We are working hard, but these last few weeks have been a little rough with everyone traveling and burning hot sun. Everyday it is about 30 or 35 degrees Celsius. I don't know how it is in Fahrenheit but it is freakin' hot.
To finish up; we are working hard and God is pouring blessings upon us. Life is great and time is flying by! This week has been really spiritual for me and I hope that we can all keep having spiritual experiences in 2017!!!!
Love you!
