February 23, 2016- What a week!

Hey All! 

Another week has gone by here in great big Sapopemba! Time is really something that seems so inconsistent.  The hours are long but the days are short and the weeks are flying by!  I cant believe we are already halfway through this transfer.  We are 2 newbies in the mission but we are learning fast!  I really am so much happier now than I was last month. I have a lot more stress and responsibilities, but we are working, and that makes me happy! We are teaching a lot of people and we are pretty close to sealing the deal on a lot of them.  But then something always happens, or they don't show up at church.  It's tough but we can do it. 

We have Luana who is super cool she has a testimony strong and is totally ready, but her boyfriend who is a member lives in the US and she wants to be baptized there, but shes not going there until the middle April. So we are trying to help her understand that Heavenly Father wants her baptized as soon as she is ready, because we can only work with her one hour per day but Satan is working 23 hours a day. 

Edson is another almost Elect. He is great and should be baptized here in a few weeks, but he works a lot so its super hard to get him to church. We also have Maria, Fransisca, Cida, Poliana, Fabiano, Ana who are pretty good they are just waiting on a strong response and understand the importance of progressing. 

You are totally right mom I feel like high school is a distant memory, seems like forever ago. Time is flying by, I can't believe it has been almost 5 months! 

I love hearing about everything at home so just keep doing what your doing. But don't leave me uninformed I want to know about everything-health problems and all. I can't pray for something specific if I don't know. 

That's great what the boys did for Owen.  I hope he starts getting a little better. 

It has been a week since I emailed you and a weeks worth of rain showers!  Seriously it rains like I have never seen here. I'm talking ripping tin off of roofs, and wading through the water up to my knees rain. 

I am running out of time so until next time LOVE YOU. TCHAU!  Te Amo.

Mom, I can't wait till we come back to Brasil and you can see some of my areas!
