Weekly Letter

Olá Família,

    This week was really good. We have been trying to make the best of the sun. We have started to use sunscreen, but it doesnt´´t seem to work really well because we end up sweating it off. We have been finding a lot of people and trying our hardest to find the people with interest. We also were able to baptize Helena Sunday. We have been teaching her for some time, and she works a lot. Also she doesn´t have a phone so we basically have to play a big guessing game, when she will be home. She has struggled with coffee and smoking, but she comprehended the lessons, and knew she wanted to be baptized. The first baptismal date we marked for her passed by and we decided to give a lesson reviewing the baptismal interview questions. She passed all of them except for the word of wisdom. So we told her that she knew what she had to do and that except for these few things she was ready. Elder Jones asked her when she wanted to be baptized and she marked the date and hour. We found her twice this week and were happy to find out that she had stopped with everything and was just waiting to be baptized now. haha. It was amazing to see that after after one week straight of knocking doors, and talking to people on the road, finally we found someone that was ready. Helena has 3 sons, so we will start to work on them now too. We also had 2 investigators in church with us too, who were friends of a less active youth that we are reactivating. It is funny because we are working a lot, the best ways that we can and trying to do better every day, only after can we see the blessings of missionary work. We did receive transfers, but we will be staying together one more! I am excited to work more 6 weeks here, even though you start to melt after 15 minutes in the sun. And summer hasn´t even `´started yet.`´ I am glad to hear that everything is going well at home and excited to talk to some of you on Christmas. I will let you know what hour next week, because we haven´t planned it out yet.  But should be afternoon or night. haha. Love ya!
