Dear Family,

Hello.  Things are going a little better this week. A lady called us up Saturday night and said she we would like to be baptized.  The funny thing was that we had thought she was already a member because she has been coming to church every Sunday and we go to their house every Thursday for lunch. So Sunday I had the opportunity to baptize her. I had a hard time getting her name down, it was almost a whole sentence. We are teaching a family (attempting) we teach the husband and the wife, but the kids usually will run away from us. It was funny a couple nights ago- we were teaching them and one of the kids (his name is Felipe) he acted as if he was leaving the house. He went out through the front door and climbed back in his room window. I thought to myself- oh No One messes with the Master. I knew exactly what he had done! I decided to go talk to him. His face was shocked that I had found out his master plan of running away from us. But it was good he actually realized that we were pretty cool. So it went well. We want the whole family to be baptized at the same time. Its hard to get the kids in because the parents want us to be the parents. I'm glad mom and dad you didnt allow me to do whatever I wanted even if I didnt really agree. That was the event of our week.

Its good to hear that Byu is in the sweet sixteen.I wouldn't be suprised if they took it all because I'm gone, you know! Its weird to think of cold because that doesn't exist here in Brazil. I guess I get a taste of it while taking a shower, but that actually feels good.

Well I have some things I would like to load and send because I think that it's someone's Birthday? could it be? i dont know.

Love you all very much.

Hey  Family

 Thanks for the email. Yes I think you should get a dog. I could send one over from here their are plenty of wild dogs that just roam around the street here. It's actually kinda sad. Well it is neat to see how the rest of my friends are doing. It looks like me and Jonny are kind of in the same living conditions except we actually have a washer.

This email may be short. I'm going to try to send another video. This one is a bit longer and I needed cut it up a bit so I could send it. I'm a weirdo I know. This week was good we had a baptism. She is a very cool person.  She quit smoking. So she could get baptized. It was very awesome!

A couple of nights ago we had an opportunity to have a family night at a members home with two families that are getting baptised in a couple of weeks. We watched the Testament. It was a very spiritual experience. Almost everyone was crying afterwords and we explained to them how the Bible and the Book of Mormon really do work together. It makes sense if people would actually listen, haha. I didn't really realize until afterwards, that man that was a really cool experience.

 Well i emailed Jake, but i havent recieved a response. I really want him to do well! I remember when I was at the same point.  Just tell him that there are plenty of fish in the sea. Your hard work will pay off.

I'm going to load that movie now. I love you all very much. Janie a dog walking business is a very very bright idea. You are very smart!
