Your not fat, your just heavy!...April 20, 2009

Família!!!
como voces estão? pergunta?, whats up with all of the weight questions? michael and dallin. no. i haven't gained:) okay just a little, but that was back in the ctm. here in the field i have stayed the same. i don't know how because i am eating a ton more, but i am also walking a ton more to. i need a step counting just to know how much i am walking, because it is a ton. in pounds i don't know what i weigh because here they use the metric system. but i weigh 61 kilos. feel free to do a conversion:)
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! FOR THE SHOES!!!!!!!!!!!! I received my pacote the other day, i think it was quinta (thursday). and guess what, it was checked for !.. pretty funny huh:) i don't think any thing is missing, because they just made a slit in the package to look inside. and the shoes are way nice! thank you so much!!! you guys are awesome! you really didn't have to send shoes, but i am very grateful! thank you so much!!!! and i loved all the sticky notes!
so on saturday we baptized a brother and sister. Amanda and Alison (alison is the boy:) they have 9 and 10 yrs. it's funny, basically there entire road is baptized now and i have baptized half of them. it was really cool! and on sunday we baptized a woman named Helena! it was really cool!!! i am sending pics of them, also of the other two young men from last week.
so yesterday was terrible! we were at chruch (the first ward in the morning) and the bishop from the other ward (our ward) wanted to talk to us. so we went to his office and there was him his counselor the ward mission leader (bishops brother) and his assistante( nino, that one member that is really crappy and doesn't like us). to talk about moving baptizing to saturday. right off the bat nino started to basically yell at us saying that we were only baptizing for numbers and a bunch of other crap, that we don' t care about the ward at all, and it was lucky all this was in portugues because if it was in english i would have given him a mouth full. and then the bishop started with basically the same stuff. so we told them we can't move it and he has to talk to presidente, and then we left. and then after the first ward nino started to yell at us again and left calling us trashy missionaries and other stuff.... but in fim, the bishop called the pres of the mish and we will baptize on both days, or basically it depends which day is better for the investigator. so now i don't know how we are going to work with the ward mission leaders assistant because i don't even want to talk to him anymore. but life goes on neh? so that was my big stressful experience for this week. and the best part was all that happened right before sacrament meeting so we had to go to the meeting all flustered and ticked off. but now all is good. we are just going to move forward and hope the lord will continue to bless us.
so i took out some money to start a wedding for two of our investigators. we are going to get them married and then baptized!!! they are really cool! and i really hope i don't get transferred because i want to be here for the baptism.
7 mezes!!!! cray huh. already 7 months. man it is passing freakin fast. oh, so we had a conference with the pres. and he said something really interesant. i don't remember who he quoted but he said every time you bear your testimony you are forgiven of your sins! how cool is that! our Father in Heaven is so good to forgive us so easily. so on fast sunday, and every moment you can, bear testimony! not only because of this reason but because testimonies are extremely powerful!!!
so yeah the shirt is destroyed, so i will take pic and send it to you next week. thanks for all mom and dad!!!!!
