Dear Family,

so i have some catching up to do because of last weeks "no" e-mail. Me and my comp are doing good. we have a baptism coming up on the 11th and hopefully another shortly after! we are currently teaching a family of 7. A mom and her 6 kids. 4 of the kids are over 8! so we are working hard and hoping and praying that all will work out with them so that they can get baptized soon. the oldest son, sergio, is totally solid! he liked church and really wants to know if the bom is true. and said he will definitely get baptized when he knows its true! so our next visit we want to give him a date to work towards. the mom, silvia, has to work on sundays, so we are trying to find a time with her for when she can come to church! but we are super excited for all of them.
oh, and last week, we were visiting a less active family and started talking about brazil. how my comp is going there, when the boy said, hey, i have a friend who is brazilian! No way!!! i said, where does he live!!? so right after our visit with them, we ran over to the house knocked on the door, and spent 45 min talking to the mom in Portugues!!!!!!!! it was so sick!!!!! i loved it!!!!! unfortunatley for me, i have totally lost my accent, but it was still so fun. and we have another visit tonight! so we are taking over a bom in portugues and it will be sweat!!!! you know what is funny, Marli, the mom, said she was going to hook me up with her niece, who lives in brasil! haha, yeah, i got a kick out of that.
so yes, my comp is still here, and i still continue to pray that he will get is visa soon. we are doing good though. my spanish continually gets better, and my portugues just kinda sits there and does nothing. and my english sucks! my comp is always correcting me. it's not as bad as it was when i was in brasil, but it isn't that great either.
well, i'm out of stuff to write,soooo.... i hope you all have a great week! thanks for the e-mails and for everything!! I love you all!!!!! the Church is true!!! the Book of Mormon is true!!!!! I challenge you all to talk to some one about the gospel and then see the blessing that come from it!!!!!! Amo Voces!!!
