News and pics from Brazil!

Here's a few pics and excerpts from the latest from Brandon in Brazil!

Hey family,Here's some more pics of what i did this week. This week we did a service project and we helped an investigator build a wall. Everything here is built with those bricks that you see. Also, there´s no measuring involved, just lay the bricks down as strait as possible.
We also helped with the bithday party of the son of our bishop. Birthday parties for the first two years are really special occasions, then after, nothing special.
This week we also had a baptism but the pic won´t download for some reason. But we baptized a lady named Lecelena, and she is a middle aged lady that just accepted everything we said. She stoped drinking coffee in one day she reads the bom everyday and has a super strong testimony already. She also has a son that we will baptise this week ...But the kicker is the the drain broke and we had to empty the font with buckets. We had to do it twice because we found out it was broken when we went to fill up the font and it was already full. That was fun.
Then afterward, we went to our favorite spot to eat açaí. I don´t know if you can see it very well but it is like something you would buy at jamba juice.P-day... We can´t do anything on p-day! We can´t play sports, go to museums or anything like that, and we have to be wearing our missionary clothes. So on p-day we just go use the internet, go to the store to buy our food for the week and then just chill at home. Not anything exciting.
Comment from mom... I think Brandon looks great in his pictures!

About Me

My photo
Hi there everyone! I've noticed that a lot of people have a little life story on their blogs. So, always wanting to keep up with the latest BLOG trends, I've decided to put on a little blurb about my life for anyone that's interested. BUT, so no one is bored or has heard it all, I've put MY LIFE in ORIGINAL story form... Once upon a time there was a brown eyed girl, born of goodly parents, who set out on a journey. She traveled for a very VERY long time, through desert, mountains and forests and along the way she brought with her 6 wonderful treasures. But, alas, there were dark times, battles and dragons along the way, but she kept on going, with her treasures giving her strength and direction. Then in the desert, she met a blue eyed handsome prince, who had also been on a long long journey, and he had 2 treasures. So as you might have already guessed the ending.... the brown eyed girl and the blue eyed prince along with their treasures and a bunch more treasures, lived very happily ever after! Life is GOOD! It's party time now!
