Update from Brazil...

Here's the latest from our missionary:
Oí família We baptized again this week! We baptized the son of Lucelena who was baptized 2 weeks ago, his name is marco. This week also i was on a division all week with elder clemens. He is an assistant to the president and it was fun being with him. He is from iowa and he has a wicked american accent when we talks in portuguese. Sometimes it makes me kringe but i don´t know how he does it because he has the second most baptisms in the mission. This week we also did something really fun. To announce the activity we had at the church we all went to some of the schools close to the church. Elder clemens and i spoke in english and elder deboer and enlder souza translated. Elder souza didn´t really translate because he doesn´t know english he just announced the activity. We acted like we just got here yesterday and we knew absolutly no portuguese. Everyone was all excited two americans were in their class and the `english´ teachers didn´t know what the crap we were saying, it was pretty funny.But we had almost 50 investigators at church this week which was awesome! Also this week something else happened..... I got transferred. Today I´m headed back to goias to a city called anâpolis. Anâpolis has the world record for number of churches in one city. I´ll be comps with another brazilian but i forgot his name right now. It will be fun, this city baptizes a ton of people every month.Thanks for all the happy birthday´s. I´m already 20... wow.I better get going I have another 7-8 hours on the bus in front of me.Até mais!Elder Lewis

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!
