from our missionary...

Here's the latest from Brazil and also a challenge to all of us!

Oí familia - Hey we baptized again! We baptized Luan and he´s 11 and he is one of the kids that asked us to be baptized.(Blessings from God) some others asked us if they could be baptized and we´ll baptize Cecilia next week. We don´t baptize at our church, we have to go to the stake center in the center of the city to baptize. Cecilia, who we´ll baptize next week, has learned tons of stuff already. It´s crazy because we haven´t taught alot of stuff to her yet but she already knows from reading the book of mormon, and remembering. Memory seems to be a nationwide fault here in Brasil. But it´s all good. We also had a conference with President Tobias the week which was good. We learned alot about leadership skills and acccomplishing our goals. We want to beat the missions in northeast brazil. The missions up there baptize a TON every month and we want those numbers down here in the central part. Sister Tobias also talked alot about health because it´s winter now and she doesn´t want anyone to get sick. It´s still warm here though. Arizona´s winters are alot colder. It gets cold for about 2 days a week and then back to warm. Cold is about 60 degrees and warm is about 85. But conference was good. President was playing with us at the end because he is going to have his 3rd baptism next week and he doesn´t do any tracting or anything like that. So you guys at home can still baptize people while not doing missionary `work´, but just talking to people that walk by you or you come across. That´s about it for my week so if you have any more questions just ask. Tchau Elder Lewis
