from Brazil...

Here's the latest from our missionary. Looks like I better be shoe shopping soon!

Oí família
This week was a good week, we baptized again! The picture it not very good, he looks like a prisoner. But he´s a good kid and we also re activated two of his younger brothers that were baptized a while ago. His name is Paulo Henrique and he´s 19 and we´re helping him out so that he can go on a mission in a year. The other pic is a little stream we found going to a reference. The river is bigger in other parts of our area because peole are always talking about fishing at the river. But this is the part we came across the other day. Most of our area is not paved roads, as you can see from my shoes. Everyday we have tons of dust all over our shoes. My last area was the same way too. This morning was a bummer. An investigator agreed to get married and everything, but when we got to the center where we met her, she lost all of her documents. She left her folder in the bus and who knows where it is now. Somehow she has to get all the stuff back because she really wants to get baptized but she has to get married first. Satan is one smart guy, she has a big desire to get baptized but without papers we can´t do anything. Nothing really exciting happened this week. I gave a talk again in church, with about 10 min notice, this has happened many times these past months.Since you want to know a little more about my area here you go. My area is really big, it takes over an hour to walk form one side to the other. It also has alot of hills. It is a poor area with no roads and alot of drug dealers. One member knows how to make pizza american style and it is deliciuos. Pizza brazilian stlye is absolutly disgusting. A river passes through our area. We live on top of a supermarket. Thats about it. Anymore questions? See you all later. Tchau Elder Lewis

He lives on top a supermarket? That should be interesting. At least it's not a far walk for food :)

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!
