More from Brazil...

Here's the latest from Brazil... This is the first time he mentioned he was sick so I immediately googled dangue which is actually dengue fever which is contracted in the tropics and sounds really YUK! I hope he is completely healed and of course I will ask him more about it next week!

Hello everyone,
This week was a good week because we had a baptism and what else is better than that. This week was transfers but elder wride and i stayed the same. Elders who come to this area usually stay here for a while. This week we were contacting all of the less active members and we came across this sweet statue. Most of the people have moved away though. This week i also got a little sick, but i´m better now. I got dangue but we got it all taken care of. I also gave a talk on sunday with nothing prepared but it wasn´t too bad, i talked for 12 minutes about missionary work and following the spirit. I don´t like giving talks but in this branch the missionaries talk at least one time a month. Last time mom gave a talk was way before my mission so good luck to her this sunday. The pics of trent shooting were really cool, i can´t wait to go shooting again. That´s about it for this week. We´ll have a baptism next week and another on the 7th. We found a member who has a son that hasn´t been baptized yet and he´ll be baptized on the 7th. My reponsability in the branch mostly is to take care of the tithing. But we also have to organize all the meetings that haven´t been happening so that we can have a little more organization here. We still eat with the members like normal missionaries. Any other questions? See you all later.



We had a baptism this week!!! Wanderson has been waiting 4 years to be baptized and president finally let him get baptized this month. We also found a huge statue of some catholic dude. This thing is like twice the size of the christ on top of the mountain! Elder Wride passed his 6 month aniversary this week so we ate pizza to celebrate. The girl in the pizza pic is gonna to be baptized this week. She has also been waiting a long time to be baptized. She met the missionaries when she was almost 14 but her mom never let her baptize, she turned 18 this week and now she can make her own decisions.

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!
