from Brazil...

Hello family,

This week it finally rained!!! It was getting hot and it finally rained a cold rain and it helped out with the dust and heat. This week was one of the best weeks we had at church, we had a big attendence and a bunch of in actives we were working with in reactivation. Nothing to grand happened this week. President tobias is trunky, he only has 3 more weeks left. Today we did a deep clean on the house, it was needing it. We are working really hard here and we are working really hard to have a baptism next week. The weather is awesome right now, how is it there? That´s about it. The world cup starts this week and working here is going to be REALLY hard for people to listen to us. Trent got lucky and won´t have the world cup during his mission. It really will be a big problem for us. But we will work through it and it will all be good. And yes i did get the package of candy, thx mom. Well good that nothing bad happened at home and that you guys had a good week. Are there any other packages on the way? Is anyone going to do anything for summer break? What grades are kristin´s kids going into this year? That´s about it, you guys should watch the world cup to see if brazil wins. Brazil is like the yankees in baseball, they have won more world cups than any other country. See You all later. Tchau!! ELder Lewis

Chocolate covered strawberries!

I've been wanting to post this for a while but haven't got around to it. Trent has been working on perfecting his chocolate covered strawberry skills!

His squiggling skills are getting better!

Wow!!They not only looked good they tasted good too!

And why did he make these?!? He had to brings treats to a party! Way to go Trent!
(and if anyone is interested in the recipe it is on our cooking blog!)

Hello

I sent pics of the baptisms we had this week and also a pic of goiania and some other missionaries in my group, there´s just one missing because he is in another state. We finally got our visas renewed and now i´m legal in the country again. It was really trunky because we are all friends from the mtc and we went to the airport to renew the visas. It looked way different than the first time i was there. Then of course it was a long time ago and everything was new to my head and strange. But now it is just a short time till we return! hehe. This week was a good week nothing bad happened and we baptized!! But the weather is starting to cool down and the early morning showers are slowly getting colder and colder. But everything is good. President Prieto gets here 11:10 a.m. on june 30th. When we renewed our visas we went to the office and ate lunch and his flight was posted on the wall. Heres a pic of the office doors, you can see a little bit inside but i forgot to take more pics inside. This was only my second time in the office after our first days in the field. That´s about it see you all later. Elder Lewis

We baptized agian! Their names are Rosemar and Antonia. We baptized two old people but they are way excited and have tons of energy.

Friends...

We are so grateful for good friends!!! Here are some that came over this weekend and I just had to take pictures!!

Trent and his friend Adam... they have been friends since they were little boys.

Bonnie and me... we have been friends for many years and got to be friends when we served in the Primary presidency.

Quentin, Trent and Nick... aren't they cute! These guys are definitely manly men! Here they are getting ready to go to the river!

We had a fun weekend with family and friends! Thanks everyone!

Temple!

It's VERY hard to believe that my BABY just went to the temple last night! But just like when the other kids went it was an AWESOME experience!

All ready to go!

Coming out of the temple.

Time for a few family pics

2 of his sisters

The manly photo!

After being spiritually fed we had to feed our tummies... so off to Olive Garden.

Does this guy look happy or what!?!

A BIG thanks to family and friends that came and shared this experience with Trent! We love ya!

From Brazil...

Here's the latest from Brazil... One of the questions I asked him was if Brazil had chocolate chips and strawberries cuz Trent likes to make chocolate covered strawberries.... I'm glad I don't live in Brazil... not enough chocolate there!

Hey everyone,

This week was a good week, we taught a ton of lessons and we closed two baptisms for this weekend. The weather is good. It has been cooler this week but not too cold. We are working really hard and we´re trying to mfind the elects. Nothing too exciting happened this week. Mom asked some questions and now i´ll answer them. No, we don´t get to go to the temple. The temple is a 14 hour bus trip from here. Chocolate chips don´t exsist here but there are chocoloate bars he can use. Strawberries are really hard to find but i have come across a couple times. São paulo should have them. That´s about it this week. Hopefully i´ll have more to say next week. See you later. Elder Lewis
