This week was great except for I
don´t remember anything that happened--hah--it´s so easy for everything
to kind of blend into one big ball.
Hey--I finally got a computer
to work to send some pictures--they downloaded reeeeeally slow so here
are only a few--I´ve got a bunch!
I hope you are all
have a great Christmas season bundled around the fire with Christmas
trees and all---here in Brasil everyone is sweating and there´s only
fires to cook some delicious meat--churrascaria--we cooked the meat
yesterday after church at a member´s home and then our church clothes
smelt like campfire---I LOVE THAT SMELL---it made me feel like I was
fishing in the Uintahs or in the ampitheater or on a camping trip with
the scouts or something---it was a good memory moment!
This week---not a
single one of our families came to church again---HOW CAN YOU BE
BAPTIZED IF YOU DON´T COME TO CHURCH?? How can your testimony improve if
you don´t come to church? For those of you that think church is boring,
say a prayer, ask for a change of attitude and realize that there has
never been a boring three hours of church in the history of the church
as long as the sacrament is present and you partake worthily. You are
there at church to 1) Take the sacrament 2) Help, strengthen and support
others 3) Be edified and strengthened yourself through the Spirit and
the words and examples of others 4) Strengthen the great ward family
that your are a part of (or branch that is)!
This week Elder Santos
and Elder Correia batized a 73 year old woman named Carmosina and her
daughter--}Sonia!! I am pretty good friends with the both of them
and had the great opportunity to share with them how the Holy Ghost
works and that they are greatly blessed to be baptized and receive the
Gift of Fire and congratulated them for their great achievement. We even
bought them a delicious box of chocolates!!
Before the baptism I cleaned the font and the upstairs of
the church with a boatload of water, soap and a broom in my barefeet and
my church clothes--it was a blast and I was sweating a bunch!
Ahh--what--the owner
of the store says that we have to leave--okay I guess we´re going to
another computer store. Tchau. Love you.
