we baptized!! M. . . . is the daughter of an older couple in the

we found them. But we have successfully re-activated the family and now
baptized the oldest daughter (M.) I’ll send pics. She is
pregnant, and it’s a high risk pregnancy, so the baptism was a little awkward.

out, and it was a spiritual moment. :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

has been coming to church by himself for four weeks now, and he is so ready to
be baptized. Hopefully, President will see that, too and we can baptize him
this Sunday.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

never wants to get baptized). I told him I wanted to see his baptism, before I

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">We were supposed to have a baptism
this week, but President said he needed to wait a little but more to be
baptized. It was sad, because he really wants to starts over and become a
member of the church, but it’s probably the right thing to do.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

since we have been teaching him we have flushed his weed and alcohol down the
toilet, and this Sunday he showed up by himself at church at 7:30 . . . because
he wanted to get there early "to talk to God." He’s a great guy . . .
and hopefully before I go home I get to see his baptism.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Well, I’m

Well, this week we baptized!!! Again! Her name
is J. She’s a young woman that’s been going to church for a while
now and seminary, too. We taught her a few times off-and-on, but her mom is
really strong in another church and she didn’t want to let her be baptized . .
. But Thursday, we did a division with a member. Elder Bell went with the
member, and me and Elder Frame (our new comp) went to talk to J’s mom. When we got there they were a little closed off, but we got them to warm
up to us. ha We found [out] that the pastor of the other church had said a ton
of bad stuff about our church and so we explained a ton of things and then talked
about baptism. After about an hour the mom signed the "ficha
batismal" [permission?] (I don’t know how to say it in English) and said
she would be happy to support her daughter! :) <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="yiv3401051887msonormal">
On Sunday the whole family went to watch J’s baptism and they loved church, too. And now we have an appointment to teach
them on Wednesday! <o:p></o:p></div>

I think 200 should be fine. The only weird "bag" I’m bringing home is
my guitar. And I know lots of missionaries have done the same. Apparently, you

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">D’s endowment was
so special. The feeling I had in the Celestial Room was incredible! Looking at A.
and D. all dressed in white. One short year ago,
they were [baptized] and now they are on track toward the Celestial Kingdom.
This gospel is incredible and without a doubt this is Christ’s church.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Their plan was to wait for C. (D’s mom) to take out her endowment and then get sealed in December
. . . but after D’s endowment they decided they wanted to be
sealed the quickest possible. TOMORROW at 3 o’clock they are going to be
sealed, and I am so stoked!! (And yes, I get to go!)<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">This week we had 6 investigators at
church and we are going to invite all of them to be baptized this week. ha We
need to baptize more. This month has been poopy so far in the zone. Tuesday we
are going to have to burn the zone for slacking off. ha But hopefully this week
we have a lot of success.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">Mom, I’m not sick anymore. ha How do
the Elders eat there if the members don’t have investigators?? They probably
starve if the members there are anything like the members here. [<i>We are</i>.] ha I thought
about the reception thing and I think it be fine to just have it at home . . . I
don’t really think many people will come, so it would be weird to have it at
the chapel. [<i>I hope our </i></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>ward and stake prove him wrong!</i>]</span></span></div>

percent. I’m excited to see your power cage, Dad. I’m excited to work out, too.
This morning I did 20 pull-ups without an extreme amount of effort.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

That’s crazy it severed the nerve. Were
the sales good this week? I wanted to set you up on a date with Elder Jones' (my
comp’s) sister. She’s [beautiful] and she’s studying in Ohio (She’s
a doctor. ha), but she kind of has a bf [boy friend]. ha But if they break up
you need to take her out.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

baptize today. G. (the cousin of a member) is 17 and she has been
going to church off and on for a year. The missionaries had never taught her,
but when she came to church three weeks ago we marked an appointment and we’ve
been teaching her ever since. And this week we invited her to be baptized and
she accepted . . . And Thursday we had a long lesson with the mom, because she
didn’t want to let her be baptized. It was probably the hardest lesson of my
mission . . . because it was a battle . . . and I had a fever of 102. ha At one
point I told her, "Your daughter isn’t asking if she can use drugs . . .
she’s not asking if she can go to some sketchy party and get drunk . . . she
asking if she can follow Christ . . . and you don’t want to let her???" ha </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">Fortunately, she understood
and said she would support G</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">. (If she was just a year older she wouldn’t
have to ask. ha) But her cousin and aunts and uncles will take good care of her
(They are all members of the church . . . and one is a bishop.).</span></div>

<span style="background-color: #444444; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">So this week was ok . .
. Our new comp is Elder Jones, from California!! He’s way cool and super chill.
He is already speaking the language well and we’re working well together. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #444444; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">Our baptism fell through
this week, but he still went to church on Sunday. We don’t really understand
why he doesn’t want to be baptized, and we tried our best to help him. We
are going to invite him this Sunday to watch our other baptism and hopefully
that helps. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #444444; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">The "other baptism’s"
name is G. and she is great. She is 17 and has been to
church several times. Two weeks ago, her cousin who is a member presented us to
her and we have been teaching her ever since. She is progressing well and yesterday
she accepted the invitation to be baptized the coming Sunday. We have been to
teaching her mom, too, and hopefully she will be baptized as well next next Sunday.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #444444; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">Also, we went to the
temple this week with E. and L. (Ga’s parents) we have been teaching them for a while now and they are progressing
well. L. is very Catholic and we have been working to help her
gain a testimony of the Book of Mormon. She still hasn’t quite got one. E. believes it true but still has the mindset that every church is good and that
you just need to do your best to be a good person and you will be saved. Ha But,
I know they will be baptized and when they are, they will never leave the
church!! And probably will be great leaders, too.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

hard and got a lot done. We had six investigators at church, and we marked a
baptismal date with a Haitian man we are teaching. His name is D. and he doesn’t speak any Portuguese, but he speaks English pretty well. It’s
been weird teaching in English. ha Quite challenging. ha<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

home evening with them last Monday night and it went really well. They had
asked us what it means to be Mormon . . . and so we put together an awesome lesson
with videos and lots of examples and it went really well. The wife made us
apple pie the other day!!! It was so good. So, to thank them we made cookies. ha
They all went to church yesterday and liked it a lot. We’re going by again
tonight to teach them :) I’m stoked.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

and it’s been crazy. The first time Brasil played the whole city stopped. We
tried working (They said we could try if we wanted or we could study inside). We
were out trying to do street contacts and there was nobody in the street . . .
then Brasil scored the first goal . . . and we heard the crescendo (IDK how to
spell that) of screams. It was weird . . . I’ve never seen anything like it. ha
The whole neighborhood went nuts and after everyone screamed for a minute
everyone started throwing fireworks out the windows. Ha So we went home and
studied . . . but by the end of the game we knew Brasil had scored three goals.

Well, this week wasn’t too eventful. On Thursday
night I got sick again. ha I woke up and threw up a ton but by Saturday I was
fine. ha It was just like a stomach flu or something. A few good things
happened though. Three of our investigators went to church and loved it. One
lady we took cried during Sacrament meeting. Also, F., my recent
convert got the Priesthood and next Sunday he is going to bless the Sacrament.
(We gave him a white shirt and tie to use :)) <o:p></o:p></div>

Also, we
were able to finally make an appointment with a man named F. that’s
been going to church for a few months now, but he has never let us go by his
house. ha (I think he is scared of us!) But yesterday he gave me and Elder Bell,
Brasil jackets that are sweet and we marked a day to go by and make cookies
with him and watch the movie on the restoration. He is super nice and his
daughter is already a member, so he has been going with her these past few
months. We really want to help him become a member and I know he already knows
the church is true. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="yiv3819572441msonormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv3819572441msonormal">
Also, I just got an email from one of my recent
converts in Tamandaré, A. . . . remember him? He just told me that he
started working on his mission papers!!!! Woo! And it sounds like this month I’ll
get to see D’s endowment, too!!!<o:p></o:p></div>

Mom, those talks sound splendid. I miss our ward . . . I think everything works smoothly there. That
will be nice to have a three-week “break.” ha, I’ll be praying that all goes
well with your foot :) I’ll for sure do something for Elder Linzey on
his b-day. I’m currently poor, so if you put money in my account that would be
great. And yes there are quite a few things I’d like to get before I leave . .
. most for you guys. I already have a good amount of souvenirs, but there are a
couple things I need to get for you all.<o:p></o:p></div>

Dad, it’s good to hear the garage is coming
along. The power rack looks pretty cool . . . you think it’s as strong as a
metal one, though?? Elder Linzey is adjusting well . . . He’s really funny and
has the same sense of humor that Sam [<i>one
of Reece’s best friends</i>] does, so we get along well.<o:p></o:p></div>

Ryan, I
liked the Corvette pic. ha Maybe you could trade the Civic in? And congrats on
the diploma. It’s official now. You need to get it framed. ha Is that other pic
of the girl you’ve been dating? She’s kinda of cute, but I think you could probably
do a little better, Bro. But whatever makes you happy, man.</div>

me them. It was awkward and it hurt so bad. ha But I’m all better now and I’m

like an hour and a half and answered a bunch of questions he had, and then I

zone . . . and the two people we wanted to baptize in our area fell
through..(One went traveling and the other's parents didn’t
want to let her be baptized) . . . So we didn’t know what to do. But we three
fasted from Wednesday to Thursday and the on Thursday night we stopped by the
church to use the bathroom, and they were having seminary and the teacher said,
"Elders, we have a reference for you!" G. was there
and when they introduced us to him I was surprised, because I had seen him at
church a few times and at seminary and I thought he was already a member. We
talked for a minute and then we grabbed a class room and started teaching him. After
the prayer the first thing he said was, "I really want to get rid of my
sins and feel closer to God." haha I was like "Amigo, have you ever
heard of baptism?" haha We taught him for a while and then again on Friday
and Saturday, and then on Sunday night he was baptized!!! Miracles. ha His
family went and they all loved it and cried a lot. Now, on Thursday we have an
appointment to teach them too. :) Yes!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

make rice and beans if you want Brasilian food. ha I
loved the Mother’s Day pics, Mom... I’m so blessed to have you as my mom. I
mentioned Alma 56 yesterday on Skype. I love that chapter. The mothers prepared
their boys from early on, so that in that crucial moment of battle their faith didn’t
falter... and they courageously defended their families and freedom. Those
mothers had such a crucial role in the story, and so it is with you, Mom, in my
story. You helped me prepare since I was little for this spiritual battle I am
fighting... and needless to say, I would not be here in the mission if it wasn’t
for you. You truly are the best mom I know. I look up to you, I admire you and I
love you so very much. Thank you mom!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

took him to church this Sunday and he loved it. When we were teaching him, he

because our mission reached the baptismal goal! We had to wake up at 5 so I was
a little grump at first ha... but when we got there I ran into A.!!
He was there taking out endowments for members in his family... (Since he took
his endowment out he has woken up every Saturday at 4 in the morning and done
three sessions) it was so good to see him there. He gave me a name of a member
of his family and we sat together and ate lunch together afterwards, too :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

a baptismal interview and a young girl I interviewed last week asked me to baptize
her and her brother did too... so I got to baptize... BUT the girl is scared of
water... so it was complicated. I baptized the boy first and then the girl...
but it took about 30 minutes of gentle coaxing (is that a word? I think it is
ha) one of the sisters put on baptismal clothes and got in the font too. haha It
was awesome. We said a prayer with her and then started talking with her. It
reminded me of teaching Remi how to swim. The water was FREEZING and I had to
kneel down with her. But finally she was baptized and it all worked out.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Ryan!! </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">I think you could use 1 Kings 19:11-12 to help your converts...
I’ve never read it in English, but in Portuguese it’s good to help people
recognize the answers they have already been given. Or ask him how he feels
when he reads the Book of Mormon... usually people say calm or peaceful... and
then you can use Galatians 5:22 to explain that such feeling come from the Spirit.
IDK... Hope that helps</span></div>

for the zone. We had 6 investigators at church and all of them are progressing
well... <br />
<br />
We are teaching a family of four that is really special and they are
progressing really well. The husband is a returned missionary that fell away
from the church and was inactive for about two years. He is coming with his
girlfriend and her two daughters. They have been to church three times now and
last night we went and taught them with the first counselor in the bishopric
and his wife who is the Relief Society presidente. The lesson went really well,
and A., the Mom, cried a lot. She prayed about the Book of Mormon and
got an answer! And at the end of the lesson we all knelt down and A. said a prayer and the spirit was super strong. Everyone was crying ha. They are
going to be baptized for sure... but they need to get married first. They
already marked a date though (I think the third weekend in April). so it’s
going really well with them!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 12pt;">We</span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 12pt;">ll, this week was great. Our
numbers weren’t good but it was a very spiritual week and I witnessed miracles!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 12pt;">First off... we baptized M.... When we invited him to be baptized... he said, “You mean I don’t have to wait
more?” We explained the importance of the baptism with some scriptures... and
invited him to be baptized this Sunday… and he accepted without hesitation. All of the youth have welcomed him into the ward and I feel like there is a
chance he might serve a mission one day. :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Also, the highlight of my week was
going with A. to take out his endowments. We went on Saturday and
when we got there Ri. and Ro. saw me and started screaming TIO MILLER!!!
ha They ran up and gave me a huge hug... I love those kids! Then we talked for
a while with A. and D. They are so strong in the church now!!! A., as you know, is the ward mission leader and D. is the first counselor in
the primary presidency.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">After about an hour we went in (D. still hasn’t been a member for a year... She will take her endowments out in June)
((and they will be sealed in July :))). Anyway, the session was great. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Adriano loved it too... and was well
prepared. In the temple we talked a lot... he thanked me for everything
I had done to help him and I had to hold back tears ha. (Mom I’m sending you a
letter for your bay and I’ll explain more about it)</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 12pt;">It was an incredible day, and it
feels so good to see this beautiful family progressing so well. The gospel
completyley [completely] changed their lives for the better and I feel so
blessed to have played a part in their conversion.</span></div>

and Dad’s anniversary!! I asked Ma.... one of our recent converts to make you
your present... It turned out great and I think you will like it! You’re gunna
have to wait five more months to get it though.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 12pt;">About BYU, I talked to President and
it was great! He said there is no problem leaving a little early to study, he
actually encourages it... but I don’t need to leave a transfer early. I think I’ll
just go home about 10 days before school starts. (Like the 22 of August) I
think it’s the best way to go about it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 12pt;">I def want to go straight to Provo....and
I want all my classes 10:00 or later haha… 7:00 is way to
early... I’d like to just finish my associates as fast as I can so please sign
me up for what I need. And please let me know what the 8 classes I need to take
are...<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 12pt;">And Sam said the big bedroom is 400 a
month? That the prices are off. But if that’s too much IDK what to do ha... I

<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Dad... you’re pulling a mom haha
usually she’s the open that tries to set us up on dates. If she is cute I will
take her on a date though... ha You need to just take some steroids and get
shredded ha. 165 is really skinny though. I haven’t weighed that much since I
was a sophomore in high school I think ha. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Ryan... I loved the email... I think
I have the same perspective as far as little efforts go. Our president always
says... the field is white... already to harvest... you are here to harvest
(baptize) not to plant seeds... buuutttt, I always try to be a good
example and do what Christ would do... this week we helped a couple push their
car like a mile because it broke down in the middle of the street… I like to
think that next time they talk to Elders they will remember what we did and
will accept their message. What do you mean car accident?????? [New car, bad fender-bender in the rain. Everyone is okay.] And friends that
are getting baptized... I want to hear more about that too!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

advertised your lawn care business? Did you wear your shirt? And what is MPA? Like
a band competition right? ha What instrument did you play? Triangle? Symbols? </span></div>
