Oi Gente,




Okay well I never know for sure if Im going to be emailing on monday or tuesday... so It all depends on the week so haha just fyi.! This week was awesome I really do love this place haha even thought there really is no one here for the most part... We walk around the streets going to visit people and we are honestly the only people out walking haha its really funny but the people say during the summer it's packed so Im pretty stoked about that. But it really is still fun to walk around this place. This week we went to this less actives house and talked to her for a while... she has a shared custody of her grandaughter who the missionaries before me have been working with.. Well she was supose to be baptised a year ago but her Jehova's Witness Uncle, who is the one who also shares custody, told her not to.. The problem is he was Mormon before but he got a JW pregnat so the he switched to her religion.. anyways The Gma was having problems with him over the phone because the Girl didn't want to go to his church anymore.. Well she got super upset and started to cry in front of us.. so I offered a blessing to her and she accepted.. I gave the blessing and it was so great. I love it when you feel intune with the spirit and the words kind of just come out without thinking. She then invited us back on saturday to talk with them more. It was a wonderful experience but still has a lot of work to go. We also stopped by this brazilian lady who is LA as well. She is having a baby soon so the branch helped her out by holding a baby shower with our break the fast meal. She came to church for the first time that Elder Packer has been here. She is a sweet lady. I think she is going to pop any day now haha. Other then that this week we had a zone meeting so we went off island and I was trying to persuade the AP to keep me here until I die because I really don't wanna pack up until it's time to go home haha. This week we have tons of stuff to do. We have to go off island twice this week so that is very time consuming. But it should be good though because we have zone conference and District meeting so... meetings with missionaries are always fun haha and maybe I'll get an interview with pres. this week to tell him about you coming to pick me up mom and dad.

I have to give a 15 min talk this week on Joseph Smith which is only the 2nd talk i've given on my mission haha I'm excited though. But thank you for all you do for me still haha you're the best.! I love you all



Com Amor,
