Aiyan.


Well, no pictures today because I forgot the adapter.

But we ran/hiked all the way up to the top of a mountainous thing this morning and it was AWESOME. The área up there is called Bela Vista. You can see the whole city from up there! Man... It was fun.

In other news, Eliane got baptized this week. :) The Elders and we were very happy to see her get baptized. (They had been working with her before they passed her to us.) She was late to her baptism and confirmation, but she is really liking church and Young Women's. She's 17. There aren't alot of Young women in our ward but at least they are all her age to make her feel right at home.

The Elders this week baptized a 62 or 67 year old woman... She is now the oldest AND newest member of our ward! She has alot of problems walking, but the Elders gave her a blessing and she has been walking better and better every week with the help of the members. She also can't read, so the members are going to pass around a calendar in relief society and priesthood for people to pass by everyday to read to her. She's a real sweet thing.

This upcoming week, Mario will be baptized! He's the friend and neighbor of our ward mission leader, Ailton. We marked this date with him earlier in the transfer and this past week he has been wanting to move it back a week... This wouldn't be such a huge deal if it wasnt Satan putting that thought into his mind when he is already ready. But he interviewed with the Bishop with the Bishop's routine before baptism interview, and Bishop turned his thoughts around.

This week we recieved a list of 28ish less actives from the Bishop. The Bishop, The Elders, and we all had a meeting where we knelt in prayer and we divided up the work in 2 sections, and now we will be working with the ward counsil to try and bring these people back. We will talk about 2 people from each half of the list each week and talk about how we can help them. :) I'm excited for our ward to be big and strong again. :)

This week 2 different less acctives we did visits to, came to church!! :D Plus 5 of our investigators. It was super happy. :)

Zone Conference was great this week. It was great to be able to talk to President and Sister Oliveira. I'm so lucky to have them as my mission president. :)

Other than that, the sun is hot here.. The work is going well. We're happy. This weekend is transfers. This transfer just FLEW by. Where did it go? Seriously.

Anyways, That is all.
