Well...No pictures

Well. It has been a long week. Nela and Claudino are married! Nela is also baptized! And Now they are working on getting Claudino worthy to go to the temple!!!! :D It was really cool because we went to their house last night and the spirit in their house is so different! It is so peaceful... and loving... and not hectic. Even though there were their 5 kids and 2 neighbor kids!

We have really great families we are working with. We are trying to work on completing part member families so that more families can be united in church and support one another... and go to the temple. :) [Who doesn't want to go to the temple?!] We're working alot with Manuel's family. His mom is amazing. She wants to do what is right. I don't think she understands portuguese alot though. Hahah. But we are workign with his 2 sisters Ju & Oriana.

Oriana is 20yrs old. We had an AMAZING LESSON with her on Saturday. Man. The room was just so full of the spirit! We knew she had been taught a long time ago so we were reteaching the 1st lesson. Do you know what? She had prayed about Joseph Smith 10 years prior and had a baptism date marked on March 14, 2003. SHE REMEMBERS HER BAPTISM DATE FROM 10 YEARS AGO. She told us, "When I first prayed about Joseph Smith, I felt completely different. And because of that I wanted to be baptized. The Sisters told me I could be baptized on March 14, 2003.. But then they left and never came back to finish teaching me." ..... WHAT!? Aren't you continually amazed at the Lord's hand? I know I am.

There are alot of less-actives that we pass when our lessons fall. And its really helping I think. This week, we had about under 80 folks at church.

Our Family from Ponta Verde wants to wait and be baptized when their dad and brother come back from portugal so they can all be baptized together. Soooo... That will be postponed. But they all have such strong testimonies. It's amazing. This week we gained another investigator from them. The woman of Domingos. They shipped her from Praia and now we're teaching her because they want to get her baptized and they wanna get married!!!! The best part is, that ever since she has been here, she has been sleeping in the house with the women and Domingos sleeps in his house alone. Because they want to keep the commandments. Is your heart melting? They have probably already been living together their whole lives and are going to be married soon, but holy cow. I hope all of you are impressed. I know I was. :)

Other than that, I have really been seeking to become a better servant of the Savior. I feel like I don't have enough hours in the day to be the servant that I want to be. I'm 4 days be hind in my Journal and probably a few transfers worth behind in my BOM reading. But what needs to be done is getting done I guess. :)

Anyways,.. That's it!
