5 May 2014 - Clima Bom, Brazil

This week we get some great updates on many investigators, as well as some exciting/sad news--Elder Frogley received his "trunky papers." (At least, that's what we called them in my mission.) Anyway, exciting stuff happening in Brazil for Elder Frogley!

Wow, i wonder if ill be like that when i get home. It´ll be weird. But life sounds pretty chill in the US. Life here is starting to heat up. The world cup is getting started here in a little and the whole world is starting to slow down. I got a magazine with pics and stuff of the players to colect. Its crazy here. haha, but the mission is chill! We keep working and we have several baptisims marked for next week and the week after. Baptisim for my birthday! Thatll be fun.

 Our favorite investigator is Cristiani. She went to Sao Paulo this week to visit her boyfriend but she said shed go to church there. She says she wants to be baptised cause she always feels the spirit when we come. Which is awesome to here cause it means that were doing it right with her. She prays and does everything we ask. Plus her mom lives with her and she really likes us. Shes parapalegic and has to stay in the bed 24 hours. We are going to start teaching her, but it will be hard if she wants to be baptised and for her to get to church. 

Our other investigators who are progressing are three brothers. The oldest is very inteligent. He remembers everything that we teach him and wants to be baptised. And if hes baptised his two brothers said theyll be baptised too. Which is good enough for us! His Mom and older sister are already members but they havent been to church for ever. Really a cool family. It was funny cause when we were teaching the house started attacking me. It was raining so the ceiling started to leak on me. Then fungus from teh ceiling started to fall on me. All durring the lesson. And only on me! haha, it was funny. Were trying to teach a man who had an excelent experience with us. But its hard to find him at home. Hes excelent though. Also were teaching a girl who wants to be baptised but she is also never home! 

But on the up side its been raining every day, so the heat is going away now. Were not so sweaty any more and its fun to run from shelter to shelter. Were in a trio now! one of the elders got emergency transfered to fill a spot in another area. President is going to wait to send a new elder because Elder Acevedo is going back to Texas! Soooo weird. But hes still working every day and were still visiting people every day. Hes a good Elder. Anyway! Thanks for all the emails and love from yall! I pray for you every day! Miss you!
