Campos - Week Eight

Riley in his apartment making his "double chin face"!

Hey family!

So this week was all right. It started out pretty good but then kinda went downhill. Anyway, we now have 4 baptism dates marked, 3 with the family of Cristiani. We are teaching her husband José and daughter Sheyeni. They are progressing well and are excited for their baptism date on the 24th. We also are teaching a Julius Caesar, who is pretty cool. He had some issues in the past, I don't know exactly what, but he was in prison for a while and he is really looking to change his life and follow the right path.

This week was harder because we didn't really do our contacts until the last day, so we were lacking people to visit at times, and it seemed like no one was ever home.

The best part of the week was the temple dedication on Sunday. The Manaus temple is pretty cool. Before the session, they had a slide show of the temple with a few others and the rooms inside. The Spirit was pretty strong, just with the slideshow! The temple was dedicated by Elder Uctdorf, and Elder Cook was there too. Elder Uctdorf gave a talk and so did two of the members of the area presidency. It was pretty neat. well. yeah.

We had a meeting that was pretty productive with the bishop this week. the members here aren't really excited to do much. The weekly activites dont have very many people, but the bishop and I came up with some ideas to help get more people. The bishop is a really great guy, the sad thing is that he is pretty much doing everything by himself.

Well that's pretty much my week. Wasn't very exciting. I cut my hair. and yeah.

Sounds like you all are having fun with summer there. That's cool that you went to record at Disneyland. Well, there were some holidays here that made it harder to work, and there's always soccer happening. Everybody here was pretty depressed that they lost to Argentina. Messi basically won by himself.

Love you all! Miss you! Keep being awesome!
