Campos - Week Fourteen

 Riley and one of the Zone Leaders on divisions.

At the baptism of Joselia and Raquel.

Well, nothing has been working with these emails. That's really frustrating. Oh well.
So, we had baptisms this week!! WOOO, so excited. Everything went great, there were no problems, they even showed up to church early. =) Raquel said she felt like she was floating after the baptism and that she felt like she wanted to cry but didnt know why. Basically, everything was awesome. So excited to have finally helped someone into the church here in campos. Yesss!

So we found another person that I think we will baptise on the 5th. His name is Luiz, and he is way cool. Basically I think God put him in our path a second time so that we would teach him. We contacted him on the street, and he said that we already talked to him and got his address. But we couldn't remember any of that. So we took his address again and decided to visit him. I think he's about 48, but he's way cool and just wants to learn. He accepted a baptisimal date for the 5th of august. I'm looking forward to it.

We taught Paulo again. He's so hard but I want him to accept the gospel so much! He would be a great leader. So we marked to teach him a few times but he never could, so on Tuesday, we decided to bring a member along, and turns out, they know each other and that helped so much. Basically, he was going to say to us that he doesn't agree with us about the Book of Mormon and that he didn't want us to teach him anymore. But our member just destroyed him with logic about why not have the Book of Mormon. It was awesome, and the Spirit was really strong. I just want him to accept the gospel! Our teaching is still going pretty slow, unfortunately. =/ We aren't getting very many new investigators.
But I'll be here until the 14th, I think I'll get transferred. After 4 and a half months in the same place, I'd like to see some new places every once in a while.

But that's about it for this week. I hope I will be blessed with more miracles this week as well. LOVE you all!

Blake- way to be an awesome camping buddie! Good job at scout camp bro! I'm sure you loved it!  Keep up the good work irmãozinho. How's the saxophone going? Are you pro already?

Darcy - way to be an all-star soccer player! Keep dominating the field, and one day you'll be playing for team USA! =) haha! Super cool that you had the best week ever at efy. Keep being awesome Irmãzinho. Did you score goals at your soccer tournament?

Drew - You need to be better. Stop slacking. haha just kidding. Way to have spiritual experinces at efy. That's super cool that you liked it and that you learned to pray about the things you need. 3 Nephi 18 is a chapter that I have really come to love in the Book of Mormon, especially the part in the middle that talks about prayer. Drew, Live the gospel. I know it seems annoying, but study the scriptures EVERY DAY, if its just for 10 minutes, do it. And seminary doesn't count. I promise you that you will see a difference in your day. You will be happier and have the Spirit with you. Don't forget to pray either. There is power in prayer. Like it says in D&C 10, Pray always, that ye may come off conquerer. You can overcome Temptation and whatever satan throws at you with prayer. =) Leave with the missionaries. I promise you that this will help you prepare for the mission faster than anything else. You will actually have fun doing it. =) How's the electro music going? Have you made a cd yet? Putting my light gloves to good use?

LOVE you guys. Have a good week =)
