Serra - Week Six

Hey family,

Well, this week it was really hot again. Flip, Elder.

So we had some good things happen, and some things not happen, but that's alright.

So our best investigator at the moment is Ilda and her daughter Deborah, and now we are teaching her sister Joelma too. She is the one that lived in Campos. She read the Book of Mormon, and really liked it, and she said that she felt good while she read. She was going to go to church with us, but she didn't. =( and I don't know why yet. But she really likes our visits, and she committed to live the Word of Wisdom. Progress! I really think that she will be baptized.

We are also focusing on Marlete and her family, even though she's not married. Her daughter in law Magna, who was there when we taught the Book of Mormon read, prayed, and says that its true. =) We are also working with the family to get them married and to church, which is seeming difficult, because they are always doing something.

Thierlies went to church again, but isn't reading the Book of Mormon still. He's a really great member, he has a testimony, but he wants to return to activity before thinking about going on a mission.

The week has been pretty slow, people are already starting to travel. This next week will be difficult as well. But we are basically working with these two families a lot, and I really like them both. What is awesome is that every time we teach in these two places, the Spirit is always really strong. It is always the most spiritual lesson of the day at these two houses.

This week the mission will have its Christmas party. It's tomorrow actually, along with transfers but I'm staying again, so whatev. They said that this Christmas we can't go to a members house to use skype or something like that but I'll get back to you next week about what will happen for the call.

Sorry for the short email. i know its annoying. Next time I will write down my biggest spiritual experience of the week to tell to you. =)

Love you all. Thanks for all the love and support. I'm trying my hardest. I feel like the mission is a huge patience test with my companions. I seem to only get companions who have companionship issues, and President puts me with them because he knows that I'm patient. haha

Until next week, and then one more day.

TCHAO!!
