Hello EveryBODY!

Hey everyone how´s it going down! The highlights for this week is that not much really happened but out of that stuff that did happen it was awesome! First of all Brasil beat Costa Rica 2-0! (#worldcupchampions2018). But this week we got a Baptism in! His name is Gabriel and he is a great youth. Just before the Baptism he asked me when he could serve a mission. He´s fantastic! Our work this week was a little weak because my companion got sick on me. As well as the Cup is being a little bit of a road block in our work. But we´re getting by. Last week we found 11 new people to teach. So next week we´ll be going strong! Well that´s about all. I´ll leave my scripture for the week, it´s Alma 56 this chapter has so many great points but one thing I love about it is where it talks about how if we do not doubt in God, He will deliver us from our Trials and Bless us. That´s all for this week! Tchau meus Amigos!

P.S.-What the what?! I had no idea Wyatt was 18! Tell him that he should do his papers because the Mission is one of the Greatest experiences you can ever have!

Hello everyBODY!

Hey sorry I´m running short on time so this email will be short. Everything is going great here. The world is going nuts right now because of World Cup and every time that Brasil has a game we are asked to stay in our house. So yesterday at 3 in the afternoon we were asked to stay in the house and we couldn´t watch the game! It was sad! We heard that they tied as well so that stinks. But what was so funny is we could tell when something was happening in the game because every time someone came close to scoring a goal the entire city would light up with yells, guns, and fireworks and by guns I mean like fire crackers and stuff. It´s just chaotic. This week is going to be hard to work. But we have three people that are going to be baptized this week and they are all fantastic. Well that´s all for this email! For those of you who are Missionaries and haven´t given me your addresses yet, I´m getting the next letters ready to send! I hope that you all enjoy them. This weeks Gospel Message from me is to study Alma 26 The whole chapter is amazing, it has so many things that have helped me and I know that they can help you all too. This is your missionary in Brasil saying, Tchau, até o próximo!

This is a Special Email

Today Elder Jacklin sent us a recording instead of an email. It was great to hear his voice. His mother will be informing him this week that although a recording is amazing, an email to family and friends is still required each week😎. He is doing well and enjoying his new companion. He is going to be starting to teach an English class this next week which they are excited about because there are many who want to learn and it gives the missionaries a chance to teach the gospel while they are teaching the language. He did send pictures though so enjoy!

Transfers to ´´Leadership``

EYYYYYYYYYYYY BOIS e MULHERES! Família! Muito tempo quando eu tinha uma email como isso.

How´s everyone doing! Good I hope, this week has been wako! This week we had transfers and I am really sad that my buddy Elder Kozlowski will be leaving me this week. I´ll be staying in Manaíra though. He is going to be a Zone Leader, and I´m the senior companion. My companion only has 4 months in the mission. His name is Elder Saldanha. He´s my first Brasileiro companion. This transfer I will be his leader and he is the leader of the District, just until he gets used to the Area. So I have the phone, keys, and responsibility in our area and he does the Key indicator calls and I do training with him at District Meetings. 

G was confirmed yesterday and she was really happy about that. We have a lot of new References to work with this week. It´ll be awesome this transfer with the work. I´m going to be speaking fluent in no time! I hope that all of you are doing well as well. I´m praying for you all everyday and I am hoping that you all are using your time wisely in all that you do. I love you all, Tchau Família, até o próximo!
