Miracles are happening here in Brasil! Another Baptism, another win in the Cup!

Ei! What´s happenin family! How's life where you guys are at! Life is crazy here in Brasil. Especially with what happened this morning! Brasil did it! We got another one! Brasil 2-0 Mexico! We´re moving on! I hope that we can make it to the final... actually I don´t hope for that. I don´t want the work to stop this year. Apparently what happens here is when they win a World Cup, the whole year becomes a Holiday. That´s what my companion says anyway.

We got another Baptism this week! Her name is G and she is such a high spirited person. She did the exact same thing her sister did when I baptized her sister as well. We went down into the water and she just fell and I barely caught her before she went in, and had to explain to her that after the prayer she could go under. The water was probably 0 degreeses. It was a very great experience and we confirmed her a member yesterday! But anyway that´s the Highlights for this past week! I´ll end by leaving the message like I always do! Hope all of you are doing great! Até o próximo carta!

President James E. Faust taught: 

“Hope is the anchor of our souls. …
“Hope is trust in God’s promises, faith that if we act now, the desired blessings will be fulfilled in the future. …
“The unfailing source of our hope is that we are sons and daughters of God and that His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, saveus from death” (“Hope, an Anchor of the Soul,” Ensign, Nov1999, 59–60).
As you can see it´s about Hope! I´ve been studying a lot about hope this past week and something that it says in this quote really helps me out a lot. Hope is our Trust in the Lord. When it says, faith that if we act now, the desired blessings will be fulfilled in the future... I love that a lot. It helps me to know that when I have Faith in the Lord and Trust in Him, the things that I´m desiring to be blessed in my life and especially in the lives of others will come to pass as I continue to put all my Faith and Hope in the Lord. I leave this challenge with you this week, or whenever you read this. To put all Faith and Trust in the Lord, in whatever you do. Don´t have doubts, when you have doubts or troubles in your thoughts or acts, continue to just face them positive and always say; I have faith in the Lord, and I will always Trust in Him that these doubts or troubles I am having will go away. Just keep saying this phrase over and over when you have problems. It has helped me a lot and I know it can help you in all of your trials as well.
Wow that´s BIG!

Here´s some pictures as well!
