Aug 6

This week went by fast.  I´m working lots as usual.  Trying to work out heh.  But yeah the week was really good.  Thanks for the letter (as always)  I liked reading about your thoughts about the plan of salvation.  Good to hear.  We are so blessed to have the restored gospel in our lives.  As our prophet said last conference "it answers all of lifes biggest questions!" 

 

As for the question about if I drink any soda. . . . . Unfortunately yes haha.  We have lunch in a members house everyday and we generally get coke.  I freaking love coke.  It´s so delicous.  But yeah they only have like 4 types of sodas in brazil.  First they have sprite, fanta orange, fanta grape, guaraná antartica, and coke.  Not to much.  But they have a lot of good fruits that you wont find the the americas.  Me and my comp drank some açaí today.  It´s seriously the best fruit drink i´ve had in my life.... You would love it.  Did you know they don´t have lemons here?  Kinda strange huh?  They just have limes and lemon is the same word as lime . . . .Limão.  Lemonaid is really great!

 

 

So about the week.  The week went by WAY fast.  I think the fastest week in my mission.  I can´t believe the transfer is coming to a close.  We taught and walked a lot this week.  Found some good people that have potential to be baptised...  Then comes sunday.  6 houses we passed and each one gave a sorry or they weren´t there haha.  Oh well always have next week.  BUT the good news is that Beatriz was baptised!! :D  Was a great reunion and I can tell she is going to be great in the church.  Well all people are great in the church.  I love fast and testimony meeting now. (used to hate it)  But now I take the opportunity to reflect on the month and how my relationship with god is.  I think it´s pretty good at the moment.  It´s kinda funny how much i´m constantly talking with him.  I pray ALOT during the day.  Makes me think if I am praying this much how much do you think the savior prayed each day?  Must have constantly been communicating with his father.

 

Thanks for the support family and friends I love you all!
