Last week I wasn´t able to send an email because we didn´t have time. Elder Sukhee and I  ended up going to Johnny Rockets in the mall to eat!

My new area is in the city, so it´s very rushed and there are lots of people that live close together. That also means lots of people who are ready to be baptized! In the past two weeks, we baptized 8 people. First, Rita. Then the family of Juracy, Breno, and Sabrina. And then Yhane, Crislaine, Gabriela, and Cleber.

Rita loves going to church. She walked about an hour to get to church, yesterday, because she is super poor and doesn´t have money to take a bus. The Lord blesses us when we make sacrifices.

The next family has been waiting a few weeks to be baptized because the mom wanted to wait until her daughter turned 8 years old. We baptized them on the daughter’s birthday and ate cake afterwards to celebrate!

The last family was a bit difficult to baptize because the 2 older girls were a bit scared to be baptized. We focused on the importance of reading the Book of Mormon and receiving an answer from the Spirit. They all received a confirmation from the Spirit. We didn´t have any more small jumpsuits for their little brother, so he had to use an adult one! He was super embarrassed and didn´t want to be baptized in it. He was about to take off the jumpsuit, so I offered him my tie to use to make up for the big clothes. He accepted! haha

With Love,
