Our trio ended this week! Pretty sad but we are happy to focus on our own areas now. We had a confrence this week in Cuiabá, they call it mission tour, which is pretty weird! It was with the president of the area and was really cool! Really awesome to hear what he had to say! 

Its one of the saddest things that a lot of people like us missionaries a lot here and invite us to their houses and everything. But they dont want anything of the church! It gets pretty sad sometimes. But it makes up for it when you are able to see the progression of someone in the church! Its one of the happiest feelings you can get! 

Everyone have a good week!

Another crazy week! The companion of Elder Batista didnt come this week so we are still in a trio, with two areas combined! Its a huge area, a lot more walking and work, but its great and we are learning a lot from each other! I am glad to be with these two awesome Elders! We are making a lot of plans to invite our investigators to baptism and we are really exciting! We are also starting an english class! Well with me and my companions, ahah i will start to teach them english, they want to be able to speak by the 1st because we will be doing an american day where we eat american food and do american things! Well North American, as some people say. But its exciting! Intense week! Hope everyone has a good one!

This week has been a crazy one! Im basically in a trio right now. We are waiting for our curto prazo ( a member from the mission who is asked or chooses to serve as a missionary for one or more transfers) to return from Cuiabá doing his papers to be the companion of the new elder in our house Elder Batista. So we are working in two areas with the tree of us at the moment. So its kind of crazy!

But on the bright side, we had a baptism this week! Brenda as prepared and decided to be baptised! It was really awesome to help her prepare and see her be baptised! My companion, Elder Neves, baptised her and it was an awesome experience! 

In our mission, every transfer there are like 20 missionaries leaving and only about 3 coming in. So we are having a hard time with missionaries! This is why we have curto prazos! We are combining a lot of areas and zones. So our zone has about 3 cities now. We have all the missionaries coming here today so we can have a zone meeting tomorrow. So it should be a fun p-day with all these missionaries today. We are going to have a churrasco.

Blessings exist, every day, every second! The church is true, perfect, and there is no other way to organize a church then the way Christ established it! We have the true church, what a blessing! 

Everything is great here! Its really hot! But its awesome. The work is going great! Everyone have a great week!

Im excited for this next transfer it should be awesome! We had such a great transfer and met and taught several people. Miracles do happen its amazing! Everyone have a good week!
