I am bad and thats good. I will never be good and thats not bad, there's no one i'd rather be then me. Name that movie!!!

So this week was a good one, we are working real hard and we are getting lots of results!! This week was a lot of me and Elder Queiroz cuz the assistants went to do splits with the ZLs so we stayed Mon-Fri together we did lots of contacts in the park of the bus station but maybe 2 out of 10 are in our area so that sucks for us cuz we do all the work and the other missionarys get the Baptism, but ohh well!! So this week we have one baptism marked for this Saturday. His name is Djulho and is 10 years old and his G-ma got baptised last saturday and he was there with us for all the lessons and so he wanted to get baptised as well so we marked for him this week and we talked to his parents and they said thats alright!!! So this week we got one then next week will be another and the week after that will be a weekly baptising here in Piracicaba!!! The work is hard but the results are worth it!!! I still HATE waking up at 6:30 i dispise it!!!!! And doing excersises with out stuff to do just jump around is not me!!! I need to go out and do somthing!! But i just "stretch" in my bed untill its my turn to take a shower! KKKK Yea so the Portuguese from here is like the English from the states and the Portuguese from Portugal is like English from England but we will for sure be able to understand one another. and its Tudo Bem. Well thats this week

So this week we had a BAPTISM!!!!!! Her name is Maria shes about 50 years old and shes really elect we have been teaching her ever since i got here and she is super cool shes a cook in her own house and she always gives us something to eat when we go over there. She is super sweet!! We have some AMAZING investigators that are progressing a ton!!! Viviane and Augusto are a family with three kids and we try to teack them at the same time as the mom and dad but they are too much into the world to care about God or Jesus Christ or anything else. So we're working on them and trying to mark a wedding date for them cuz they need to get married first so that they can get baptised. We are super happy here and are all getting along just great!! I love it here!!!

355 days LEFT Mother's day



Skyping with Tyler. Tyler has now been transferred to the main city Piracicaba...and he is companions with the AP (assistant to the President).  The AP's both have companions who are not APs so when they have office work to do they will be companions.  Pictures is the other AP's companion.  This is significant because he is Walstir Fonseca's nephew (her brother's son) who is from Rio de Janiero.  That was some fun news!

​questions​
​I met some people this weekend while helping with Megan Edwards wedding...Julia Black? she said she knew you.  Know her?​
Yup i sure do!!!

What did you do to celebrate  your one year mark?
I burned one of my shirts that was all holy 

How are your possible converts?
So we dont really have any.

Is your ward doing small baby steps to getting along. 
We found out the problem here and its one lady that is always looking to destroy others. 

Did you have a little party or anything on thursday? (one year mark)
Nope not really no one had money!!!

Jensen and I spent hours one day perusing through DI for "provo rocks" shirts.  They are tshirts given away one time at concerts performed in provo.  They all have cool animals dressed to resemble humans.  Once they're gone, they're gone.  I sent Tyler his reindeer one for Christmas and he requested many more.  So, we went on a journey to find more.  These are the results.  Didn't know he'd give them away to his companions...thought he would give them away to members or investigators...:)
