dear family,
 
ole minha familia! tudo bem? I am so happy to hear from all of you from jonathan´s job to blake hacking for a living, mom telling me there is a New Film in the temple, and ryan trying to correct my portuguese. I am so gratful to hear that everyone is doing well and that the lord is with you!! and my favorite dish.... all of it. I have only had one thing that i didn´t like, and ha i can´t even remember what it was. 
 
thank you for all your prayers!! I can testify that they are helping a lot! It is actually very beautiful sometimes when I have no idea what people are saying but Through the spirit of what they say or testify of I understand in my heart and the spirit tells me what to say!! I may be frustrated at times but the work of a missionary is simple. testify, love, and invite. I am not the teacher. the spirit is! the best way to invite the spirit in their lives is to invite them to act. Act in faith on the truths of the gospel. so in order for others as well as ourselves to receive that witness of the spirit, we all need to act. that is why inviting others is so important. and I can´t explain all that i want to and say all that i might want to say or express, but I can bare my testimony and invite. eu sei ele vive. eu sei o livro de mórmon é a palvara de Deus. eu sei que por meio do principios do livro de mórmon, nos podemos voltar com nosso pai. I know that these things are true!
Now as far as the work goes! the lord has blessed us with 21 investigators. I am so gratful for the opportunity to help these people come closer to Christ! there is a man that has had a rough past and has been taught many many times! He has had 2 different baptismal dates that fell through. I really feel that the Lord has prepared him for this time! Pray that he can continue on the straight and narrow and that the spirit of forgiveness may be in his home! I love you all! continue to keep me in your prayers!   
 
com amor,
