I have been learning a lot with him because we are so very different from each other. Thank you dad for your words on prayer! I think that I will use it in for our meeting with the missionaries tomorrow! Thank you for all of your love and support! Please write me this next sunday because I will have time to respond!

Alright well I am very greatful to hear that dad is doing better! Three weeks! WHOO KELLIE it is coming up! Will they be two baby boys, girls, or a boy and a girl? It would be lovely to hear from you, spencer and kellie. Dad you asked about those withdrawals this last week right? two times I had to pay for medicine. One when elder Lima was sick and One when I was sick. Also I bought a new bag and scripture cases so that is where the money went.

ha for the first transfer in 10 months I don't have a greenie. :( ha I will miss the greenie fire. Now I am with Elder Arevalo. He was in Ponta Grosa, a distant city for one year. ha I had never met him before. He is from Peru and has a year and 4 months on the mission.  so this week we had a Seventy that came and visited our stake! It was great! He motivated the members a lot to do Missionary work!!! He also talked a lot about couple missionaries! We now have a couple missionary that is serving in our mission! But Also another cool Fact FERNANDO, Who was baptized last month, and 7 other members of our ward received the Holy Priesthood!! because he had been attending church for 5 months, the bishop felt that Fernando had been well prepared! It just makes me soo happy! The seventy participated in his ordination. He is such a great man and friend! He will serve the Lord very well! Julia, his daughter, always wanted a priesthood man in her home and now the Lord has blessed her with that! I know that The Lord continues forth in his work. As we exercise our faith everyday, Miracles happen with his aid that he gives. We simple need to recognize them! I love you all and hope to hear from you all next week!

Hudson is so cute! and don't that you freak out about the whole bus thing! haha That just means you are a good Mom! Dad haha I happy to hear about your positive thinking! the part swears would be a great a part to loose! haha I will keep you in my prayers and I know that the lord will bless you!

I am very sad this week because elder Lima is leaving Capão. He is being transferred this week. The Zone Had the Best month ever this august with 48 baptisms! I am grateful for the wonderful missionaries in our zone and that I have the Chance to be their leader for one more transfer! But I will really miss elder lima. We worked so well together!!!! But such is life and I will receive my new comp tomorrow and Elder Wright will form a new set here in the same area! It will be great! This week we took 2 of our recent converts to visit the grounds of the temple and Teach there! It was such a great experience! There was a wonderful mom and daughter that were baptized this week! I know that all these blessing truly came from the savior and I am humbled to see all the miracles that have come to pass in these past few weeks! I know that the Lords work continues to move forward and I am so glad to be a part of it! I know that without him I am nothing, But I am SOO very happy that these people have started on the path to come to know the savior! May we strive to continue to come to know him.

Love,
Elder Bell

It was really great to hear from all of you this week! thanks for the update about the kids heather! I bet it is alot easier with all the kids starting up school! haha And it is good that you're friend is going to church! Have they met the missionaries yet? Sister Cropper from your ward returned home this last week. With mike, here are some scriptures you can help mike understand the importance of not drinking. Alma 34: 34-36

This week was filled with many more miracles! The Lord is so involved in this work and I know that he is in every step! This Ward is awesome! We had 3 baptisms in our ward this week and all of them were referrals!!! I know truly the work is moving forward and that the Lord is truly at the head of this work! I know that only through him and the spirit are brought into the fold! I must be short because of the time but I know that the savior lives!

Love
