the only reason that we need to talk to presidente before is for him not to book my flight! the airport that you will fly into is in the city são Jose dos Pinhais but it is practically the airport of curitiba because it is just on the side of Curtiba. the other thing is that to travel in the city curitiba, you don't have to worry about transport. we can use the bus! but to go to Iguaçu falls, the worlds largest waterfall, it is a little trip. also I have a family that already said that they will take us to the beach! ha we can eat just fine here! food is not expensive. you should get the same shots that I got. WHOO 2 NEW BELL BOYS!! I am really excited to see the pictures!!!
This week was a pretty tough week! We worked and worked and worked and did not have much success this week! ha but our zone had great success this week! I think that the Lord is just helping me be more humble! I know that Humility is the key to have a good life! I have learned alot as I read in Ether this week that it is so easy for all men to fall because of pride! I truly know that we must strive to remember the lord in all things! if we don't do so, we leave space for the enemy to work! May we all be Humble and follow the savior's will! I love you all and I hope you have a good week!

Conference was great wasn't it!? haha Conference is like the super bowl for missionaries! I love your idea to come and pick me up!!!! that would be Awesome! Haha I already have 2 families that already said if your family comes to pick you up, we will take you to the beautiful beaches in Santa Cantarina! Also in the state that I am in Parana. there are Iguaçu falls which is the largest waterfall in the world! ha so.. it would be great! The date that I finish my mission is the 11th of January. I thought it would be in February but nope.. I know that many missionaries have stayed awhile after the mission when there parents came and got them. I will ask how it works.
I Loved conference! It strengthed my testimony about President Monson and how he truly is a prophet of God! Also Elder Anderson's talk gave a lot of comfort about the increased opposition that is appearing about the Prophet Joesph Smith! I know that Joesph Smith is a Prophet of God! It truly is IMPOSSIBLE to deny the fruits that the Lord Gave Him! Elder Anderson also gave a Key to avoid our doubts. Attend the temple and work with sealings and Read the Book of Mormon! I Know with certainty that the Book of Mormon is the word of God. Also about having Elder Goodoy speak in Portuguese in conference was really awesome! Haha in our chapel we had the church news and they interviewed me about what I thought about it. haha But as for the work, Satan worked really hard this week to stop everyone from being baptized and watching conference! But I know that The Lord is stronger than the enemy and Through our faith and search to do his will, We will prevail!

This week I have time to write! Whoo HOO! I am happy to hear that face is healing up fine dad! Jon I will keep you in my prayers that the pressure sore heals up! Ryan thanks for the email! I know that truly the mission is the most powerful experience i have had so far in my life! Good to hear that addie and gracie are helping with the baby! ha My health is great and I would love to receive some funds in my account!
This last week was really good! Elder Arevalo and I are working well together! He is from peru and has 1 year and 4 months on the mission. He had been serving in Ponta Grossa which is far away city! so I never knew him before. We had a Baptism! Whoo! Her name is Ana and I thought that she was already a member! haha She was incredibly prepared and In Her interview she taught the district leader everything! he left the interview and said, " wow she called me to repentance and to live a better life!" haha Fernando is now the first counselor in the elder's quorum! And evelin has a calling in the young women! She was baptized a month ago! I know I am not a dad yet but i imagine that the feeling of seeing your children grow is a lot like the happiness that you have when your recent converts progress! I am soo thankful for this work! I Love my savior for his strength and cure that he brings into my life and the Lives of others!

So I will have to be short this week because of the numbers... but I am doing great! Elder Arévalo and I are in the process of becoming one!

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! Mindy, Ryan, Spencer, Jon... I would love to hear from all of you Especially!

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.

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!
