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

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!

Well I hope that everyone is doing okay. I received an email from Monica and my new nephew is here!! Whoo! Just don't let him learn ryan's grumpy face!
this week was a week filled with miracles! Fernando was baptized and confirmed! He had attending church for 6 months with his daughter! My testimony was definitely strengthened about the power of the Book of Mormon! He read the entire book and He knows that without a doubt it is true! It truly changed his countenance which led him to the waters of baptism! Elder Miller and I were able to teach him for the first time in June! It was a powerful experience to teach him!! He will be bishop! Ha he came to church yesterday with a white shirt, suit and tie! haha The Other is Evelin! She is an incredible person! 2 weeks ago she was praying for the Lord to give her a path to take and the next day we knocked her door and asked for a cup of water! we talked with her in the door and she accepted to visit church! the first Sunday in sacrament meeting she asked, "what do I need to do to be baptized in this church?" we taught her afterwards the restoration that Sunday and this Sunday she was baptized! I am so grateful that I have a chance to help the Lord in this glorious work. I learned something incredibly important this week! In 3 Nephi 17 the Savior finishes his teachings and invites the people to return to their homes and ponder. he then says to that he needs to leave and the people started to weep. The Lord then was filled with compassion and healed all their sick and afflicted, and prayed for their children. sometimes as missionaries or as members we sometimes visit others teach the doctrine and that's all. But With the example that the Savior gives, I learned that we can go just a little further and truly mark others for life with the pure Love that the savior wants us to have!! I love you all and hope that I can hear from you all next week!

It was great to hear from Izzy Ella, wow you both are very trunky haha, Mom and dad, AND MONICA HAD A BOY! One more member of the bell boys! That is so great! I am thankful that everything went well! How are the twins coming? Our zone is doing Okay! We had 7 baptisms this week! There is so much potential that our zone has! I am so grateful that I have been able to serve in this Zone for so long! haha Tell Tim and Karen that I have been learned a few desserts which are really good but I have to practice! tell them that If they go to church this Sunday, I will make some for them when they get back!
My testimony was strengthened imensly about the Priesthood and that this truly is a Living church! We had lunch with the members yesterday and the husband asked if we could give a blessing. Elder Lima anointed and I sealed the blessing. I truly felt in that moment what the Lord wanted me to say and promise! It was just another confirmation that comes again and again that this is Church of the Master and He has given us Permission to Act in his name! It is through that Power that revelation flows and light is brought into our lives! Also I hope that as we go to church we can really stop and reflect on what the Lord prepared for us! It truly is miraculous how the Lord ALWAYS prepares something just for me to hear! I Love You all and I hope your week goes well!

We will have a Hudson in our family? ha There is a member here who's name is Hudson! Great Name! it is good to here that Mike is progressing! I hope and pray that he can leave these vices behind and follow the savior! How are the missionaries helping? Have fun in the stake Sunday school! I know you can do a lot of good there! you can stop the whole "this is my opinion" gospel from being taught. haha Happy Late birthday Kellie! I am excited for the Shaw girls to make a visit in Idaho! whoo!! Have Fun! So Spencer you asked if training is always like this were we have two trainers and the answer is no. It only happens with Zone leaders. haha
So this week was Long but good week! I honestly think that maybe I am a walking sickness! haha My New companion Elder Lima, From Brasilia, was sick this Last week and we received Elder Thompson who is waiting to open a new area where there is only one member of the church! I am excited for him! But we had a Leadership council and we learned a lot on how to help our zones! We also had a Baptism!! Whoo hoo! Eduarda ou dudah was baptized yesterday! Her family came to watch! This ward is great! I love Capão da Imbua! This Zone is great! We had 10 baptisms this week! Which is a good week! I learned something truly special this week! When we bear our testimony, the place we are at is holy! I have learned that in the midst of turmoil and trails that others have, Our testimonies can truly change their home or in wherever they may stand! I know this to be true! I hope that we never miss the chance to say what we know is true!
