Hey everyone! So this week was great!

SO we have two baptisms marked for this Saturday that are both referrals from the stake presidents family! 

Cris and André. André is the guy we play basketball with. He has his answer he just needs to recognize it and make the decision but this week he said he's gonna make his decision! 

Cris is firme! She is way awesome and has made lots of changes in her life! 

Yesterday we didn't have a whole lot of people in church because there has been some insane flooding going on here recently! 

A lot of houses are getting damaged and it's been pretty nuts! 

Miracle alert: so here in Brazil it's a law that all 18 year old boys have to enlist for a year of army but not all are called to serve. André just turned 18 and enlisted but we thought he wasn't gonna get called. He calls us and tells us that they called him to serve so he wasn't gonna be able to be baptized because he has to live in the army quarters for a couple months. We asked if there was any way he could get out but you get sent to jail if you don't serve. So we started praying a lot and fasting tons for something to happen for him to not get in and in the end after already having been in the army for 3 days they sent him out and said they wouldn't be needing him for no reason at all! 

I know the Lord hears our prayers and he blesses us after the trial of our faith!

The good part was that for his "farewell party" we ate lots of pizza

Yooo what's up everyone! 

So this week was super fun as always! Lots of fun memories made but the best part was definitely that Joel was finally baptized!!! 

It's so cool being a missionary because we can see the first moments of someone getting to know the church. We met Joel one day when Garlick and I were headed to the church. These two kids were biking down the hill and we stopped them to talk to us and 5 weeks later he was baptized! Way cool to see their conversion! 

We also went to the Temple this week with Andre to try and help him to make a decision about baptism! He has his answer but he is having trouble believing that it was his answer! 

We got to go on the day that our ward has assigned to the temple so we saw lots of them there too and had a superrrr spiritual lesson! 

We have been playing tons of basketball  recently!!! 

Life here has been way good! I have lots of pictures so hopefully that's more interesting because I have not much else to say tbh

Love you all!!

Wha'ts up crew! 

Life here is still way freaking good cause I'm still in Araucária and there is no such thing as a bad day in Araucária 

life here has been way fun recently and we have had lots of baptisms which is always a blessing. 

We have 4 more baptisms lined up for this week and they are all way sick people! 

This last week carnival ended and everybody came back from their travels so things are back to normal. This week we are gonna be taking people to the Temple to see it for the first time so that will be fun! 

This last week we had 3 baptisms here in araucária and they are all super excited about the church and are firmes e fortes! 

To be honest I don't have a whole ton to say but I have some pics so hopefully that's better wooo 

love you all!

HEY 

So first off big shoutout to the eagles for beating the patriots this weekend

But the real big news is this week we had two baptisms!! Kauã and Raphael!!

 It was way cool to see them baptized finally and we are way excited for them! 

So the first week of the transfer was pretty productive with the baptisms and finding people! 

Right after our baptism, one of our investigators that I taught 6 months ago called and asked what time church was and showed up saying he wants to be taught again!!! 

We are seeing lots of miracles here in our ward and I am just trying to make the most of it cause i know the day will eventually come when i will have to leave this ward which stinksssss but whatcha gonna do 

Elder Eddington from our ward had a baptism this week too so we are just killin it out here in Araucária 

We have been teaching some english classes recently!

Love you all!!!
