Hi mommy!!! So this week was pretty good! sortof... ha we went to recife 2 times. which made us spend more money.. but we had a good conference haha so this week we thought wed have like 3 baptisms marked... but that didnt happen.... we had a lot of good moments and dumb frustring moments too... for example we have an awesome investigator who has a strong testimony of the book of mormon! hes seriously the best... but ... this week... while we were walking back home.. we found him in the street... super drunk.... and he started talking to us.. and stuff like that.... and it made us really sad that he was super super super drunk... but it was kindof funny at the same time... cause he was bearing his testimony about the book of mormon... haha and like quoting the book of mormon and he was quoting the bible ... ha at least he has a testimony even when hes completly drunk! haha so i cant send pictures... cause my memory card isnt formated... at if i format it now.. all of my pictures are gonna get earased.... so im gonna try to buy a flash drive to save all those pictures.. and then format it to send pictures! you guys should send me pictures too!!!!!!! i really want to see you guys! and everything!!! oh mom.,.. so your gonna be so proud of me.... I can paint my nails now!!! yay!!! haha and it doesnt look too horrible up close! haha but anyways... I was studying in the book of mormon.. in the book of alma and i think its like one of my favorite stories in the book of mormon... when ammon teaches o rei lamôni!! ha i would like for you guys to read it during your study of the book of mormon Alma chapter 18- 24 its an awesome story! oh and this week during our district meeting i was asked to give the message.. and whichever doctrine i wanted.. so i chose faith. and something that i liked alot was something i found en o Guia das escrituras. y dize que os milagres nao producen fe,.. pero a fe produz milagres. i liked that alot..  cause if you really think about it.. it would take a miracle for a person to keep that faith! then i also studied matthew 14 when cristo walks on water. to share during my message! well thats pretty much it...!! I love you guys!!!!

   Hi mommy!!!!! so this week... was a bit hard... we have found alot of people to teach... but when it comes to going back and teaching them... they are either not home... or just not interested... :( oh well... were still working really hard! so we had kindof a crazy experience... so there a recent convert here and weve been teaching his granddaughter... and one day we stopped by and we were talking there... and he was like telling us that he was leaving the church that he didnt want to be part of it... cause he had to save his marriage.. and then his wife comes out (and shes kindof a scary person)and she starts yelling at him... and telling us that he is a horrible husband.. it was honestly really scary... but thank goodness that my companion and i felt like we should take someone with us to teach that lesson.. we asked a member to go with us... her name is Rosangela! she is amazing! she such a sweet person! so she went with us... and she was amazing! she was the one doing all the talking and helping the situation get better! my companion and i didnt know what to say or do... but rosangela like saved the night... and then after the lesson her and her husband took us out to eat pizza! it was funny cause our lunch appointment couldnt give us lunch that day... and we didnt have any food at home.. and we were starving.. and we had prayed that we wouldnt feel hungry... and then they took us out to dinner! it was an awesome day! sortof... were still working with João to go back to church. Oh and on saturday ... we woke up and our whole house was flooded... It sucked! We dont know how it flooded ... but it did! oh well! haha did you guys see the pictures I sent ? oh President and sister bigelow have a facebook page you can follow ... I dont know the name of it ... but you can look! haha well I love you guys so much! say hi to everyone for me! Everyone!!!! haha

love you!!!
