Week 58!

hey all you people out there who are reading this email,

 

i'm doing quite fantastic!  this week was SUPER QUICK and was pretty cool as well!  first off, we had General Conference which was freaking SWEEEEEEEEET!!!!  i absolutely loved the sunday morning session because every talk was perfect for our investigators!  they really did feel the spirit during that session!  HEY cool story that was a total miracle.  yesterday we were planning before general conference because here the first session started at 2:00 P.M. so we were trying to plan for finding investigators and what we need to do.  we very quickly realized that we have barely any investigators now because they have all been dropped or baptized.  so i we were praying like none other trying tyo figure out what we should do to find these people, we all of the sudden had the feeling that we needed to call one of our contacts that we did like a month ago that we tried calling quite a few times but never answered the phone in the past.  it was a super weird feeling for me because i was like "we've already tried calling him and it's probably a wrong number"  but we called him to invite him to the conference and HE CAME!!!  it was soo cool because before the conference he was talking to us about how he wasn't that big of a believer in crist or in god and to have to believe he would have to have lots of reason to have that decision! and guess what???  that whole session was like logical and reasonable things about this church!  he was totally in awe and was understanding total!  his name is Jorge, he's about 25 years old and he's studying to try to be a elementary school teacher.  he totally doesn't look like the normal school teacher, he'ss got:a goatee, lots of scruff, wears old school rock t-shirts, skinny jeans, and tons of bracelets!  haha but he seams like a super cool kid and i think that he will progress far in the gospel.  Noelia is also going freaking awesome!  she went to three sessions of general conference and kept asking us about the prophet and baptism and what it's like.  right now she has a baptismal date for the 15th and we're praying and working as hard as we can to get her to baptism.  so that's pretty much all that's going on in these parts.  hey these pics are of us playing soccar in Brazil as a District, the baptism of Pamela with her Aunt, and a district picture the last district meeting of the change.

 

thanks for everything and luvs all around,
