How is everyone?!!?

So great week this week! We had 2 more baptisms! Our group will soon be a branch! We have been teaching a ton!

I am loving it here in Brazil! I can´t wait until i can speak fluently. Most of the time people understand me. Then sometimes i get a person when i ask them a question like this...

-----------------------------------------------------

Person: Where are you from?

Me: Guess! :)

Person: ahhh Cool!

Me: ..........................Guess!

Person: Huh? (He is still talking to me?)

Me: Guess where i am from... (Friend of the person says what i am saying in a slightly better accent).

Person: OOHHHH! Argentina?

Me: Oo

Me: Eu Sou Dos Estados Unidos.

Person: Oh Cool!.................. Ummm.......... Can I have a picture with you?

Me: Of Course!

Person: Awesome Thanks!

Me: Can We Teach You?

Person: Yes! :D

Bam Pesquisador!

Yea that happens about everyday. Its fun! I love it! We had dinner with the only active member here. He was a Stake President. We talked about how churches down here have strayed off from the path so much. I got a 3 min recording of a guy screaming at 250 people about jerusulem and the city of corinthians. I understand about 8 words. But it was pretty interesting... we got invited to the EFY for another church. It was 3 day church thing during carnival. We went on the last day for 1 hour. It was very interesting. The Spirit was not there but everyone in the crowd thought it was. They began screaming back. Scared me a bit but i recovered. ;)

I have learned how to make a ton of food. I love making Pastels for our house.

I love Jeff R Holland I have been listening to some talks by him.
