yo momma! im doing pretty well! So we have some elects really that we are working with right now. 

1. Sara is the sister of two other girls that were already baptized like a year ago. She has been a miracle!! Two weeks ago her sister told us that she said she didnt wanna be baptized in our church. But these past two weeks we have seen her progress like crazy! She is loving church on sundays and is super super firm. We visited her again today and she is set on getting baptized this sunday! its gonna be super special.

2. Alfredo is progressing a ton as well. He chose to go to church with us this week even tho he usually goes to another church with his mom on the last week of the month. He is way good buds with the young men in our ward. it is awesome to see them all together. We will go there tomorrow to try to firm us his baptism for sunday as well. Hoping for the best!!

3. Cristina is another miracle from our english class who showed up alone to church. We set a baptismal date with her for this sunday as well. She moved an appointment she had to saturday so she could go to church on sunday! She is awesome an dwe will try to work with her family as well!

4. Lastly Bruno didnt work out this week sadly. He kinda flaked on sunday. But he has already called us a ton of times and i think he is kinda iffy. But we were just super super straight with him and we will see tomorrow with him as well. Seems like we will be able to work something out.

SO MAYBE 4 BAPTISMS THIS WEEK!! WOOOHOOOO It will be going out with a bang if i were transferred next week. But i think i honestly wanna stay, even with a tougher companion. 

i still have the dots. i have no idea what they are. i think maybe an allergy to deodorant or something. But i talked with sister ribeiro and she said if they stay she will help to mark an appointment. But she just said to look for the source in a few things. im not too worried about them tho. 

sounds like you guys had a good thanksgiving. im happy abby was well taken care of even if greggs family was there lol. But yeah that sounds tough with chelsey. Its tough that she cant even take her meds! 

ok yeah im kinda bummed now about this whole vacation thing when i get home!! im sad parkers family has already marked it off. so idk i wanted to go to a beach so bad before heading to school. It would have been a freaking blast with the four families. And for thanksgiving and christmas everything just gets way more expensive so idk if itll even work out then. 

1 month my nigs!!! its gonna be awesome!

Thats sad about the house mom. im sorry. 

i was reading in my scriptures this week and found a scripture i think could help you its 3 nephi 6 13

13 Some were lifted up in pride, and others were exceedingly humble; some did return railing for railing, while others would receive railing and persecution and all manner of afflictions, and would not turn and revile again, but were humble and penitent before God.  

I know it seems like sometimes we are hit with one thing after another. But i know always being humble and submitting to Gods will will do nothing but good for us. I know it will all work out in the end momma!

Major changes in the mission!!!!! We are getting smartphones soon!! first mission in ALL of south america! We are running the test drive. Its gonna be wayyy limited to start off what we can do but we will see where it ends up in a few months. I dont thikn ill see too much of it during my mission.

Also im not gonna lie to you, but our internet time was cut to 1 HOUR this week on pdays. Its a thing all of the missions are doing together in brazil. Its super sad honestly. Im gonna have to strive more to be better at this but i know its something im just not good at. Ive learned to be so so obedient here on the mission but this is always one thing ive struggled with. But ill try to be a little faster.

Love you momma!
