2nd Area: Cidade Verde
2nd Companion: Elder Firmo
well i dont have much time this week to write but things are pretty good. i got a few letters at a zone meeting this week and if there are any more waiting for me i will get them this friday at MISSION CONFERENCE. i am excited. thanks for the pictures of the kids on halloween. i can't believe riggs went as a missionary haha what a stud that is so cool. i guess me and him wore the same costume on halloweeen. happy birthday to shalae this week, and do our dear majerle dog. rest his soul.
this is the last week of the transfer and i am 99% sure that either myself or elder firmo will get transferred. so by the time i email next week i might be in a new area already. i am hoping to go to joão pessoa but i will be happy with whatever. we are hitting a lot of stumbling blocks with our investigators. it's tough. satan works really hard on those learning the gospel and the tactics he uses are very inconvenient. every time we are reading scriptures with our people or watching a church dvd, right before the most powerful spiritual part, the phone always rings without fail. or someone pounds on the door or something. always when people are preparing the whole week to go to church, something always happens sunday morning: a disaster, sickness, etc. its ridiculous. especially with preparing for baptism- stuff gets in the way so we have to work really hard to have everything turn out perfect. paulo has been in the hospital so his teaching has been delayed and the others there are lots of things but we are sure to baptize camilla and alvoro this sunday which is stake conference. they are prepared and i am excited, and the mom, aparecida, is coming to church and doing everything so its working out great. they love us, everytime we´re over there they give us cake and stuff and wanna see pictures of our family and friends. they are such an awesome family and i wanna work more with the dad but he works a ton so he is never around. so if i´m not transferred i will try to work a lot with him.
brasil is the home of the biggest lizards on earth and we have been finding them in our house too. its hot but i love cidade verde and the members here and the work is going really well.

looks like both our boys may be at new addresses next week.
i appreciate the fact that brad almost always leaves us with a spiritual thought.
Brad is learning such hard lessons and has such a great attitude.
