i will be short this week, but everything is really good, we brought some investigators to church yesterday that hopefully we can mark their baptisms for this week. things were great with Dayane, we were preparing her for this weekend to be baptized but unfortunately she didn't pass her baptismal interview.... i think she has some word of wisdom problems so we´ll see how we can help her out this week.

my new son´s name is Elder P. Silva, he is from são paulo and he´s a big guy but really quiet. he doesnt know how to talk to people but i kinda feel bad for him cuz he is having a really tough time adjusting to the heat here and all the walking and stuff. training a brazilian is a lot different than an american but i hope i can be a good father and help him through his difficulties..... those first few weeks of the mission are the hardest of all time!

the work is rolling forward here and everyone is healthy and well.

whats this i hear about big G getting married already? someone better send me an invitation and a piece of the cake. congrats G. but it looks like our bachelor days are a thing of the past. oh well, we are all on to bigger and better things.

a great week to all!
