Another great week!
Had a baptism yesterday. Actually 2, but one was the Sister´s. But I got to baptize them both! yeah!
Elder Carvalho is an awesome missionary from Curitiba (spelling? A city in the south). He is a recent convert but has a crazy knowledge about the Book of Mormon and Bible. Really a good working missionary!
We are teaching a family of 11. It's really quite hard to gather everyone´s attention but I love the challenges! We will baptize at least 3 next week, woo. They have a coconut tree in their backyard. I got to pick one and cut it open with a knife, drink the water and eat the flesh. One of my goals complete!
This week I have really been putting effort into my personal study. In the beginning of the mission it was hard because I didn´t understand Portuguese so personal study was slow. Now, I am "feasting" upon the words of Christ. Study time is one of my favorite times of the day!
Scripture of the Week: 2 Nephi 9:48: Imagine if we followed all the Lord´s commandments. What would be things holy?
Love

Fun fact: Brazil is crazy when it comes to soccer (the real football). I officially declare I cheer for Palmeiras! I know, it's a big deal haha
