So President Prieto and the assistants were out here for a day and a half, he gave a presentation on the Origin of the Book of Mormon. It was great and I think some of the members are more excited.
This month we have 5 Baptismal dates and We're looking for at least 2 more!
Anna and Raissa, Anna lived in the US for 9 years. She was at a party in Rio de Janeiro and met a guy at a party. They didn't speak eachother's languages but got a translater and became good friends, He brought her to the US, paid for english lessons, and she was like a second mother to the kids. Raissa is her adopted daughter. Anna is super super super nice and takes care of everyone that she comes into contact with. She's sent us home with food more than once.
Eliene and Alessandra. Wow these girls are part of a family that we call Eleitos do senhor! They loved the church loved the first lesson we gave and accepted to be baptised. Last night we found out that they'll be sending the girls to Goiana.
I miss the temple and healthy families. It's hard to see people suffering in families because of decisions that one person made. It's a sacrifice to pay to get maried legally and a huge deal to get to the temple, 3 days by car and lot's of people don't have a car. let alone the time or money to get there.
Man we are so lucky.
The language is starting to feel a lot more natural!
So... Last week we were looking at the waterfalls, we were on a trail and I was last. One of the first two missionaries Hit a tree with a wasps nest or something and they started coming down on Elder Falcao and me. We're talking Giant monster Jungle Wasps. Bigger than your head! Well maybe not that big. Anyway kinda funny Elder Falcoa and I were yelling and swatting, we escaped almost unscathed, they got me in the back and him on the arm a couple times.
Love you tons
Elder Wallace
