O Fim Se Aproxima

Today will be brief, haha
Happy birthday mom!
Happy birthday Spencer!!!
You guys rock!

So this week I got to watch the lidership council. I feel pretty bad for Elder de Jesus, He's taking care of two areas, and being zone leader alone. He's stuck in trio until the missionary from argentina gets here and I go to Rio Verde to help him out.

I'm super excited two work with him, but I'm also super excited working here!!! FINALLY we're getting things going here, everybody's baptizing this month and we've got two more baptismal dates for the 22nd! Member Referrals!! and our last baptism this saturday was a member Referral also!!!

We baptized Jhonny and Luciana, they are golden. When Jhonny was baptized he gave me a hug, we walked to the bathroom and he said "Now... I'm Mormon!!!" hahaha.

Other crazy things that happened. We got the wrong bus getting back from Goiania and we decided to sleep in my house since it was closer. We were super tired and carrying all the packages for the other missionaries in the zone. I didn't have a key, so we  visited our neighbor, borrowed his ladder and climbed the wall of our house to break in for the 2nd time this year!

What else... oh, on the bus back from goiania I started talking to the lady in the seat next to me, turned out she wasn't interested. But while I was talking to her I noticed the people around us were listening, so I distributed pamphlets for all of them to read during our 6 hour bus ride. I thought it was cool that even though my neighbor wasn't interested, my talking to her got  my message out to more people.

I love some verses I read in Romans this week. Chapter 8

Thanks for all your love and prayers!
Love you,
Elder Wallace


31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, whocan be against us?

 32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

 33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth.

 34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

 36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

 37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Here are fotos of our baptism this week Luciana luzia de almeida, and Jhonny otavio silva da costa.

I ate squash at Joao Gomes and Neidimar's house.

Love,
Elder Wallace
