Three Baptisms on Saturday!

So this week went a lot better. We got a record 4 people to church and have three people we will baptize on Saturday! Our guy Hector from Sao Paulo who is here working has been going for the last three weeks by himself and has been really hard to teach him because of his work schedule and when we taught him in his home is was full of cigarette boxes and so we new that would be a problem. But he has been going and told us he has a desire to be baptized and so Sunday we taught him the word of wisdom and we had in mind stealing all his cigarettes and he then told us that those were all empty boxes and he had smoked those a long time ago and that he just wanted to keep them to show how much money he wasted on them, he said he knew they weren’t good for him and that he quit a few months ago. We were so thrilled and told him his baptism is this Saturday and he’s excited for it all.

The other two is a lady that we did a huge service project with the ward in painting their house and the Relief Society cleaned it and was really nice because she just had a baby, making 6 kids and helped to reactivate her family. They’re now coming to church and her husband stopped drinking and they are improving. So anyways we were talking to them and come to find out she tells us that when her husband was baptized that she wasn’t because she had had a cast on her arm and wasn’t able to be baptized at the time. So we checked the records in the church to see if she was there and she isn’t so we are going to baptize her and her daughter. Her name is Sandra and her daughters name is Saria. So this should make for a good end to this transfer in our area.

Today we went to two different museums and took lots of pictures of some of the things here in my area. Then me n Elder Lundgreen went to McDonalds and ate lunch and found out that they opened up the new Subway here so we will be going there next week. Tomorrow is our conference with Elder Didier and then Saturday we are doing another service project of painting a member’s garage.

It hasn’t rained too hard lately, but it does rain here and there everyday and every night. But everytime it rains hard our street floods like in those pictures and is cool to watch. I know you would like me to write more, but my weeks are the same stuff every week and not much changes. So just know that I love you all and if anything crazy happens you’ll be sure to know about it. Send the Huber’s my love and will be sure to pray for them. Things are all going good and am excited of course to be hitting my year mark in Brazil in a few weeks here!

K well Love you all, Brian
