Week of March 18th

hey fam
the week went by really good and surprisingly fast!! the baptisms went really well and Ednilson and Ariani are so happy to be members of the church now. after the baptism the ward threw a little wedding party for them and there was a live band with one of the irmãos in the ward. the music was really fun and even though i wasnt able to cut a rug on the dance floor it was really fun to watch the whole ward dance and have fun. the brazilians know their dancing!!
it was my zone's turn to go to the temple this week so today we spent all day there. it was really good like always and the session went really good. i always like to go into the baptismal room and look at all the pretty paintings and stuff. the temple is beautiful!
i got the letter with the pictures of stokes all remodeled. it is so much different, wow! the town is gonna change a lot probably by the year 2010.
i was thinking that trent's wedding was gonna have the cowboy theme. i bet dad fit right in with the levi 501´s. that's awesome that they are happy and things are going well for them. i cant believe that my buddy that i grew up with is married!!! crazyness!!! he really did like her a lot when i was still home and i figured that they would get married before i got home. i got the wedding anouncement in the mail.
the missionaries, im sure, would be glad to do a family home evening with the fam, mom. we love to get references from members. work on getting that all set up for them.
sounds like ty had a good time at the girls choice dance. if they took pictures, you need to send me some when ya get them. ty with his hair all slicked back like elvis and what not, thats a fun theme to have for a dance..
elder da cruz got his hymn book and he really liked it. he told me to tell you thanks.
im excited to get the new package. sounds like there will be some good stuff in it.
i love you guys and im glad to here that all is going well. keep working hard!!
