So Alegria

Hi Everyone,
We had a great week and it ended with a killer party with the whole ward and about 15 investigators!! and to top that off we had a baptism sunday!!! rejanes son, wagner, was baptized and now they are both members of the church. she is so happy and is really seeing the difference in her life already. the party was really fun and it reminded me a lot of our camp fires that we always had out back with everyone. we had a bon fire, cotton candy, music games and a drink called quintão! its hot grape juice with roots and apples and junk thrown in it. it is actually really goood and im looking to find the recipe to bring it home with me.
It has really cooled down this week and we are able to work hard with the nice breeze blowing on us. there are a lot of people sick here with the cold but so far im doing good and so is my comp.
We are going to move to a new apartment here next week that is really nice and its above a bakery so every morning were gonna have the nice smell of baked goods to get us going each day. we are the only missionarys that live in a wooden shack in the whole brazil curitiba mission but next week were gonna move into the new place.
We found a golden family this last week also that have been to church 2 times already and they love it!!! they accept everything that we teach and are preparing for baptism august 2nd. its an awesome family of 4.
Sounds like summer is really setting in for you guys and sad to say that it is already coming to an end. i cant believe that it is rodeo time already. it is the best time of year though.
Thats awesome that juds dc graduation got put in the paper!! i know that he is living the good life now with out all of that on his shoulders.
All the pictures that you send of ty, he is in a work shirt.... i take it that he is really working hard this summer. he will be done with high school before we know it!!!
Im so excited for arien and justins wedding!!!! its gonna be so awesome to be there for it. thats cool that they found them a little fixer uper house to get started on already. im pretty sure that i will be home before the 18 of june. usually the american missionarys go home a week before the arrival date because of the visa ordeal. so it should go all smooth.
Speaking of home, the veterans kolb and mike are already with the light at the end of the tunnel. craziness!!!!! Mom your gonna be in paradise here in a few weeks when the corn gets done!!! is dads corn with jim again this year?. these brazilians dont know the piece of heaven that they're missing with corn. they eat corn on the cob but i swear that it is the corn that we feed to our cows....
Im glad that dad is looking after the impala for me and keeping the harley up to speed this summer. i miss seeing dad cruisin down the streeet on the hog. i was really sad to hear that brady returned home. thats to bad!!
I love you guys and im so happy to hear each week that everything is going well and everyone is happy!!!
Só bênçãos!!!!!
I love you and have a great week!!
