Good Bye to February

Minha Amada Familia,

Things continue to go fantastic here in the beautiful city of Guarapuava!!
We are working hard and the time is flying by!! the month of February
came and went like nothing! We had an awesome sacrament meeting
last week in the branch and we were able to bring lots of investigators.
A patriarch came and spoke and also one of the counselors of the
Missão Brasil Curitiba. It had been a while since i read through my
blessing but i was reminded with the great talk that the patriarch gave.
The patriarchial blessing is pretty amazing and if you really try to
understand it and live by it lots of blessing are sure to come.

We are working with a family right now that is really enjoying the
church and we got a fun family nite set up for this week.
Gabriel is already set for baptism and he is really excited, The little bro
would love to be baptized also but we had to explain to him that until
he is 8 he doesn't need to be baptized. The mom is doing her best to
get to the ready point so she can also be baptized. We're doing our
part so that she can be baptized with her son.
Nothing better than a family baptism!

I thought that was really cool that Connie Owen and Angela Rivera are serving!
Good stuff!!! Do you know were they are serving? Just about every week
now there is going to be a few coming home from the graduating class of 2007.
I think that Matt and Justin aren't too far from getting home now also.

We are actually not to close to São Paulo so the earthquake didn't reach us
here but it sounds like it did some damage. That is a huge quake 8.8.

So Kam and Rob are tearing up the court this winter huh...I'm excited to
get home and play with them a little. Its been quite a while since
I've shot hoops. I'm stoked to do the alumni tourney here in a few years
with all the guys.

Mom, when does school start at USU? When is high school
graduation for Ty? i know that i'm gonna miss it by just a few days but
it's gonna be cool to catch him fresh out of school!! Not to far away..
I love you guys!
Have a great week!!!
