1. A great week on the job
I'm super happy with how everything is working out here in Santa Marta! This week we were happy to see Luiz and Ferreira get baptized! It was my first baptism of an elderly(70), but teaching him was a fun experience! Luiz is Alessandro´s friend who´s been coming to church for a while, and he´s excited to receive the priesthood and go to the temple with the YM next month. We have a good group of people to teach so I'm a happy missionary!

2. Surprise house checks
On Wednesday morning we were doing our daily planning when we got a knock on the door- President & Sister Louza! They did a surprise house check and interviews, and everything was in order so we were happy! I´m always inspired by President Louza and his pure desire to follow Christ and help our mission. It´s a privilege to have them as my parents for these 2 years!

3. Family home evening
We've been doing a lot of family nights with our members to help befriend our converts and investigators. We put up a FHE calender in the church so that´s been useful. Monday the family Borba invited Roger & Marcieles family over and Thursday Daniel & Lidiane invited Luiz over. A short message, a fun activity, and food wins the hearts of everyone!

I´m incredibly grateful for the atonement of my Savior Jesus Christ. Through him we can overcome spiritual and physical death. I know that if we dedicate ourselves to study the Book of Mormon daily that the heavens will open to us!
