Boa Tarde,



So this week was good, but as normal it was a race of a week….


So mega, your questions I totally lost, sorry! It wasn’t my plan but I have like a million papers I'm always going "they're here a week so..." its hard to keep track.

So this week we are are getting a lot of help from the members. The work is running so fast, here and it is a really good example for my compannion to see how things are supposed to be working with members so he has a model for the rest of his mission. The things he is learning will be really good to help him work with members, and how to be a good missionary.

Life is good for me here really excited to keep doing the Lords, work especially now that my time is very limited here.

Love Elder Linford

Dear Family,

It has recently come to my attention that my emails have not been very comprehensive, for that I am sorry for those of you who had problems understanding them.

So this week we started teaching 2 people I would like to talk about.
1. Gilza, she is a reference from a member, and before we could ask her about baptism, she asked to be baptised she is really a prefect investigator, I'm really looking forward to her baptism.
2. is Val, he is a husband and father of a family. We had lunch at their house and were giving the lunch message when out of the blue, I felt the need to ask him if he liked general conference,(I didn´t even see his family there) and his answer was even more shocking when he said "you know what I did, I truly felt like God was talking to me though those men." so to end that long story we will be baptising him very soon as well!

so that is my weekly update on the teaching side of life!

We had zone conference last Friday, and at zone conference the mission received cell phones.(well ld, lz already had them but now everyone does) so that was good news, because well it is rather expensive to call a cell phone from a pay phone here in Brazil. I also had the privilege of teaching a Gospel topic for everyone with scissors, it was really funny, because Elder Cooper and I had about 1 minute to come up with something, but it worked out well.

So general conference was really great. I really loved it. There were some really"firey" talks and a lot of "burning" from the Apostles it was a really great spiritual experience! Well I think that's about it I´m going to go if any of you have any question just send them.



Love you all
Elder Linford

ELLO family!

So things are good for me here in Brazil.

This week was really a good week, on the side of spirtual experiences well I really don't have one to share this week, but I do have some funny stories of the week!

So yesterday we came home and my comp went downstairs to eat. I hear"elder come here quick RUN!!" I went running and did not know what the heck was going on. I get down there and he yells theres a rat in that back corner! I said you are kidding right???
Well he wasn't so we shut the door to the room, because well you have to kill it or else he keeps coming back!

so we were building a wall to trap him and he sees all this so he takes off. Well I try and stomp on him but he got away but i managed to kick him some how and he went air born and hit the wall. He fell but wasn't dead but couldn't move either, then the rest you don't need to know, but that was a "welcome to Brazil" moment for you all!


So last week we were at lunch and my comp. asked the family the famous question. "do you need help with anything?" (a very dangeous question I have learned) well she said well no, unless you can fix my iron, before I could say anything he says"oh my comp can fix almost anything bring it here".....of course I'm left thinking what is your problem.. well there was just a lose wire in the iron so it was okay. The only problem, sisters talk and well wouldn't you know it now every where I go they say "hey elder can you fix my..... yeah so I'm getting to know the insides of a lot of things lately lol its kinda fun tho beacuse as you know I like taking thinga apart!

well yeah thats about it for my week!!!

untill next week
