HI ALL WORLD!(tudo mundo)

So this was a really bad week, it was raining cats and dogs the whole week, which makes it hard to find new investigators, but we prayed a lot for a really great Saturday and we had it... man it was a really good day found lots of people and taught a lot, to the fact we had 6 people at church Sunday. Just to have it al thrown away!

Yeah so why thrown away well I’ll tell you a little story (with names changed of course)
So Member A, has a niece who is dating Member B, now member B is or was inactive, we taught him and he is coming back to church changing his life, but he spent like 8 years of his youth away from the church so he is still learning some stuff, so when member A(who already has problems) start creating gossip about member B, and his girlfriend. Problems started.
Well really long story short member A, confronted member B after church in the parking lot and started screaming while member B, told him to calm down when he wouldn’t he said okay I’m leaving. member A, then as a joke, lightly tapped his face, member B then started to beat up member A, in which other members broke up and everyone saw, and now no one wants to learn more about the church….

SO yeah I’m great. The weather is getting better a lot better, and yeah I’m really excited for transfers Sunday!!!!

Well that’s about all the excitement you can take in for one week until next week

EU ama vocês

YouTube Video

Here is what the video says:

You are the proof that love still exists!

Because you are loved!

You know why?

You are love!

I love you my son!

FYI A member of the ward is a Policeman and gave the elders the vests and a gun without the clip to play act...boys will always be boys!!!

Alma chapter 37: 6 “Now ye may suppose that this is foolishness in me; but behold I say unto you, that by small and simple things are great things brought to pass; and small means in many instances doth confound the wise.”

Hi everyone!
So this week was good. Nothing really new happened, it rained for 6 days straight never stopping that was really annoying because no one lets you in when its raining or hears you when you call them! (because no has door bells)

We played soccer today and it was it got a little rough but not too bad.
The weather here is pretty awesome. It's in the 20’s here so that’s awesome! Not hot or cold!

Yeah so I’m all peachy here, hahaha so funny story well not really funny story something that just made me feel really good about my portuguese. So the first new group of Americas showed up here in our mission since me, and they are lost!!!! lol, It was the same when I first arrived. I know I had at zone conference it was really awesome because I got to see how far I’ve come with my portuguese!

Well other then that I mailed home some pictures, if you didn’t get them sorry ask mom for them.

Love steven
