Brazil is good.

Things are going well in Brazil. We had a mission tour this last week. Elder Godoy of the 70 gave us some training. He talked about traps missonaries fall into with teaching. It was good. We had to go into Ribeirao Preto, so we took the 4 hour bus ride the night before and stayed with the office Elders. The next day the bus home wasnt until 630 so we got home really late. We have a few more people interested in baptism. Leonardo´s mom is really interested. She loves the change that has happened to him over the last few weeks. She was at family home evening the other day and came to church yesterday. We have another investigator named Gustavo. We teach him quite a bit and this last time his uncle came in while we were teaching the plan of salvation. His grandma comes and goes during our lessons and she was there also. His uncle asked how he could get to the celestial kingdom so Elder Davis told him we could tell him 5 things that will get him there and asked if we could come back and teach him the 5 things. (Faith, repentence, baptism, gift of the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end) So we came back and set a baptism date. The grandma might be interested also. At the end of the lesson we they fed us dessert and while we were eating a teenager walks in with a Book of Mormon in his hand! It was crazy. Elder Davis and his previous companion had given it to him a long time ago and havent seen him since. He is Gustavo´s cousin. So we started talking to him and invited him to church. He was there yesterday and really liked it. We bought matching ties last p-day and snuck one into Leonardo´s backpack during family home evening. We wrote our names on it and the date of his baptism. We didnt tell him we had some also, so we all showed up to church yesterday with matching ties. It was fun. He also passed the sacrament for the first time and bore his testimony. He is super awesome and plans on converting his entire family. He is also counting down until he can serve a mission. 3 years and 9 months. We have another investigator who wants to be baptized and he has been working towards it. He is really close and we just need to finish a few things and get him to have some time off from work. Soccer is huge here and I havent picked a team yet. Everyone always asks which team you like. I promised this young man that if he gets baptized soon, I will pick the Corintians, his favorite team. We have started an English class and meet once a week. Thats is a lot of fun. I learn more portuguese as I try to teach Brazilians English. Its really cool. Well, things are busy. We hope to have some baptisms in the near future and hope to keep finding more people to teach. I will talk to you all later. Tchau!
