Here are some pictures from yesterday (sunday) after church we went
to the house of a member and spent the afternoon helping his family and talking.
Then out of no where he was like "do you wanna see my pet monkey" and i was like
"YES' (way to excited, as you can tell in my face when i am shaking the monkeys
hand) we shot guns, and picked fresh fruit off of the tree and just having the
best time ever! He has a grandma who is 87 years old, and her birthday is one
day after mine, and she LOVED ME. she spent 30 mintues talking to me and then
kept holding my hand while we were talking around the house. She is so cute, she
doesnt speak or hear really well, but she would clap her hand and point at me.
and then laugh and laugh. It was a good sunday afternoon after a slightly
stressful morning of getting people to church! :)
also on this email i think there is a picture of us and a recent convert Senhor José! He is great and this week i sat next to him at church and he was looking at a little kid who was there and has about 2 years old. He had tears in his eyes when he said to me "this little boy will never realize how blessed he is to be raised in the gospel. I would have given anything to have known the truth sooner, but now i am just thankful to be here now" I had tears in my eyes when i thought of how greatful I am to have been raised in the truth, and how thankful I am that I will also raise my children the same way my parents raised me. After I told him that one day, that little boy will serve a mission and help other people learn the truth too, Senhor José got really happy after that. I have a special place in my heart for Senhor José, he reminds me ALOT of my Grandpa Hernandez, I even think they have the same eyes.
Oh how greatful I am so be a missionary! :)

This week was great! We started off Monday with a family night at a
house of people we are teaching! It went so good, and then the spirit was so
strong! Then this sunday we had a bunch of them at church! We brought one of our
Recent Converts along, Victoria, and she said the prayer at the end and took
time to bless every single person there like 10 times. it was so sweet. I love
her faith!
This week we had Zone Conferance again! It was great! there was a member of the 70 there to talk to us, and then we all had to do a pratice inviting someone to get baptised! When I did mine it was in front of our mission president and i ALL the missionaries that were around were walking because the President was there. Now i speak portuguese fine now, I can say anything I want to say. But I got SO MUCH stage fright. But once I began to speak the words just came and it was smooth and went perfect. After the president left my comp told me that she was praying for my the whole time not to get nervous and I spoke perfect. I love my comp, and i love the faith that she has in me! :)
This week we were knocking on doors in a really rich area, when a women invited us in to talk to her. She told us ALL about how she loves our church and how young adults go out into the world to speak the words of god. She gave us water and told us to come back, shes great! I hope all goes well with her! :)
This week also, we met a women and her granddaughter. She lived in the USA for 3 years, so when she saw me she just wanted to pratice a little bit of english. I spoke to her for a little bit and told her about he engish class we each every satuerday for free. She got super excited and invited us to meet her grand daughter (who was born in the USA) we invited them to church, and Jennifer the grand daughter really wanted to go, the grandma is super weird about her leaving the house alone. But she had TONS of faith in us and she let Jennifer come to church!! Jennifer loved it! loved young womens! i am super pumped to teach them!! :)
I know that the lord is here in this work. I seriously see his hand EVERYDAY. I love being a misisonary! :):)
This week I ate snake, baby birds, and goat.. WOW!
