So my camera isn't uploading today, but i will send you guys the pictures
from the baptism next week. We baptized a couple and her son and grandson came
to the baptism. We will start teaching them very soon! My recording talks a lot
about this week we had and the success in our area. I love what we are doing and
i realized a cool lesson today while cleaning dust from my wardrobe and mold
from our walls... (yes i am serving in brazil) Happiness comes in all kinds of
forms. YOu don't have to smile to be happy, you don't have to cry to be feeling
the spirit, and you don't have to be perfect to be inspired. I love this work,
it is exhausting, frustrating, disheartening, Arduous, looooooong, but above
all, it is rewarding. My companion and i are really working hard, and really
trying to do our best. This transfer has been the best of my mission and good
news, we are staying for one more transfer! So we will be here 6 more weeks. And
then i will probably leave because i already have 3 1/2.
I am so glad landon and addi moved close to you guys. and it is so good to
hear that you guys are doing family night! In Elders quorum the 1st counselor
talked about the importance of the family. He said that your wife is not YOURS
and the children are not your possesions. Heavenly Father entrusted you with His
children. He went on the bear testimony of family night and loving your wife. My
whole world is changing out here ya know? FAmily night, the temple, scripture
study, home teaching, callings, and much more. All the little things are SO
IMPORTANT! and i am really grateful that i can see that and that i am learning.
I love you guys so much!
Landon- Daily scripture study with Addi with change your life and
strengthen your marriage like nothing else.
Brady- Keep studying the book of mormon. Jesus the christ, marvelous work
and a wonder, miracle of repentance... all these books can wait! President

build him up.
Lexi- Celeste replied. what up! haha. Don't forget what you felt and
