Sharing in São Paulo: New Family!

Cool I loved hearing it's good in Eagleville! I loved it there! I´m doing great here! That´ll be interesting coming back to a different ward, but it's in the Lord's hands.... I´m pretty sure the singles branch is in Murfreesboro, huh? but ya it's REALLY hot here! Haha! Man, I think it´ll be hotter than last year, and last year we had to be at the church from 2-4 o'clock! But ya I´m not missing the cold. I love being able to work in the heat! At first the laziness hit hard - especially after lunch, but after I got accustomed to it, it's great!

This week was awesome! We found a family that's really golden! We were walking the road and I saw a lady with her little son and I felt that I should talk to her.....so I did! I asked, "What's your name?" and she tried to say it holding back tears, then just cried. (I hate when they do that as a missionary cause you want to touch them.) She explained to us that she was having a lot of difficulty with her husband (actually boyfriend but that's Brazil). She´s got his baby coming, too. So we actually found her last year (Dec. 30) and talked to all of them better this week. It's so cool, though, because they´re totally letting the gospel change their lives because of the New Year's resolutions that they had made! And so now we're teaching Rogerio and Daniela and their family! We´re going to the cartório (registry) to mark their wedding! He´s gotten a lot better and doesn´t hit her anymore, and they`re excited! He´s so cool, though. He reminds me of the "Fast and the Furious." Like his life use to be racing for money and pinks! haha And Rogerio is the Dominic of the group, ya know? I love teaching them because they aren´t with that evangelical background and so they´re giving their answers how they think and not the preacher's!

This week Is gonna be AWESOME and full of Miracles!

P.S. I was actually released as a District Leader this last week to be able to help my companion who is going through some struggles. Oh by the way can, you see about sending me shoes? I gave my good pair to my comp because his feet are being destroyed by his shoes he bought. If not, we´ll figure something out... but If we have a cheaper way to get them, that´d be great!
