i sent you a package with the area code 93619. ya i know its wrong but thats because like spongebob ive forgot everything except baptism. please corect it if you can. i gave dad the info.
send me cds of church music please and also the joseph smith movie thats an hour long please.
and now to the week. so i was sick this week and i went to the doctor. they gave me drugs i dont know whtat they are but they do something to me. i taught a lesson while i was on one of these pills and could not function. they knock me out. i fell asleep during the opening prayer for 2 maybe 3 seconds then when it came my turn to teach i had this scripture in my head i was going to share and then out loud i said another, then when i searched for the scripture i was on the page of the verse but i couldnt find the verse. i was trippin hard mom haha, i started talking because i didnt know what to do, and then no words came to my mind, so i remember looking at the doorknob for a solid 5 second pause and the whole time i was thinking, ´´i dont know whats going on´´ haha after my comp couldnt stop laughing and he told me that i wasnt making sense and that my eyes were barely open when i spoke and then i paused forever. so i dont take those 4 different medications at the same time anymore.
my comps a miracle and he puts us all to shame. his sister isnt active anymore and his parents are dead. his mother from a sickness and his father was working on a house 2 years ago and it all colapsed on him and killed him. his grandparents are dead so all he has is his sister and her husband. and she has denounced the church after she married her non member husband, suprise, so he has no one and yet here he is serving a mission. i was thinking about him and how hes exactly the people i wanna surround myself with the rest of my life. i thought back to people i know back home that would even have a thought of not serving, and i felt immense shame to think that here he is, just some poor brazilian from petropolis, no parents or family that supports him and yet he never went innactive or had doubts of serving.
well as of right now hes the miracle i have but i need another one because we have no one we can baptize this saturday. its times like this that have me questioning myself, where is my faith?
elder richard g. scott said in a talk once, ´´ spend a couple hours on your knees, itll do ya good.´´ i think i need to spend a couple hours on my knees.
LOVE YOU ALL, ESPECIALLY CAMBRIA

Letter To Dad
what do we do for general conference weekend!?
we find a member with a van and literally get as many people as we can that want to listen to the prophet and apostles. its one of the best times of the year because people can firsthand see and hear the prophet and apostles we talk of and since every investigator needs two times in the church to be baptized this counts as one also. but the important thing is that its saturday also so that counts. so if someone cant make it to church sunday this week, great! we can watch conference with them for one hour on saturday and baptize them the next sunday. so we basically have to sundays this week and our goal is to get between us two companionships in my area to have 25-30 people watch this week then baptize as many as we can next sunday. ive got high hopes for next sunday but as of now we have no one to baptize this sunday. one family we have were all tired and said theyd come next sunday and the other the dad said they never wanna see us again because they wanna be catholics forever. this guy speaks about how catholic they are when him and his family havent been to church in 10 years! its people like that that we have to cut literally because they have become prideful and they cant understand anything we teach because they dont want to. anyways im working really hard, and if it means anything the weather has been better here so while your at the beach just remember that i only sweat when im sprinting a half mile to return home at nine thirty because were trying to get every minute we can preaching the gospel and we cant break our curfew. you cant have the spirit with you if you break the rules, and you cant baptize if you dont have the spirit. VAMOS LA BATIZAR PAI
o ya i sent you all a package also but i put the wrong area code on it by accident. our area code is 93611 and i put 93619 but everything else is right so i dont know if it will still make it but if you can please check up on it for me, the number for it is RE536036575BR i sent it through the post office here its called ´´correios´´ it has really cool things in it and im sure your going to want it. please please please check up on it. have fun at malibu.
