well i dont know what to say about all the problems everyones having except the same things i tell my fold everyday, read the scriptures everyday and pray to God ferverently everyday. follow the commandments, in this there is safety, in this there is peace.
about the family specifically and whats happening with them financially and emotionally and spiritually all i can say is that it will only get worse. and it will only get better when they begin to obey the commandments of the Lord with exactness. to tell you the truth im a little scared myself for that home, because theres only one who has stood alone and followed the commandments and so he has and will continue to recieve blessings for this. honestly this life is so simple. keep the commandments, in this there is safety in this there is peace. He will send blessings, He will send blessings. i have one family that we are working with. they have two kids, there dirt poor, not married she had there first child at 16 and there second at 18, because they didnt learn the first time and guess what... because they dont keep the commandments of God they cant get food for kids because there father got layed off from his crappy job and now they have nothing. (We come into their lives, Elders Avilla and Parker) were running around to every member we can find asking for food for them so they can at least feed there two sons of 5 and 7 we preach to them keep the commandments they ask us what is this you speak of? we set a small goal for them, read one verse from the book of mormon together and after say a prayer together and youll recieve blessings. they do this everyday for 5 days, he was employed on wednesday!!!! they have money to pay for water, electricity and FOOD!!!! all because they showed forth a little effort, and they were rewarded. KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS, IN THIS THERE IS SAFETY, IN THIS THERE IS PEACE. HE HE HE HE HE WILL SEND BLESSINGS, HE WILL SEND YOU BLESSINGS. KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS. whatever President monson says goes.

thanks for everything dad.
about all those people that turn us away its about 99 out of 100 that turn us away. right now some cops just rolled in here and there searchin this whole place around me and i dont know what happened but its funny here cause everybody breaks the law but the cops dont do anything unless its something really serious like drugs or murder an stuff. but there all big guys and they are decked head to toe and travel in packs of 3 and they look like they could beat up a dozen guys at once. its funny to see the differences with there police and ours, for them, the other two that arent checking someone or doing the paperwork have to have guns drawn and in position to shoot anything that attacks. fingers on the trigger ready. even for just a traffic stop to check for a license everyone has there gun drawn. crazy huh. but im learning that for every 1000 people i talk to, 100 will let you teach them or have time, 10 of those 100 are serious about wanting to follow the example of Jesus and only about 1 of those 10 really actually have the desire just as the boy joseph to find whats true in this world. so its a lot of work. dang i dont know what happened around here but cops are going crazy right now, just another day in porta meira of foz do iguaçu. porta meira is the ghettoest part. but i love it! Good thing i listened to Tupac all those years so im not afraid of the ghetto, right dad?! haha love ya
