Date: July 09, 2012
Area: Arapongas

 Transfers are this week, New companion, but he is staying in Arapongas!

Mom,

ay dylan, ``go to church!´´ - Ice Cube

geez bass lake and the circus and a sunday jam packed with visits and an open house, lifes real tough these days

transfers happened, elder zioli went from regular missionary to zone leader this transfer. hes never even been district leader and he only has 8 months on the mission and president told him to day hes gonna be zone leader in maringá! YAAAA elder zioli!!! hes freakin out but i know that hes called by God for this position of leadership and hell do great. in the meantime im staying arapongas and my new companion is elder Luchman. hes american, hes from washington. hes really good i know him really well. hes been in apucarana for 6 months and hes just gonna travel ten minutes to good ol arapongas. but hes good, and we will baptize.

so everything still stands, packages to that one ladies house and letters to me. but just know that in six weeks i might be leaving so in about a month, dont send stuff.

no i dont have kotys letter


ive got a whole 8 giga byte memory card of videos and pictures to send to you but i need to recieve the other card first. so send it in the next package.

that money to cambria has no significance here now, its really old money they used to use. its worthless.

mandy huh...(brothers new girlfriend)

you sent that other box to the mission office, and the mail men here, if youre not there to sign for the package, then they just leave a note at your door saying come to the post office to pick up your package in a set amount of time. somedays we dont have anybody at the offic and the reason why sister tavares asks that no packages be sent to the mission office is because they dont have time to go get them at the post office, maybe once every two months. but the thing is that if you dont show up to pick it up in that set amount of time, then they charge a ridiculous fee to take the package out of holding, like 100 dollars. more then the package even costs. and the mission wont pay for it, so probably this happenend with that first package, its probably in the post office and no one will ever get it. our zone leaders are leaving again to londrina but if they dont have it this time to bring back, its been 3 and a half months and i think we can just forget about it. so whatever you put in that one, put it in this next one and mail it off this week. dont wait, dont send me an email this next week saying what do you want in it, just send it. pictures and reeses, the little bite sized ones, and the other chip. anything else you want to send you can but send it this week please. pictures of my baptism, so i can baptize children easier, pictures of beautiful woman, so i can say there my girlfriend, make a personal connection and throw people in the water faster. its all baptism, but please send the goods. this week.
        about retention and how fast, ya see president tavares has this set of mind thats baptize anyone you can, as fast as you can. after two sundays in sacrament meeting they can be baptized. im not gonna lie though theres tons of inactive people though. but the elect will hear the voice of the Shepherd and they will follow. ive heard some outrageous stories of people being baptized with no structure and there active to this day then theres others that waited super long and were baptized and dont want the church anymore. those who love the Savior will follow Him.
          
                 eu sou muito grato por este evangelho na minha vida. cada dia me sinto um pouco mais humilde por causa da Expiaçao Jesus Cristo fez para nos. sem a Expiaçao, nada bom pode acontecer nesta vida e neste mundo. ás vezes me sinto que não posso receber estas bençaos eu tenho na minha vida, ou que eu não sou digno para receber perdão  por meus pecados mas não importa para nosso Salvador. ûnica coisa que Ele nos pedi é para ter amor por Ele e nosso Pai Celestial. como nós não podemos ter amor por nosso Salvador quem nos deu tudo. quão maravilhosa é o plano do Pai Celestial!!! que nós!, pecadores, quem faz mão para outros podemos receber perdão por nossos pecados! quão bonito é o plano do nosso Mestre para nos!

translation: I am very grateful for this gospel in my life. each day i feel a little more humble because of the Atonement Jesus Christ has done for us. without the atonement, nothing good can happen in this life and this world. sometimes I feel that I cannot receive these blessings i have in my life, or that I am not worthy to receive forgiveness for my sins but doesn't matter to our Savior. The only thing that he asked is to have love for Him and our Heavenly Father.

letter to dad
thanks for the updates dad,
today was really fun, we had p day with president tavares, basketball and volleyball so we had a blast.
   bass lakes always one of the best times of the year huh.
 there taking the green car? did you fix something cause i dont know how that thing will make it there and haha. i think this will be a sequel of last year...
 transfers were today and im gonna stay in arapongas and elder zioli will go be a zone leader in maringá. haha hes really stressed out about it, but hell do great. my new companion is elder luchman. hes from washington, im super excited i already know him, hes a good elder. my zone is having a lot of changes but we will remain the best. half my district from the ctm is here, president tavares likes our group a lot. i have only feelings of joy for my brothers. lifes goin good these days, im getting really really comfortable with life right now, which means in a little time the Lord will probably throw a curveball at me. ive still never stayed more then one transfer with a comp, which is sad cause i liked everyone of them. well gettin short on time, love ya dad, keepin leading our family to success! :D
