Cascavel with a new companion


Mom
        when i first got in the field there already was another elder bennett in our mission and you cant have two missionaries with the same name so i had to change. he went home in september so i decided id stay elder parker until i left tupã because all my recent converts and everyone already new me as that. now that i left ive swithched back, its that simple.
         My new companion is  elder jewell he is 6'4 and 240 pounds and is from highland utah. i dont think he has any blog or anything but hes got a sister!  honestly, hes new, he has no idea whats going on and his last comp kind of just put him down all the time so he doesnt really have any self confidence. but he baptized his first person this week! i love first week baptisms! we baptized a young man named mario, hes really cool, hes lived in brazil for the last 3 years. he was living in japan. he speaks japanese portuguese and english fluent. hes a smart young man, i dont know how the last missionary here didnt baptize him? i think all it lacked was just an invite to be baptized haha.
    my new address is:
                                 R. Pio Xll, 1701- AP 0019 BL C
                                     CEP: 85802170       Cascavel- PR
                                               Brazil
 we live in an apartment complex and thats why its a little bit different then the other addresses. we live with another companionship of missionaries also, elder scoville from sacramento and elder arf from some city in são paulo. there all cool though.
   we havent found anyone to use there skype account yet but were looking for, so i dont know what time it will be or when but it will happen.   love you all, until tomorrow!

 Dad,
ya i like cascavel alot better. the ward is much stronger here. we baptized a 25 year old young man this week and it was a really good baptism, hes made a lot of mistakes in his past but he really was repentent of it. it was elder jewells first baptism, hes from highland utah, hes really struggling in the field. he'll be alright though. well i dont have much time but tomorrow will be awesome. ill see you tomorrow then. love you dad, merry Christmas!
