I had a baptism this week!
This was the first baptism in this area for some time. We had a good
turnout from the ward. It was really good and we have super sweet investigators
too. We are teaching two FAMILYs that
are progressing. I am hopeful they will
accept the gospel and chose to be baptized.

This transfer I am training! My new companion’s name is Elder W.
Souza. He is from Natal. Natal means "Christmas" and is a northeastern state in Brazil. He speaks with a little different accent than I am used too, but I understand him just fine. He is super nice and has a great
attitude. He has the missionary fire
which, is good! He talks to EVERYONE --
even the drunks! Normally, I just leave
them alone but my companion is setting a good example for me that we need to
give everyone a chance to hear the gospel message regardless of their
circumstances. The Lord looks at each of us as who we may become, not as what we are now. He invites ALL of us to come unto Him. The gospel of Jesus Christ changes each of us as we embrace it. He will forgive us of our sins as we forsake and confess them and mold us into better people.
My camera is dead.
I’ve been looking at new cameras.
I didn’t see the model that I have but I’ll go check out one more camera
store I know about around here. I guess
I could go to the mall and look too. My
district leader has lent me his camera.
