Hola Familia.
Well thats hard to hear of Brother Baldwin. He was an amazing guy. Gonna miss him a ton.

Well work has been flying here. We had a really good week teaching and just was really a successful week. Carmen has changed a ton and is actually happy. Its amazing what the gospel does for people. She was litterally misserable to a point of just not wanting to go on and now shes happy and just floating around. Stinks though cuz shes taking off to Chuy which is a city on the edge of Brazil to work for a couple of weeks. Shes really excited to work. Sandokan is another story he dropped from 6 packs to 3 packs a day haha. Alot dropped but still alot to go…. he didnt show up for our last appointment and didnt show up at work so some how well run into him again. It always happens haha. He was doing great though. Its hard cuz we have no way to contact him cuz he lives in the booneys and has no phone.

So we found a girl and her Grandma which was a fun experience. We started out just talking to this old lady (the grandma) not thinking it would go anywhere cuz i understood like half of what she was saying and my comps face was just blank but she was just chillin outside so we figured wed share somethin with her and she invited us to sit with her. It was interesting cuz i felt like an oro again and my comp was just totally lost… then a young girl came out and while the grandma was talking to my comp i started talkin to the girl and was just like… i dont understand whats goin on and turns out she was speaking portuguese. Then i looked at my comp and he just looked terrified trying to talk to this old lady… it was soooo funny. We had a good time and had a really good lesson and the girl had actually already read before about half the Book of Mormon and then the missionaries stopped going by…. so we gonna see where it goes. Just showed me that anyone could be a good experience cuz i really didnt expect any thing out of this old lady that made no sense but it turned out awesome.

Well that was my week. Glad you had a good anniversary and a FELIZ ANIVERSARIO very late.

Well Love you all y que todos sus sueños sean buenos :)
CON AMOR.
