Hey there...fella

How's things there? 

Today is the first day of my second transfer!

Things are going very well here! Both of our baptisms happened on Saturday, it was pretty neat. Elder Heleno baptized Natanael, he had already been coming to church when we got here. His girlfriend is a member, he hadn't been baptized earlier because he was a baptist and had a lot of doubts particularly with the Book of Mormon and Joseph Smith. I baptized Mariane, she was a contact in the street about two weeks ago, we are currently preparing the rest of her family for baptism too. 

Its great to hear that the 7th ward bball legacy is continuing! Mason was killing out there I am sure! I'm happy to hear that our buddy DDL is having some success too! Its about time! HAAHA!

I'm really sorry, I was going to get you our address here, but I forgot again. I promise that I will next time, I already wrote it in my planner!

It is going to get cold here in a couple of months, but its good we already have blankets and stuff so no worries. I am doing more than fine with my money here, we are switching debit cards here and I had to take all of my money from my account, I didn't know how much I had and when I got there I had like 304 reais in my account! Haha, so I will be eating good this week! I don't have any problems saving money though and definitely receive enough to survive!

58 new missions! That's crazy! Very exciting! Everything is going well here, I will be ripped when I get home you guys will hardly recognize me!

Can you believe that we are coming up on 3 months already!! Its crazy! The next 3 will be even faster too! There is a movie rental place here that we pass by frequently and its weird to see posters of movies that I have no idea what they are! Or I like seeing posters in Portuguese too! The newest was: Batman, O Cavalheiro das Trevas Ressurge. Haha, pretty cool!

Nothing very different has happened, I think that I will be sending some more baptism pictures within the next month though! We have some investigators who are real close! But we just keep on working! 

The Portuguese is coming along very nicely, better than expected even! I found that I can start conversing with people now! If we are giving a lesson and talking about the gospel, I can understand pretty much everything! Normal conversation is more difficult, but still, its coming! I have no doubts that the gift of tongues is real!

Anyway, so I hope and pray that you guys are well! I love you all so much!
