Semana Incrível, Cheia de Milagres July 27, 2015

Hey there!

This week was absolutely great! We are absolutely exhausted (because we worked our tails off and had a helping hands project) but everything is great as can be. I am so excited for these next few weeks to finish off this transfer with a bang!

We had the wonderful opportunity to invite Daniel and Nadia's family to be baptized again. And... the four of the five kids older than 8 are more excited than anything to be baptized. One of them kept asking my companion yesterday in church over and over again when he could be baptized. They will be baptized August 8th, and we are all super duper excited. They understand really well the importance of the gospel and what they will have to do to live it. They are the best!

With another week of 100 contacts, we have a few new investigators, but I feel that no blessing could be greater than that of seeing people so excited to continue to get the blessings of the gospel. 

I love you all and hope nothing but the best for all of you. The gospel is true, and when we put our trust in the Lord, all things will work out for good. We just need to remember to have faith and wait for things to happen in His time and in His way.

Com tudo meu amor!

I will try to answer all the questions that the kids are asking.

Where do you email us?
 We email in an internet cafe that is super close to our house in downtown Araraquara.

How do you do your laundry? Where do you do it? And do you have dryers?

We have a washing machine that works normal--nothing too different. its in our apartment in our kitchen. we don't have a dryer, but we have clotheslines in our kitchen in the part with the washing machine where we hang our clothes to dry.
 
Are you still walking lots or do you take the bus?

We still walk a lot, but we take the bus about four times a week normally.
 
The food at the service project looked amazing! Is this normally how you eat?

The food was yummy! We normally eat rice and beans, some meat, and usually a salad and sometimes pasta. I am not eating pasta anymore though. I went gluten free about three weeks ago because I wasn't feeling too well and that helped a lot. I tried eating gluten this last week and my stomach was hurting for three days, so that's it for gluten for me! The food is really yummy here though!
 
Besides grocery shopping each P day do you shop for other things or shop at other places?
Yes. Sometimes we need other things in our apartment, or we want to buy things. they have little dollar store type things that we go to to shop for the other random things usually. 

What do you do on p days besides email us and grocery shop?

I write other letters, we do other errands around the city, sometimes we sleep or if we are really excited, we watch the testaments :) Usually we don't have too much time to do other things.
