There are so many miracles to be experienced on a mission and it has been amazing! (10-19-15)

Hey everyone, it´s been another great week! I´m just going to start by answering some questions. On clothes, yes everything is great, glad I have my rain jacket, and everything is working great! But, chances are that I´ll have to buy new shoes sometime soon. Another American here gave them 3 months tops... He´s been here for a year and has already bought 5 pairs! We really do walk a lot, my companion said we probably wlk 5-7 kilometers a day (not sure what that is in miles) but hey, it´s all good, I need it because the food here is still so amazing! Can´t say that I had anything just too wild this week, just love the diversity of fruit and juice here! I drink juice all the time! Btw, if you didn´t know every meal we have rice, beans, and salad. With every salad too we always eat beets and it makes me think of dad since he always used to eat it! But ya, everything is all good! Oh, and the pringles can was from the MTC. I thought I´d take this time to tell you a little bit about my investigators, we have some pretty cool people! First is Luis, and he´s actually a Jiu Jitsu fighter! Pretty cool (until i found out that like our whole ward fights, crazy!), the only problem is that he is always training and never home. Luana is like a 25 year old who is a Portuguese Professor. Antonio has one daughter who is 4 and has been taught for about a year now, but finally attended church! We are pretty excited about him. Manuel and Sandra, who are catholic, but so receptive! They have a few problems with some of the doctrine of the church like baptism of children for example. They really believe in prayer and are working on recieving an answer and love the BOM. They actually study together everyday, I mean they are just solid people! Then we have Deneilson and Neide, who have an 11 year old son, and they are literally a miracle. We found them at 8:30 at night, and they are ex-investigators, who believe in the book of mormon and everyting! So, when an investigator isn´t baptized it is normally because of 1 of 2 reasons, Faith, or Repentance. Their´s is repentance, but we are workng with them! The awesome thing was we walk past their house like everyday, and this time we just feel like we need to stop, and we start the normal way..." Oi, tudo bem...Como se chama....nos somos missionarios...." anyway, the father runs to the gate and is like "pode entrar(you can enter) like immeditately craziness! Then brings out his BOM shows us how much he´s read, how well he knows his stuff, and it´s been almost a whole year since he spoke with missionaries! So awesome! Our final family is just a young one, with a 3 year old, with pictures of him all over the wall! The Father reminds me of Darren for some reason? Just kind of a built guy, really a cool person! I´m really excited to be workng with them! All I can say is that there are so many miracles to be experienced on a mission and it has been amazing! Tell dad he´ll be great conducting, and tell all the kids I love them! Oh, and we´re actually starting the English classes this week, so I am so excited! Anyway, love y´all and best of wishes!
