Alex is amazing and a miracle! (2-1-16)

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO CR!!!! Pretty exciting, because on the same day as CR´s birthday we had the confirmation of Alex. Fala parabéns para CR. How exciting he looks like he´s getting pretty big! And Carder´s next, with his own baptism. Pretty exciting things are happening there then, I´m glad everybody´s so busy and happy. You´ll have to record some videos of sis for me so I can get it a view someday when I get back. Spaghetti was a good choice, I had the same thing on Sunday actually. Also, thanks for updating me on the Boy´s Basketball, and you have my address to give to Marylin right? Also, i´m glad you got the letters, hope they give you a little more information than my emails can. I think I´ll start some new ones this week, always have plenty of things to tell. Oh, and yes, I would love the picture book, for sure! So my old comp. was sent to Jabuticabal (I think I spelled it right) to be a Zone Leader of a brand new zone there. His shirt will be simpleto get to him, all the Zone Leaders go to Ribeirão Preto every month, so I can just send it with my zone leaders and they can get it to him there. He was pretty excited about the shirt so I´ll make sure and get it to him. So anyway, I just wanted to talk about a few things today, namely Alex and E. Jeronymo, my new comp. Alex is amazing and a miracle. You know how we call people "Investigators" well Alex literally is one, He was already in a lot of other churches, and he left a lot of other churches, because what he found in the Bible and what he found in other Churches wasn´t the same thing. So, he´s always been searching for the truth, but didn´t know where to find it. So, one day he finds our church site on the internet, and decides to check it out. So he goes by bike, in church clothes like 45 minutes to the stake center for church one Sunday. The Zone Leaders found out who he was, and where he was from and sent him our way. So I had heard about him, but had to wait a week to meet him. in the beginning he had a lot of doubts, he knows the bible really...really well... but he always came to the conclusion that we were right. Also, his mother didn´t like us, so he came every wednesday and saturday to English class, were I taught him English, and afterwards we taught him the lessons. He, during this month and a half has not missed one Sunday, even when he was working in another city late saturday night, he came back to go to church! I´m telling you, he´s a stud, and half the time he was teaching me. He has a good amount of scriptures memorized. But last week, he decided he was ready, and he really was ready for baptism. It was a really amazing experience to be apart of helping him reach this point, the best thing is that he´ll be a huge help to the ward here. the Lord really gave us a miracle with Alex. Another thing, my new comp is amazing. i´m really excited to train him, which isn´t really training at all, just helping a little. He knows it all very well, I´m only helping with like the way to teach, some parts of the mission life, rules, simple things like that. For sure we all have plenty to learn, and still are, but we´ll both learn a lot together. i´m pretty excited for this tranfser to see what happens, I think we´ll see plenty of miracles. We only had one half week so far, but this next full week we´re planning on giving it our all, and it´s going to be a good one! Com Amor, Elder Wyatt
