Hey everyone! This week was really really great! And yes mom, it rained, a ton.... It rained one night harder than I´ve ever seen it rain before. It was Thursday evening, about 7;30, and we had had a great day. We found one incredible family, and had some other good lessons with some investigators. Also, it was the last day before our money dropped again, needless to say we were starving, and without money, so what did we decide to do? We decided to visit Irmã Ana. But, I´ll explain to you how inspired it was, and I´m not talking about just inspired by our stomachs. So we walked to her house, aftr she arrived she said she´d make us some salgados, so we said we´d come back by in 30 minutes. So we headed off a few blocks from her house, to a recent convert, but she wasn´t there. Next to a investigator, nada. And it starts to rain a little, so we decided to head back to her house. then it starts to rain a little harder, and a litttle harder, and some more, until we had to get under something. So we run under a tree, which does nothing, and start looking around for a dry place. Literally the only place is a church, directly across the street from us.... So we´re like yes, or no, and it´s both of us, yes. So we run over and into the church, who´s having their meeting, and you wouldn´t believe how well we we´re recieved! 5 people, and the preacher all run over to us, offer chairs, towels, and generally made sure that we were ok. so we sit down for a little bit, oh btw, they were watching a video of two preachers argue over 1 Peter 3:18-22, about the spirits in prison, and they had no idea what they were saying at all. Elder Teodoro said, "Joseph Smith te amo." It´s amazing the clarity that we have with modern day prophets, thank goodness that the church was restored. Anyway, we didn´t want to stay long, because it´s not to great for 2 missionaries to be stuck in another church, not exactly following the rules. So we decided to run for it, in the pouring rain, with rivers for streets 2 blocks to Irmã Ana. So we did so, to find the her house was being flooded. So we started to move things around, were able to save tables and chairs and things, also, Ana is 79 years old. So anyway, long story short, we were really inspired to be there at that time to help her, and it was without us even knowing it, we were just hungry. it´s really great to know that the Lord is directing this work.
Anyway, the whole week was just great, Elder Teodoro did a baptismal interview for the LZ in Higienopolis, and we had a lot of good quality work this week. I also got rained on a ton, and all my clothes that i washed clean also got rained on also. But the promise is the more rain you take, the more beautiful your wife will be, at least that´s what they say. hope all is well, keep up the good work. i only sent your letters out like a week ago, so it could be a little while sorry. But love you all, Tchau!

I'm not talking about being inspired by our stomachs (1-18-16) Pic: Caden with the Stk. Patriarch and family
