10-24-11

HELLO GOOD MORNING FAMILY! THIS WEEK WAS PRETTY NORMAL, EVERYTHING IS GOING WELL. WE GOT TO GO TO THE CIVIL OFFICE AGAIN IN TEJIPIÓ WITH EDIMILSON AND ZINHA AND WHILE WE WERE THERE WE ALSO TURNED IN THE MARRIAGE PAPERS FOR SILVIO AND CARMEM. WE TAUGHT CARMEM WITH ANOTHER MEMBER LADY ABOUT THE PLAN OF SALVATION, WHICH WENT REALLY WELL. THEY PLAN ON GETTING SEALED IN THE TEMPLE. THEY WERE BOTH AT CHURCH YESTERDAY TOO, AND WE MARKED A DATE FOR THEIR BAPTISM AND WEDDING (WHICH WILL BE VERY SMALL AND SIMPLE) FOR 12TH OF NOVEMBER. 

DAHLILLA AND JUNIOR WERE NOT AT CHURCH BECAUSE THEIR LITTLE SON GOT SICK, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE EVERYTHING IS STILL SET FOR THEIR WEDDING ON THE 5TH AND BAPTISM ON MY BIRTHDAY! WE ALSO TALKED A LOT ABOUT ETERNAL MARRIAGE WITH THEM AND THEY LIKE IT A LOT. ON THE WEDDING INVITE DAHLILLA WROTE A LINE FROM THE SONG "FAMILIES CAN BE TOGETHER FOREVER" . I'LL HAVE TO SEND YOU AN INVITE! 

WE ARE TEACHING A YOUNG WOMAN, JULIANA, WHO IS 16, AND THE NEIGHBOR OF A MEMBER FAMILY. SHE IS REALLY SMART AND SHE IS PROGRESSING WELL. SHE WAS AT CHURCH YESTERDAY AND SHE ACCEPTED THE INVITE TO PREPARE TO BE BAPTIZED, AND TONIGHT I THINK WE WILL MARK A DATE.

YESTERDAY WAS GOOD BECAUSE RUAN, ALICE, IRENE, EDIMILSON AND ZINHA WERE THERE OUT OF THE PEOPLE THAT I HAVE BAPTIZED HERE.  ADLÁN WAS ALSO BAPTIZED HERE BUT NOW HE IS GOING TO CHURCH IN CAMARAGIBE, WHERE HE LIVES. STILL THINKING ABOUT MAYBE GOING ON A MISSION. 

ALRIGHT HAVE A GREAT WEEK TCHAU

LOVE
