3/12/12



Hello!!!
Wow. Tons of missionaries are coming back, but don't worry I am too! I finish 1/3 of my mission tomorrow. It's getting closer and closer ha. The postal system here is definitely not the best in the world. Everything is getting lost or sent back to you guys  but, it happens, part of the mission in Brazil.
So bad news, we had 0 at church AGAIN, but we cant stop working. I have never had this before, and it is really weird how we aren't able to get people to church. It's alright though because we are working for the blessings not just here but when I get back home too. Really, if you try hard every day and trust in the lord, your mission will be a success.  Everything is a little harder right now, as our ward is falling and they are revolting against the missionaries. Just put the blame on them! haha but president Gonzaga will burn them so hard this week for talking to us like that. I am excited to see what happens.
So there are two other missionaries living in our house now, because they don't have a house yet. They have been living here for 2 weeks, but our house only fits two people. It's tight, but fun and is always good when we get back home and we can forget about the bad things that happened that day. We were lucky that they came. 
That is awesome that Thomas is playing on the volleyball team! he is going to dominate! I hope he remembers everything that we taught him. 
yeah so we moved that entire house without anything, and yes I am getting muscular not to brag or anything. We are doing a Canadian army workout that the presidents wife gave us. 6 pages of workouts increasingly harder. We jumped to the third page and are now waiting the 4-6 pages haha. It is fun, but it is getting ridiculously hard. My clothes are the same though, no problems.
Something hilarious that happened this week was something that a lady said to us when we were knocking doors. We were talking about baptism and what makes a baptism real (Christ's baptism) she said that the only way we could have a true baptism was if we got baptized in the River Jordan in the same place where Jesus was baptized! hahaha it was really funny. She was totally serious, and I might have laughed.... but in the end she laughed too after we explained it a little. 
oh, the English classes are going awesome. We are teaching every Friday, and everyone is liking it. Maybe they aren't learning that much but they are happy haha. 
 Love you guys a ton and know I am here for a reason. I am doing everything that my heavenly father wants me to do here!
