4/16/12



Hello!
Sister Gonzaga is awesome. She reminds me of you, always having everything planned perfectly and clean. haha She is always happy, and has a great personality. With the president and the wife, we talk to them during zone conference, interviews, transfers, and a few other occasions. It isn't that often, and is a lot less here in Sergipe. but we usually see them every 3 months at least.
My comp is from Beaver Utah, we get along just fine.
I was already trained by Elder Maciel. Trainer is just for the first 2 transfers in the mission. He just is  a district leader, and I think that's what I will be next so president put me with him. Also, in this district there are 4 sisters so I think I will have to take care of them. haha oh great.
So we have 3 baptisms for this week and next week. Lucia 25 years old, was a reference from another elder, Larissa 21 the first door I knocked when I got into this area  which was awesome, and Geovania 22 who was a girl that we just started to talk to. She seemed like she just wanted to flirt with us, but liked what we taught and will be baptized. Also a young man might move into our ward that has already gone to church twice so he will be baptized too! the blessings are coming finally!
so I tried to send more pictures, but I think the lan house blocked the computer. I can't get into it to send the pictures.
Thomas is jacked up! he needs to learn to like typing! at least to me!
So this week was pretty good. We are teaching a lot, and are just helping these investigators get ready for their baptisms.  We even taught a deaf person the other day. She was drunk and deaf. Not sure how, but we taught a little bit to her and at the end she was able to here a little bit. Either a miracle or she is just crazy ahaha. I don't know if I told you about the farmers market here. Every Wednesday there is a fair and tons of tables are set up, and people just come to sell fruits and vegetables. It is on our street and I took a picture of them setting up, but I couldn't send it.
also I did an exchange with Elder Maciel! my trainer and we went to the aquarium haha. We went to look at the prices and to plan an zone activity, but it is closed on Mondays. so we decided to go that day. Not sure if we were supposed to but it was really cool! there were sea horses sharks and tons of other things. Well that's about all we did this week. We are still teaching and looking for new people every day, and searching for a new house to live. Hopefully we find one this week and move!
anyway, I love all of you guys and hope you have an awesome week!
LOVE ELDER JAKE LANGLOIS
