Dear Fam-damily,
This week was great. After much working and a major cram sesh, my boy Gerson was baptized! It was great. Member help is definitely the way to go in the mission field. Also this week we´ve been finding a lot of good people to teach. We´ve been finding some not so good people to teach as well, but surely we don´t waste much time with them. In fact the other night we were walking down the avenue and ran into an anti-Christ. For real this guy was like a legit Corihor reincarnated or something. He was talking trash on our saviour, and then when he found out I am American he said some pretty nasty stuff about September 11th but ended his whole shpeal saying he thought it was cool how our church uses the tithing money to help out the members and not load up the bank accounts of the men in leadership. Definitely an experience. I think this guy and those like him just want attention. The kind of attention that the first grader using swear words wants... Whatever.
There´s not a ton to tell about as far as noteworthy experiences go. No dog bites. No bee stings. Not really any feeling sad. Just work and study and reading and contacts and companions that take forever to do anything and more work. Trying to help these Brasilians get to know the true gospel of Jesus Christ. I think if I´ve learned anything in this past week it is how much God really looks after us. He knows when we are sad and He doesn´t like it, but He allows it because He knows that just ahead there is a marvelous blessing waiting for us.
