Last week we found these awesome kids named Felipe(18), Luciano(15) and Mateus(12). They are super accepting of the lessons and just want to do what is right in the eyes of God. Its crazy how their outlook is so.. right, realizing that what God wants for us is far more important than anything else. They are al set to be baptized this Saturday! they are living the commandments, even the law of chastity which is super rare in Brazil, and they really really liked church in Sunday. Its was a bit wierd cause they came in simming suits (everybody wears them like regular shorts around here because they see Americans wearing them and dont realize its only becuase they are going to go swimming soon) and soccer jerseys. Not everybody wears shirts and ties to church anyways so they didnt stand out too much.
Its cool to see how the Lord guides the work. We looked and looked for new people, clapped at i dont even know how many doors trying to find people to baptize and got nowhere and then last thursday or friday we met this kid Luciano at Paulos house casue they are firends and then went to his house the next day and met all his brothers too. We cant do anything unless its what the Lord wants.
Elder Phillipy will be heading home to washignton here this next monday, so i dont know how that will work with the end of the transfer and getting a new campanion and all but thats knind fo how it works as a missionary. whenever they say something we instantly obey and do whatever it is they asked of us.
Hope you all have a great week!!
P.S. It would be super cool to get letters from some/any/all of you. or your friends. Or their friends.
Elder Haws
