Glad you all had a good week. My week was a roller coaster which is upsetting. I like when everything is just fine and the week goes by normally, not having really crappy days and then good and all craziness.
We baptized gabriel! He had the bishop actually baptize him There were so many people there! Usually there's five or six people at each baptism but there was at least 20 there! Cause he's been waiting to get baptized for a long time and had already been going to church for a few months so everybody new him.
A missionary just got back here in this ward. I think he was serving in Sao Paulo so we're going to talk to him and get him to help us out we need to have a lot more lessons with members. We're lucky to get 3 in a week here and we're suppose to have 15-20!
My feet have been hurting lately so I finally called the mission doctor once I realized it wasn't just soreness and wouldn't go away. He said I've got Plantat Fisciitis, which is pretty common for missionaries to get. It's when the tendons on the bottom of your feet begin to tear from over use. So I have permission to use my tennis shoes that I brough cause they ahve better arch support and should help my feet heal as I do some different excercises and ice my feet at night. It's only been three days that I've used the shoes but it's already helped a lot. It was raining on Sunday and so we only had two of our investigators at church which was a bummer. But we've made the 16 as a baptismal date for one of them. Her name is Amanda and she's 17 and her grandpa is a member of the ward here. His name is Natal and he really really likes to talk for a looong time haha. The only problem with teaching Amanda is that it takes an hour to walk to her house. She couldn't live further away and still be in Cambe. She lives on the last street before the nothingness that stretches until Riviera and Londrina. And since she lives so far away we can only teach 1 or 2 days per week cause it uses so much of our day to get there.

| This is the coke factory that we walk past on our way to Amanda's house! Too bad we're not allowed to drink Coke... |
Wendrel is our other investigator that was at churhc. We haven't marked a date with him yet because we won't go there until tonight. He lives on the opposite side of teh city from Amanda. On the other side where the nothingness stretches until I don't know what. His house is also an hour long walk from our house. We're not doing very well at working in a specific area. BUT...we're baptizing peopel so that is okay.
We also got two kids. Gabriel and Rian to stop drinking coffee and their dad Edgar too. And we're going to try and naptize them this Sunday! THe kids that is, the dad needs to actually marry his "wife" before he could be baptized. And..that's what's happening here in Cambe!
"I love you" is "Eu te amo" or "Eu amo voce"
Eu Amo Voces
