Week 69

This week we confirmed Guilherme. He is a really cool kid. He was so important in helping his mom quit smoking. It's great to have him and his mom at church every week. Also José is showing up at church every week by himslef now! Though he is still leaving after sacrament meeting because his health is still poor.

We got a family that lives right by the church to go yesterday. They had never visited the church before even though they lived on the same street but just two blocks higher.

We havent really taught them yet though. The dad doesnt have any interest at all but the mom and two sons who are 16 and 18 went and seemed to like it a lot.

This week I also did a division in Independencia, another ward on the other side of the city. It went well but divisions always make the week pass by quickly...which is why this week my email is short. It passed so quickly that I don't remember that much stuff!

Package Mailing Instructions:

DO NOT send anything by: FedEx, DHL, UPS, etc. The mission cannot accept them and your missionary will have to pay, sometimes hundreds of dollars, to get them out of the customs office, often more than the total cost of the items sent.

The best way to send packages to your missionary is to use a PRIORITY MAIL INTERNATIONAL envelope obtained at any U.S. Post Office. The flat rate envelope is about $12.00 for up to 4 obs. Packages arrive in Brazil fairly quickly and safely in about 3-4 weeks. Priority boxes also work well but are more expensive to send.

Please use padded envelopes when sending CDs, thumb drives, or other small items. These items, when placed in a flat envelope, damage postal equipment and can be damaged during transit.

Merchandise: Clothing, food products, and merchandise should be sent direct to the mission office address. However, clothing or other dutiable merchandise often does not reach its intended destination or, if it does arrive, may be subject to customs duties that the missionary will not be prepared to pay. Small packages of nominal value may be sent through the United States Postal Service. Photographs and tapes may be included in these packages. Merchandise sent through a commercial mail carrier is extremely expensive and may be subject to customs duties, but this is the best way to send credit or debit cards.
