HELLLOOO!
Mom, No. there's no shade in the whole city!
Dad, the weather here was really hot when we first got here cause it hadn't rained in a long time! but now its been rainy almost every day for a week! and in the mornings its freezing!! One day it even got down to 15 degrees Celsius... which i know isn't that cold,but I'm used to Brazil heat now so I´m using my sweater in the mornings, and sometimes for the whole day, and I´m sleeping with 2 blankets!
Elder J. Silva is from Maceio Alagoas. In the Northwest of Brasil. He´s 20. He´s brown haha He has 2 sisters, one who will go on a mission soon and the other has 11 years only so won't be able to go for a while.... His dad works with sugar cane and he did for a little before the mission as well. He wants to be an engineer.
(wow i just realized that as i asked Elder j. silva info about him, i wrote in Portuglish..... i´ll just leave it like that though and i think you´ll still understand)
The branch president is a really cool guy. He´s funny and likes to talk about deep doctrine with us sometimes. His wife is cool too.
We´ve had a little bit of trouble getting people go to church here in Osvaldo Cruz. We had 6 people for this Sunday and nobody went! Just one lady who said she wasn't a member but turns out that she is so... we at least are helping reactivate her!
We´re working a lot here and just waiting for the results to start showing up. The branch president leaves with us a lot and is always encouraging others to do the same! Its a great bracch here.
I love you and hope you all have a great week!
Week 92:
Alright so this week we had district conference. When all of the branches went to the city called Tupã! President Genaro was there and spoke. He´s great at giving talks!
We aren't the first elders to come to Osvaldo Cruz. There were elders a few months ago and then they got taken out and sisters got put here. After about 3 months, they were taken out as well and now me and my comp are here. The branch has about 40 people that go each week and maybe 100 people in the city are baptized.
We haven't had too much success in getting people to church :( the transfer is already half over too! but the members are great and we´re working with them. I just wish we were seeing results for our work as well!
Im sorry that my email is really short this week!
I love you and will talk to you all next week! Time is flying by too fast just like mom said!
