  Opa! tudo bem?  How's everyone doing! I hope that these past two weeks have been great! These past two weeks have been pretty good for me!! The Lord has definitely blessed this area because we had 3 Baptisms!! Last Sunday: -We had the blessing of Baptizing Enzo! Enzo is 9 years old and we found him through a recent convert! Ever since we met him, he just kept on saying he wanted to be baptized! And it was awesome that his day arrived! - We also had the blessing of Baptizing Daniel! Daniel is 15 years old and we also found him through a recent convert! At first he didn't really want to be baptized, but he went to a Baptism of one of his friends and felt the spirit super strong! After watching the Baptism he told us he wanted to as well!  Yesterday: -Eduardo! Eduardo is 47 and awesome! Elder Erickson and Elder Petersen(MTC comp) found him at the beginning of last transfer, but he had some difficulties and Satan worked hard on him, but Eduardo persevered and was Baptized! ...

2 baptisms this week  

  Opaaaaaaa! Tudo bem?  I hope everyone had a great week! This week was pretty awesome, full of miracles and blessings! I had the awesome opportunity and blessing to baptize Enzo! Enzo is 8 years old and was the last person in his family to be baptized! A family is now complete😁 The funny thing with Enzo is that the first words that he said to us was that he wanted to be baptized😂 The only problem was that his mom was traveling and no-one knew when she would return (Enzo's mom was baptized like 30-35 years ago and has been inactive for awhile so hopefully Enzo's baptism will help her come back😁) But on Thursday we had an exchange with the ZLs and my comp went by and the mom was there! What a miracle! She supported him being baptized which was awesome!  Love you guys! Sorry this email is short but I'm tired! I hope everyone is doing well and having a great week! The Church is true! Study the scriptures and pray! Com Amor, Elder Giles

  Opaaaaaa! Tudo bem? How is everyone doing? I hope that everyone is doing well and that the week was good! Sorry that I didn't send an email last week, I was sick for quite a bit, it was the first time I actually have been sick sick on the Mission and I highly recommend against being sick...just a recommendation 😂 My new companion's name is Elder Erickson! Him and I arrived here in Brazil at the same time so its been a fantastic time working with him. Other than that, these last two weeks have been really busy! We also had a Baptism! His name is Gabriel! And he is super awesome! He has been wanting to be baptized for awhile and he came to church like four times before but his mom wouldn't let him be baptized. But one day, Elder Erickson and Elder Petersen (my comp from the MTC, who was in this area right before me) prayed that everything will work out and that his mom will change her mind. Well, they went over to his house and his mom completely changed her mind! Truly wa...
