This is a bit of a frightening email for his mom- me. I believe with all my heart that the spirit kept Elder Bestenlehner and Elder Alves asleep during the robbery to protect them. Still am a bit sad for him losing what he did. Oh well they are just things and they are safe which is all that matters.
So this week was another crazy week and i will tell you why here in a little bit ha. But i dont want you to get worried because we are fine and everything is still ok! But i am glad that chris is doing good and that the soccer team is at least winning some games! I am praying for all of them! I am excited for jessa too! I cant wait to be an uncle again! I am glad that Real beat NY too! Hahaha they need to start winning! But sounds like everything is going great at home! I am always praying for you all and for camron too. He is awesome!
This week started off really sad, and dangerous.... haha but not too dangerous. So we woke up on tuesday morning to find that we had been robbed! It was crazy because i dont know how the guy got into our house. We have a balcony and we couldnt lock the door on the balcony because the lock was a little broken, but we did shut the door. The guy must have climbed up the balcony and he just opened the slide doors... But in the end he took my carry on bag with 150 reais that I had in their and some old money that i got here in Brasil. He also took the more part of the jerseys that i bought for family and friends, he took my backpack that I bought recently, my scripture case you gave me, my soccer sweats from high school, my sweatshirt from cross country senior year, my temple reccomend, and our toaster and dvd player haha. Luckily he didnt take any of my documents like my passport.... But it was sad when i found all of my stuff taken haha well not all of it, but just some of the valuable things. We fixed the door and now we are taking lots of precautions to lock the doors every night and put things in front of the doors haha. But it was definitely crazy! Now i can officially say that I am serving in Brasil. But also what was sad was that I couldnt even work until Thursday and our baptism with Carine fell through because she has to work on some things on the baptismal interview! It was a hard week. But what made it better was that we just started to work hard and we recognized that we have the restored gospel in our lives! And that is all that matters! And emerson and betania are getting their paperwork for marriage!! And so things are getting better and i am so grateful for the blessings here in pirapora!!! I love the gospel and we were able to help a lot of members this week like Epaminondas and Joel! It was super cool to help their families and give blessings! But we are going to work super hard and do a great job this week because I can fully work again! Wooh!! The gospel is so amazing and it is truly what matters in our lives! I love this work and it will never stop! I know that my savior lives and loves all of us. President Fernandes taught us that there is nothing compared to the love of god and that we can help everyone feel that love!
Dont worry too much about me! The robbery wasnt too serious because it happens a lot here in pirapora, we just have to take lots of precautions now and I will have to buy the carry on and back pack and jerseys again here soon, or in the future i dont know haha. But I love you so much ! Sorry if i have ever done anything wrong to you, mom or dad or the family! I love you all so much and i am grateful for each and every one of you! Have a great week and i am going to print off the Quotes you sent me and read them later on in the day!!
