Before Andrew left on his mission, David gave him a blessing and promised him that he would be able to share the gospel through his talents and gifts with soccer. This week he has seen the fulfillment of that blessing!
To respond to all of your questions hahah yes we already told President Fernandes about everything and he explained to us that there isnt much that we can do about the things the guy stole because they are of the world and only can be bought. And nothing of my information or wallet was stolen. It was a blessing ha! And we are using everything we can to put things against the doors and we fixed the one door so now we can lock everything! It is awesome that we can do that now! And i bought a couple of things in Montes Claros. I bought a backpack that i need to carry clothes on trips and stuff for District meetings. Oh and I was wondering if for my birthday you could send more shirts that we bought at missionary mall in provo, short sleeve, because i accidently ruined two of them here haha. And all of my shirts stain yellow because of the weather... It is difficult ha. I am glad that you saw Ahiory!! He is awesome ha. And Jessa will have her baby soon enough, i am excited!

This week was super cool! We had an experience this week that basically every missionary in Brasil needs to have. One day we were walking to teach one of our investigators, Renato, that is progressing a lot and we stopped by a bunch of boys playing soccer in the street. And we challenged them to a mini game of soccer. They brought out tiny goals and we told them, "If you guys lose then we get to teach you our lesson!" And they accepted the challenge, but they didnt know that the American played soccer before the mission haha. We beat them 3-0 and we were able to teach six boys about the Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. They all liked the message we shared and we are planning on playing soccer with them again today! Three of them came to church with us and it was just super cool! They all told me that I play super well. But Brazilians also play super well haha. But just an awesome experience here in Pirapora and we are visiting each and every one of them this week! Renato is doing super great too! He didnt come to church this week but we are helping to have the desire to be baptized and he loves to learn about everything we teach! Emerson and Betania showed us their rings for their marriage! It was so cool and we are super excited that next month they can get married, he just needs to do a couple more things. Also pray for them because they need to stop with coffee haha. But we are always helping and praying for them. This week I felt so good because we were able to just work super hard, visit less active members and share this wonderful gospel with everyone. It is amazing to see how repentence works in my life and the life of so many other people. We are now teaching Carines boyfriend too and we were able to challenge them to come to church and read the book of mormon. What a powerful invitation. I love this gospel so much and I know that the book of mormon is true. I can not deny that and i feel it with all of my heart!!
My toes are doing a lot better and Gilmara is still helping us a ton with that. This week was here Birthday and so we got to eat lunch with her and her family! It was so cool! But we arent going to report to the police because Pres Fernandes told us not to and the police here are super low... Elder Alves wants that old book of mormon replica! His name is Leonardo! And I dont think i will need my credit card much this week. We might eat some açaí another day but thats it! I will try to think of other things i need for my bday pckg and i will let you know next week! It was hard for me to sleep these last two weeks but i am doing better now ha! But everything is good and just always pray for our work here in Pirapora, because this city needs it ha! Love you so much
I miss you and pray for you every day! Tell jessa and ryan and braelyn and chris that i love and miss them all! Love you!
