I am glad that you are doing well and that everyone is great! I wanted to cry when you told 

me that you went to the real game against la galaxy because i would love to see real salt lake 

win that way! But thats ok I knew things like this would happen on the mission! I am glad that

 Chris loved it and that was a great compliment! I miss soccer, i havent been able to play at

 all. But thats ok!!! The Lord said that it would never be easy. I think its funny how when we

 are members of the true church of Christ, God wants us to stay strong so he sends challenges

 to help us become more like him. But that is awesome that Brittan and Brant saw each other!

 I dont think i will ever see anyone that I know. But thats because I am here in Brazil and no 

one got called to Brasil or my same mission ha. 

This week was actually pretty good but super hard in the begginning. We taught a lady and her mom but at the end of the lesson they just started to say that what will save us is Gods Love and that we dont need to go to church or know that Christs church is true. It was actually really sad but lets see if she accepts another lesson so that we can teach her about the purpose of life! But after that our two investigators Francis lanie and her mom Juscelene called us and told us to not come back... so that was super hard too! But we worked hard that same day and we found two people who have potential! Eliton and his sister Maria! I am excited to teach them more because actually the only investigator that came to church was Eliton and during testimony meeting we found out that he is related to one of the members in the ward. But pray for us and for him so that we can help him and find more families to teach! I was grateful for the opportunity we had to fast to have someone at church and the Lord blessed us when we took him to visit the church. It was very hard here in the hot weather but that is what makes it better, because you know for sure what you are doing and why you are fasting! This crazy lady started to follow us through out the week and she wanted us to come to her house and teach her but she lives alone and its hard to talk to her because she talks a lot. We definitely showed her kindness but it was weird when she followed us around ha so we had to lose her by walking faster... And that is about it what happened during my week! We are hoping that we can find more people. I have so much Faith that we will find these people, its hard because there are so many churches here in Ipatinga, its actually in the guiness world record book for the amount of churches. But I love this work because we can see miracles and help so many people. Even if we dont have that much success in numbers. I love the gospel so much and i just want to learn more and be ready for when we all go back to live with our father again!!! 

My toes are doing ok ha! I dont like to complain because i can still work with them. Actually one of the braces came off so i will have to call her and get that fixed. The smaller toe nails are basically all ingrowing but that is ok! It isnt hard to walk with them most of the time, it usually starts hurting at night. But I would rather lose the toes than not help others!! I am glad you are all doing well and having fun! I love you so much and miss you all but I know that I am needed here in Brasil for 9 more months. And so I will work as hard as i can so that I can find out why i am needed!! Dont worry to much about me. I am doing fine and I know that the lord will bless me! Tell Grandma and Grandpa I told them Congrats! and Happy Anniversary!! 

 LOVE YOU!
