Well, here is my big news for the week. I am staying in Parquelândia for another two transfers... because I will be training! I don’t know exactly what I want to think, excited, nervous, a lot of stuff. This means I will be in the same area for 8 more weeks. So tomorrow my new companion will arrive, could be American or Brazilian.

I haven’t slept well the last few nights ever since they told me I was going to train. At first I thought it was a joke my District Leader was pulling on me, so I called the Zone Leaders and they told me it was no joke. So it is rather weird. haha. I really don’t know where to start!!!! Fortunately the church has a new program for us to use so it should make everything a lot easier

Well, I have the area hopefully set up for the arrival of the new Elder. I have at least two baptisms for him. One of which is a 17 year old girl who is a lot like Dante. Super smart and really is taking the gospel for everything it has. A lot of people are baptized and then just are like normal. But there are those people that you baptize that when baptized go above and beyond. I don’t know why I am so privileged to be the one to find all these people here in this area but it really does make a difference.

I should also be meeting the new Mission President here shortly. He is a very demanding President which has it’s ups and downs. haha. I am kind of excited to see the changes he is going to make.

That is some exciting missionary news about Tyler, the Lillywhites and Adam!!! Exactly which mission in Brazil will Adam Hopper go to???

Just think….next family reunion I will be there!!!! haha

I keep thinking of what my trainee will be like…..tall, short, funny, sad... haha.

I love you all!!!!
