Video and Dante's comments followed by Elder Wahl's letter....

From what I see, you are training very Portuguese! (hahaha) Your "thanks again" is correct! Congratulations. :)

Elder Wahl is excited yes! This I can assure you! Unfortunately my holidays are over. I'll have to work and study again. So I can no longer watch movies with him in the days of PDAY .... but no problem! We still see us on Sundays.

Sometimes I stop to reflect on how my life changed after I met the Church of Jesus Christ ... Today I am a much happier person. And I know it was the true Gospel that changed me. I am very grateful to our Heavenly Father for putting Wahl Elder in my life! If it was not the Elder Wahl 5 months ago coming into my house to bring me the good news of the restored gospel, maybe today I had an ordinary life ... I told you this several times, but I repeat: Congratulations on your son!

The birthday that I did for him was very simple. Only one cake, sweets and savories. But he was very happy! I will serve a mission next year, so I try to learn as much as possible with the missionaries! E. Wahl teaches me a lot of things.

Well .. I hope all is well with you all.
Gotta go now.
Hug.
Dante.

Well, let’s see this week was a really bad week. We had found some people that really looked like they would make progress, but... when we arrived at their house they wanted nothing to do with us. So that was disappointing. And yesterday we had two visitors at church. It was raining so no one went. Haha…Yes, the rain here keeps people in their homes.

Well, for my birthday, not much happened. Some people did like a little birthday party thingy. But I took Elder Reffatti to a restaurant to eat one day when our lunch fell through so that was the big birthday!!! However... with 21 years now... I can get what??? Yes... my concealed weapons license!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! haha!!!! What, did you think I would forget about that???

I actually really, really like the new Mission President. He is very different and can for sure strike fear in anyone. But he is really, really good.

Yes, if it isn’t too much trouble try sending another Plan of Salvation “thingy” in Portugues. haha. There is a lady here that has really helped us. Well, she really helped with the baptism of Jessica and when we taught the Plan of Salvation she saw the little thingy and wanted one so I would like to give her one.

So I am still working on reading the New Testament. It is going slow because I keep switching between the Bible and the Book of Mormon. I am enter 3 Nephi. So either way I go I am making a lot of progress. haha

That is so exciting about Elder Williams!!!!! Haha I wish I could see him off!!!

So I can’t remember if I mentioned this, but once I get Dante’s address, send him Dove chocolate!!! haha. And if you have room in my box.... send some dove chocolate... haha

Did you all get the photos I sent?

It is weird to think how fast things are going. I will only leave my area here when I have 1 year and 8 months. It is a really weird thought. But that is how it goes. haha.

So how is everything going there? How is my puppy dog doing?

And you all never responded to my answer if when dad is released if you all are going to move? Haha

And yes I continue my journal writing.

I love you all dearly. And best of luck to Elder Williams!!!!!!!
