Sorry I didn't email last week. I was on the road with President and Sister Ribeiro for the fist round of interviews and conferences, and I only got home Saturday very late at night. It was interesting to spend a whole week traveling. We passed in 8 cities in 2 days, haha. I now have officially been to every city in the entire mission except Itaqui. The trips were great! I love Presidente and Sister. Sister is the sweetest person ever, just like a mom. She is hilarious and we had a ton of fun. Presidente is the man. He knows so much of the scriptures it is awesome. We had some great talks about the mission, his mission, after the mission and also about doctrine.
I was doing our weekly planning on Saturday, we have a planning board in our house, and I started putting the dates and thinking, "Freak, it's my last week..." Oh well, what can you do. It has come so very fast, but life goes on I guess.
This week was awesome. Presidente let me stay in the area for the last two weeks, so I didn't have to travel! It has been awesome to work. We don't divide anymore with E. Witt and E. Albrechtsen, so I have been able to work with E. Reis this whole week. It has been so great. I love that kid. In the morning it is so hard to get [out of] bed and every night my feet hurt and I am so tired; I am not able to sleep. But, during the day the Lord has been giving me so much strength to work with intensity. I feel light as I work and filled with so much excitement to be out in the field just walking and talking with the people, or playing soccer in the street with the kids again. Oh, how I have missed it and will miss it. It is absolutely freezing right now - I am excited for summer again, haha...
Josias wasn't baptized this week, unfortunately. He is a great man but in the week of his baptism he started acting strange, though he still wanted [to be baptized], and then he told us [the reason that he couldn't]. He said that he knows it is wrong and that he needs to stop. We are working with him on that. Hopefully it can be before I go home. We have some other people that we just found this week who are completely elect and could be baptized in my last week. That is all I hope for, just someone on the last week. Pray for me!
I love you all so very much. Thank you for the support that you have given me over these last two years and for all of your prayers in my behalf. I, and the people here, thank you. This is the work of God, that knowledge runs through me like a fire threatening to consume my bones...
