Hello Everyone!!!

The computer is being weird this week, so I hope this sends ok. Well
this week has been another fantastic week! This Sunday our recent
convert Michael asked me to confer the priesthood on him, it was such
a neat experience!! He then told all of us that his sister has also
recently decided to be baptized!!! And she wants him to baptize her!
It will be this Friday!!! This week we have been teaching our
investigators that are preparing for baptism, one named Elaene and the
other named Tacio. They are two separate investigators we found, but
it just so happens that they are both from Brazil. I have taught quite
a few people from Brazil in this area and I have to say those are
usually the most fun lessons I have had. Their culture and
personalities are just fun to work with! Tacio is a younger man who
came to here to go to OCC (Orange Coast College), he accepted a
baptismal date and so we came back the next time and he told us at the
door that he wasn't really that interested anymore, but I just
continued to ask him questions and started testifying of The Plan of
Salvation and he let us in eventually. The Plan of Salvation really
interests him and I was so happy that the spirit helped me to share
that with him or else we possibly could have lost him. We have an
amazing week planned this week already and we are really excited to
see the miracles that will happen.

I would love to write more but I am crunched on time and the internet
is really bad here, so I will send this while I still can. I love you
all!!
