I hope everyone had a great week! This week was pretty good. To start off on Sunday we were able to baptize G. The kid whose mom had heard a bunch of Mormon rumors but ended up liking us and letting him get baptized. He's such a funny kid haha. The baptism was awesome and all of his friends were there.

So we had a little bump in the road this week. Remember the old couple who we were preparing for baptism? Well in the first contact that we made with the man he told us he was married legally and everything. So we were set haha. Anyways we were filling out the baptismal forms with them and we asked for their wedding date... well as it turns out, the man is indeed married... the problem is that the lady isn't.... yeah, they guy married a woman who died a few years back and didn't get remarried to M. (the lady who he lives with). And he's not sure if he wants to get married to her because he feels like he would be betraying his late wife... man it's just a complicated situation. It's not easy for two elderly people who are taking care of each other to just split up but the man still loves this other woman who he married so I'll be honest... I don't know what we're gonna do there.

Anyways, we had an awesome New Years. We invited a few other elders to our house to have a barbecue. But that was pretty much it haha. This morning was spent deep cleaning our house which was in desperate need haha. But that's really about it for this week. Nothing else too crazy or exciting happened. Actually yesterday to usher in the New Year we figured we needed to have a good lunch so we ended up going to Sal e Brasa. That restaurant with all you can eat everything and about a million pounds of meat. Man it was so good. I ate so much! (like usual haha)

But anyways, sounds like you guys all had a good New Years! I can't believe 2015 is already over! 2015 was the only year of my life dedicated 100% to the Lord's service. Now I can officially say that I'll be home this year ;) Man the time is flying by! Gotta make the most of it! I love you all! Thanks for everything you do for me! A igreja é verdadeira!
