Oi!
hey family! man! Things are going so great here :) We had 2
more baptisms this week and I think we will have one more this next week. Man,
things are super exciting here. I´m loving this area so much! So sunday I was
threaten! :P haha. It was awesome. hehe. This man came to church but no one
knew who he was. He went to gospel principles and started talking during the
class. He said how he got baptized that day and the professor of the class
looked at me and I just nodded my saying giving her a big no haha. But he was a
little crazy. He would randomly talk during class and finally he grabbed the
professor´s bible and a pen and started writing in it. So I grabbed the book
from him and he got super offended saying that if I took something out of his
hand again he was hit me in the face. He grabbed his stuff and left saying that
he would wait for me to kill me :P haha. So one of the brothers of the ward
made sure he left left. And he did :P He was a wacko. I was all excited cause I
thought he would be a investigator to be haha :P but what eves hehe.
So Dulce and her family and going great. She is loving the
church so much! :) It is great. This week I really am going to try and find
another elect family :) We are trying to work really closly with the Lider of
mission of ward here so that the bishop and the ward really know what we are
doing. We also are doing that same acitvity that I did in my other area here.
Pies in the faces of the missionaires. hehe. It´ll be GREAT! woot! I almost
baptized a blind lady! She was really wanting to get baptized. But she gave up
and she was wanting to be able to see before getting baptized. I almost cured
her too. haha. Seriously :P I swear that I felt the spirit really strong to
cure her but I got scared. Fear is bad and of satan :P haha.
I´m speaking like a gaúcho (a person who lives in the
south of brasil) now. Because I´m living with one, I´m using all the language
from there. It makes me remember David :P haha. How is he? I haven´t recieved
any recent e-mail from him. That´s so crazy that Jared is in Russia! Man!
That´s crazy-go-nuts! Love that guy. I hope he´s loving the mission as much as
I am :) I´ve got to write him! Jonny Lightheart and bybee will be going on
missions soon?!?! What the?! What is happening?! I´ve only been out 1 year and
3 months. (david should be making 1 and 6 now right?)
This past week we had a trainning with president. It really
made me want to be a better leader. I´m really trying my best to be! The
sisters baptized again this week. But this week I want that every area in my
district baptizes! That would be the best :) I´m really trying to apply what I
learned in my follow-ups with my elders and sisters. They´re awesome
missionaries :) I have this feeling that I will be a lider of zone this next
transfer. I also have a feel that the area where I am will be the area of the
liders of zone. But lets see. What ever happens, I wish to stay here. I´m
really glad that I have familys in each of my areas.
I met a brother from my first area the other day! :) It was
so good to see him! Things are going great in my first area. They have a new
bishop and lider of mission of ward. Most of the people that I baptized are
still going to church and that made me soooo happy :D And someone that I
baptized but didn´t get to confirm got confimred :) Man that was one of the
best feelings ever :) The other person that didn´t get confiremd moved to vila
ré which is a area of the sisters. But I want to go there so bad and find her
and confirm (or rebaptize if it passes a year) her. I wrote a letter to a
family that I baptized there. They are still firm and I´m so happy about that
:)
I can´t believe that I have a year in the field and that
Ruby has 1 year! I want to meet her so bad!haha. Sara has 4 months? That´s
crazy! There is a brother in the ward here that I just love! He loves mario and
video games and legos. It´s like me :D And he´s married so there´s hope for me
too! :P hahaha. But He loves to collect legos. He wants to build a lego city.
I hope that I´m a good example in your lessons haha :P
Taylor´s engaged?! Crazy! Sweet! That´s awesome! HEY! yeah there is a strike...
So no package! I can´t even remember the last time I recieved a letter, then
again... Ican´t remember when I sent one :P hahaha. Woops! Alright I´ll repent
and write haha. Requests.... Ties? Recipies? garments? names of all the
brothers and sisters on both sides of the family and all their sons and
grandchildren and stuff :P and umm.... I have no idea... haha food :D umm....
I´ll think more!
I saw the photos of grandma! Man! That looks like it really
hurt! I hope she´s okay! :) I miss her tons! I´m definitely going to visit her
a lot when I get back :) By the way dad, I´ve leaned over and asked another
american missionary how to say a lot of words. So yes my english is bad haha. I
don´t speak it anymore. No reason to. haha :P I love you guys and miss you
guys! :) Things are going great here!
com amor,
Élder Grant Shaw Merrill (can I be elder forever :D)
