As you know, during the summer months
here is Brazil it gets hotter than crap so this December we weren't able
to enjoy a white Christmas but we were able to enjoy a white Easter
(see attached photos). I'm happy to announce that the working here in
Canela is progressing and that we had another four baptisms this week. Saturday night we married and baptized a couple (relatives of the first baptisms we had here), and then on Sunday we
baptized the sisters of M. (our baptism last week). Also, ElderN. and Elder A. from the other Canela area baptized two people,
resulting in six baptisms this week.
So yeah, last Monday it was stinking cold, but then
it warmed up again; now it is really nice. The weather here kind of
reminds me of Utah-bipolar. Hopefully the good weather lasts. I'm not
excited to go through another winter without modern heating technology
(Brazil isn't quite there yet). Hopefully I can find more blankets or
something. Nerk.
This will be the last week of the transfer, Elder A. and I are hoping to baptize next week too, which will mean we we will have baptized six out of six weeks this transfer. He only has three more months left (two more transfers), but I would imagine both of us will stay here for another transfer together (seeing as how we are having success and that both of us opened the area and only have one transfer here). But I don't know. The President is unpredictable sometimes.
It is strange
knowing that Elder Mells is finished. I remember talking to him the
night before he left (and throughout the last two years). We have kept
in contact the entire time, and I received an email from him today
saying that he couldn't believe that he had made it and that he was done.
He also said he was super excited (thanks for trunking me out, Mells).
Weird. I guess that puts me at the top of the list on that missionary bulletin board at the church. Woot!
So didn't you say that you will have October 8 off?
That means we are going to hang out all day and go to Tucanos right?
The whole fam-damly? Trunky, I know, but I just had to ask.
So I'm doing
just fine. I'm going to have to send in the weekly report to the
president, so I'll finish up here. I love you and I look forward to
seeing you guys on Mother's Day!
Love,
Elder Morris
