When You Can't Find a Way, You Make a Way

Are you still teaching Jose?yes, but he seems to have more interest in learning then following. :/ But, we'll do what we can to help him follow!

Wow, today I grabbed a really slow computer, so sorry if my letter runs a little short, but I'll do what I can. This week was really cool. Elder Boeno's already at home and has added everyone in the ward on facebook, meanwhile my new companion and I are working our butts off! Elder Guimarães is from Belém Pará, and is relevantly new in the mission. However, he is really animated and never stops working. Certainly President knew I'd need someone like that to keep me from getting trunky like the various others I've seen. When I finish the mission, I'm gonna go out kicking!

Anyway, this week we were able to help out a lot of good people. One family was really cool to find, as they remind me of my own family. We had made a contact with one of the daughters the day before, and we passed by to teach the first lesson. The family, like mine, consists of the parents and four children, three girls and one boy, with the boy being third (like me, poor guy). However, we were unable to teach past the first five minutes when they suddenly had to leave, but the mother simply said, "Sorry, we have to go, but I like you guys, I felt good these few minutes. Can you come again tomorrow?" Our obvious response, "Of Course!" We passed by to finish the lesson, and they accepted really well.

There are others that received us really well this week. In a family of recent converts, we're helping the last non-member of the family to quit smoking, and although it is difficult, we're getting her to smoke one less each day. Yes!  There's also a family that moved here from the northeast that has an accent as funny as my companion  Although they don't understand everything we say, they accept all of it. Best of all, all the blessings we promised them are being fulfilled, a job, peace at home, etc. If I had more time, I'd explain it all, but let it be known that I'm really excited. Great things are about to happen.

Anyway, I better close before this computer logs off on me. Thanks for all the loving support! Y'all are the best!

moicano (moee-kah-noo) Meaning mohawk. It's the popular hairstyle here, just that they don't use hairspray nor gel, they just let it flatten out. :/ If I had hair to spare, I'd give it a try after the mission. ;P
