(This is how we sweep and mop the house in one quick and easy clean-up!)

Well folks it´s been a great week. We have been super busy finding the Lord´s elite!! It has been so great to be teaching Sister Buckley and to be seeing her progress!!

This weekend we had the Festa Junina at the church, a cultural Brasilian festival. José went and took his grandson and they both loved it and it was great for José to get to know more members. He also went to church on Sunday and stayed for Sacrament Meeting again and took his grandson as well. He´s making progress, but has still got to give up coffee and be ready to jump into the church feet first without any hesitation!!

We are also teaching a really neat family that we met at the Festa Junina. They were a family hired to do the hot dog stand at the party and invited us to come to their home Sunday night. They really liked our message and said they are looking for a church to raise their children, and were really impressed by the amount of families at the activity!

We are also teaching a man named Marcelo. He was taught by the Elders ten years ago in another city when he was a young man. He was not baptized because of family/girlfriend problems, but said that he went onto the internet one day to look up the Church and found the telephone number of our Bishop. He gave him a call and asked if the missionaries could teach him again. He lives alone so we are teaching him in the chapel and yesterday we had a family night in the home of a member that lives in the same apartment building as him!!

We had a great Zone Conference last week that was totally focused on the Book of Mormon and how is the greatest tool in the conversion procress. We are reading the Book of Mormon as a mission in 62 days and I am already at the end of Alma. I know that this book is true, I know that this book answers many of the questions of the soul. I know this book was translated by a prophet of God. I know these things are true!!

Have a great week everybody!!
