Well i'm here in Ribeirão Preto. Yup I was transfered today. I found out saturday morning. I was able to say goodbye to most everybody. This morning we got on the bus to Ribeirão Preto and right now i'm with my new comp in my new area. It is an emergency transfer. Some other elders had to be transfered because of some things they did.
My new area is Parque Ribeirão. It's on the edge of Ribeirão Preto. My area is smaller and a more humble people. My companion is Elder Mendonça. He´s from the Northeast part of Brazil. It was hard to leave Leme. I was there for 5 months. I really grew to love the people there. I felt very comfortable with the members and the area. Elder Fidelis is super cool. We were getting along great, working hard, and laughing alot. It was disappointing to not be able to finish the transfer with him.
We had two baptisms this last week. We baptized Débora (12) and Mariana (9). They and their mom Ana were a member referral. Ana will be baptized soon, she just has to get married. Elder Fidelis will help her do that and then baptize her. They are just great!
This last week was good. I was able to learn a lot from Elder Fidelis in the 2 weeks that i was with him. I learned about patience and perseverance. He is working hard in this his last transfer! I arrived with my new companion. Our house needs to be cleaned badly haha!
Thanks for the pictures. Haha, tyson looks like one of the who´s from whoville in the Grinch!!!! Beck looks great!!! Glad you guys were able to see him.
So glad that you received all the packages! Does Elder Fidelis like Twizzlers? ha ha Are you taller than him? I know that is a really random question, but we were just wondering.
The twizzlers got to Elder D. Souza and he really liked them. Elder Fidelis got the stockings and said thank you. Elder Fidelis is super tall haha.
Would you like us to send you the Ensign?
YES. Send it now. Anything you send to me will get to me quick because i'm in the city of Ribeirão Preto. At least thats what I've heard.
I sent some pictures. There is one with Elder Fidelis and I hanging on a tree near the lake in Leme. The others are of the 3 baptisms that Elder Fidelis and I had together.
Well i love you all very much. Thank you for your love, support, and example. I have a testimony of this gospel and the things that i am teaching. The gospel of Jesus Christ is the power to change. God´s plan for us is a plan of happiness and he wants us to be happy. The commandments give us that opportunity. We just have to obey. Mosiah 2:41
