Someone got angry and burned this car. :)








I learned something about the underground communication. I thought that hanging shoes from the power lines was a cultural thing or a practical joke but it is really how the drug dealers mark territory and trade points.



Oí, todo mundo! Só tranquilidade nos Estados Unidos e Peru? (shoutout to Elder Fife! love ya bud!)

Thank you for all of the happy birthdays and personal emails. In time i will respond to all! My birthday was great. It was a hot day and then the day after was freezing. This weathering is so unpredictable. Its the climate of a rainforest with out a forest... just concrete and the mix wacks things up sometimes. I guess we can call the climate, raincrete! haha so cheesy! But really i am so thankful for the pillow case, the spiderman pillow case. my spidy senses are up all night long now!


This week was interesting. We helped a lady carry her groceries to her house and up the stairs and then we were talking trying to set up a time when we could visit to share a message and she grabbed my companions arm and started rubbing her face on his shoulder like a teddy bear. My companion freaked out but we both could help but crack up at the situation. He fleed from her grasp but she held on tight. He went behind me and i kind of pushed her off. She doesnt have very many teeth (the word for that in portuguese is "Bangela" someone who doesnt have teeth). After he broke free we booked down the stairs and out of the door! Some people are just strange. 


Anybody can guess what i ate this week??? Rice and beans baby. Still going strong every day. I love it. But really i am lovin the fried banana... nothing gets better than fried banana for dessert!


We were so blessed this week and found more people who are ready to be taught about the restored gospel. I love the Lord and how he works. Truly this mission experience is marvalous and lifechanging. The title of this post is in English "General Conference is coming!". Two times every year we have the opportunity to hear from the prophet and the 12 aposltes of the world. October 1st and Second they will address us. If any of you want to know why The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is different from any other church that preaches about Christ, listen or watch this conference. We have a living prophet today. God worked through prophets in the bible, book of mormon, and all throughout time. God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. I invite all of you to listen to the words of the prophet and apostles today and focus on what you feel. Pray and ask if these men are men of God. I know that Jesus Christ is our Savior. I love you all! Have an amazing week!


Com Amor,
