Bangúnça

Hey folks,

I've made it here in Bangú! It's crazy to see how much things can change when you cross a bridge. Fewer buildings, hills, and wild dogs, more dirt and loons. I arrived here to a great blessing, a baptism! Urubatan is the friend of a woman who was baptized just one week ago. He has 7 children and is the coolest guy ever. He is determined to do everything he can to improve his relationship with God. While his wife and daughter have created many obstacles and talked smack about the church, his strong testimony has helped him quickly stop drinking and forfeit his family's stash of coffee to us. He is a true example of change and how we can seek daily to be the best person we can be with the help of the gospel plan.

My new companion is Elder Alves. He is 20 and is from Brasilia. He likes to laugh and is a very good missionary. This area needs a lot of help. Our goal is to make some changes to increase the efficiency of the work here. We are excited to find many new people to teach. I love this work so much, and it is my desire to become better at it by learning how to utilize the gifts that my Heavenly Father has given me!

Adeus,
