This week was intense.
João and Elane got married this week! It was a beautiful simple service. Unfortunately his baptism didn't work out for this week.. but they will get back from their honeymoon on the 7th of april and we have planned the baptism for the 11th. So we are still working on it.
And that almost ruined our shot to baptize this week, but nothing could stop us. We've been working with João Dimas to be baptized on April 4th, he's had some big problems with health and also some complications in the ward, but after a miraculous response to our prayers and his, everything fell through on Saturday morning and we felt impressed to invite him to be baptized on Sunday morning. And now João Dimas is a whole new man. Less stressed, smilely; a member of the church of Jesus Christ!

We had 13 visitors at church this week, 8 of them being new ! Now we are ready to rock, ready to work with these new people, new families.
Well that's it for now.

Here is a letter Alex received this week from a boy he taught and baptized in his first area:
Elder Hamilton,
How are you bro? Dude, you are talking Portuguese very well, with slang and all. Today I spoke in church for the first time and chose to wear the tie you gave me. I really hope one day you can find me again, you and Elder Fonseca are part of my life and are very important to me. Good news also: I am starting my application and plan to leave on a mission at the end of the year. We are all well here, more and more by reading the scriptures, I am gaining knowledge of the Gospel.
A strong hug,
Victor
