Hey All!

I recieved letters this week :) that made me feliz demais. I got both of Amber's letters, journal paper from mom, some letters from the grandparents, and a birthday present from Cam, and a few others things. Thanks so much!

I´m doing really good. We´re teaching a man named Tita who is quitting drinking and smoking. When he stops smoking we´ll see how he does with the law of chastity. He´s been to church he last two weeks though, and he´s really liking it. We visit him every day to see how the smoking is going. We had 8 people at church yesterday and 3 of them were men! I feel like all the work from the last few weeks is finally beginning to pay off. We even have a baptism marked for next week.

Dad asked me about Elder Ferreira. He´s a grea missionary. He´s been in the field for 5 months, and is doing awesome. He speaks well, and teaches well. He´s obediente, and I really haven´t had any problems with him. Sometimes he´s a little more serious than I am, but we still like to joke around, and we smile and joke around a lot. He´s from Sao Paulo, and is a recent convert. I think he has almost 2 years in the church. His parents were always members, but they were inactive for a long time after they got divorced. His mom is active now, and it seems like his dad is returning too.

We met another girl named Flavia this week who is interested in the church. She´s 18 years old. She went to church yesterday. We´ll have to teach her a few things this week about missionary work and the law of chastity. I hope she will still want to know more when we´re done.... it could be a touchy subject. Everyone in the street tells us that she really likes to party, but as long as she keeps reading the Book of Mormon and going to church, we´ll keep teaching her.

Thanks again for all your letters and prayers. I love you, and I´m almost out of time now, so have a great week!

Love, Elder Forsyth
