Hey!

This week went well. I didn´t get to see conference in English, but I still really liked it. Despite the fact that we had to pay to ride the city bus with all our investigators to go to the stake center, we got 5 investigators to church this week. I think our investigatos have a lot of faith. I think they liked the conference.

I got a pleasant surprise when I was there in the stake center. My friend Tony from Mamanguape was there. He and his wife got divorced, and now he´s living in Campina Grande. They were a super great couple. He was the District President in Mamanguape before the divorce and he´s still a really active member. We talked a ton, and took some pictures. I can´t believe how long ago it was when I was starting my mission in Mamanguape. I can´t believe that I´m so close to coming home now... :P

We had a few cool expriences this week. We taught a new investigator named Kelly, and taught her a lot about the plan that our Heavenly Father has for her. We told her that she´d be happier following this plan, and that our Heavnly Father loves her a lot and wants her to be happy. n the end, she started to cry, and said she would need to stop smoking and going to parties to follow Heavenly Fathers plan. We didn´t get a chance to talk to her more during the week, but yesterday we saw her chilling in the bar after she´d refused our offer to go to conference :( I hope we can help her turn her life around.

Another cool experience was with Iaska and Givanilda. We stopped by and watched the restoration with them. In the end of the movie, Givanilda bore her testimony. "I know that he was a prophet! and I know that this church is the right one, because I feel soo good while I´m there, and I´m so excited to go back every week!" Iaska was also crying when the film ended. I think they´re definately going to stay firm in the church :)

I took a ton of good photos with Elder Ortega this week. If I can, I´ll send some, but if not, I´ll just save them for when I come home in a few months. I love you guys a lot, and hope you have a great week. The church is true! the truth was restored!

Love, Elder Forsyth
