My 1st Baptism

So Dad I talked to the Mission President and he said at the end of my mission like the last week you could come here and go on splits with me! Dude that would be so sick! So dude you should learn some Portuguese and we could go teach people and possibly baptize someone! Brazil is super poor my house is made of concrete floors walls and ceilings.

 

The best thing about my mission is at the end of the day when all of the six of the Missionaries in my house come  together and make dinner and talk about or day there is one other missionary in our house that knows jujitsu we end up wrestling for fun on the concrete and I always win by choking him out, haha, its fun. We get up at 6:30am every day. I exercises and study for about 2 hours then me and my companion get together and work on my language then we get ready and go eat with a member then we start to talk to people on the

 side walk every person here always stops because of me I'm super white and they know I'm American and they automatically think I'm rich. Every person stares at me its a very uncomfortable feeling. But I always use it to my advantage to talk to people.

 

 I'm doing so great! this week was tough but totally worth it because... I GOT MY FIRST BAPTISM! I was so excited it was amazing! We have been teaching this 10 year old boy for 2 weeks and finally his mom excepted that her son wanted to be baptized. I was deeply touched because he came up to me and asked why I was here and I gave him the Book of Mormon and didn't think much of it but the next Sunday he came to church and he told us he prayed about it and knows its true so the hole last 2 weeks be have been teaching him and trying to convince his mom that he should be baptized and she finally accepted!

 

I hope you all have a good week!
