Dez. 6

Hey!!!!This week was up and down. So, from monday to Friday, my comp was mad at me. It was ridiculous, but on Wednesday in the street I just talked to him and he didn´t talk back, but I just explained that there is no way that we can teach with the Spirit if we are not happy with each other. And I said that I know our cultures are different, but that doesn´t have to stop our work. I told him that if he has a problem with something I do, that he can tell me and I will try to stop doing that thing. I told him that I love him and that if we start working together in unity, that we can do miracles in this area. I think that helped a little that day. Half way through Friday he was happy and everything was good.So, on Christmas we get to talk a little. Here in Parnaíba there is a phone in the church so I will use that to call you. I am not sure if I will call you and have you call back? or if I will email you a time to call. I am not sure exactly how it will work out. I will find out more information and let you know. Are you 4 or 3 hours behind me here? I still haven´t gotten any packages or letters or anything here. But my zone leader is in Teresina for training right now so maybe there is something there that he will bring back with him. I will tell you about our investigators now you know what is going on. We have Rosangelawho has 4 kids and a boyfriend. She wants to be baptized and is all our committments, except for one. She won´t talk to her boyfriend about marriage. So tomorrow we are going to talk to both of them together and see what they both think. I hope it goes well. A problem we have is that she doesn´t know if she wants to get married to him. It is tough...I shouldn´t have ´favorite´ investigators, but this next guy is awesome. His name is Adriano. He is kind of like Lasero from Sobral but is actually keeping the commitments. He has had problems with drugs in his life and recently has been looking for the right church to join to give him some help. I am glad the Spirit stopped us that night to talk to him because I am certain this gospel can help him out. So we taught him a little about the Atonement and that with the power of the Atonement he can overcome his habbit. He has been praying hard to find out what church is true, but says he hasn´t received any answers yet. He cant read very well, so I want to read the Book of Mormon to him and then have him pray about that. He came to church yesterday and the testimonies were perfect for him I thought. He is a really good guy and I am proud of him and his faith. Another one we have is Itaro. He is 18 and is really interested in this church, but he is having a hard time praying to ask if it is true. I am going to ask him why he isn´t praying and hopefully get to the bottom of his concern. He is a good kid though. He is living the word of wisdom now and likes talking with us about our church. He missed church yesterday, so I hope everything is still good with him. Maybe we will go visit him tonight and see what was up. I don´t have much else to say. The work is starting to pick up and I am happy to be here. This is a good area to be in. I love you all very much!!! thank you for thinking about me and for your prayers! You are all amazing to me. Love Isaac
