Querida familia
I´m sorry to hear that Stewart´s dad passed away de um abraço para Stewart por mim. I remember President Monson´s talk in April, he said that death comes to everyone, some when they are old, some in their prime, and some when they are young, but because of Christ everyone will live again. "The sting of death is swallowed up in Christ." And there are also lots of good things, a new baby, and two more on the way! It shows the importance of sharing the gospel so that evreyone can have the hope that we have when a life starts or when it ends.
Things are going really well here. It makes me sad to here the difficulties that Ed and Ariel have with the people, I can´t complain about a lack of success. Right now we are focused more on strengthening the members and bringing inactives back to church, but we still baptize. You guys just chose the wrong mission.
This week we had a really good baptism. Three weeks ago we found a teenage girl that went to the Assembly of God (the Assembly of Men) and she told us that she felt like something was lacking so she prayed to know what she should do and then we knocked on her door. It was difficult because her cousins and aunts are all evangelical and her pastor and the people in her church told her lots of lies about us, but she left all of her doubts and the criticisms behind, and was baptized. She said that when she was baptized she felt what had been lacking before, and she no longer has any questions or doubts.
Anyway, I didn´t get transfered, I think I will stay in this area for a long time. It´s good because I like it here. Everyone thought I would be transfered but they were all wrong.
Tchão,
Elder Jay de Brazil!
