Jay Family Missionaries

Querida família,

 

Sorry I didn't write last week, the computer was having problems. So now I have 19 nephews and the twentieth will be born in May, maybe he will be born on my birthday.

 

Yesteryday we had transfers. I stayedy here in Bom Jardim and Elder Wright went to João Pessoa. My new companion is Elder Teschell, he is from Paraná in the south of Brasil and everyone thinks he is an american becuase he is white, has reddish-blonde hair, and doesn't have brown eyes. After 7 and-a-half months training new americans I will be able to get better in portuguese.

 

On sunday we baptized Karol. She is Alvanir's youngest daugther, now Alvanir and three of her daughters are members, we just need to baptize the dad, Antônio, and the oldest daugther who is already married (toghether really, the people don't get married, they just live together).

 

We went to a birthday party Saturday night. It was the 15th birthday of a girl that Eliézio and Celia raised so they had the Party in their house. The girl lives in Seara, where Tim was a missionary and she came down with her mom and brother and some friends. When we went to the party everyone wanted to give us food, wait on us, talk with us, and take pictures with us. It was a little annoying, but now I know how celebrities feel. We invited them to church on Sunday and they all liked it alot and said that if they lived here they would leave their church and be baptized in ours. They live in a city where they church doesn't exist yet so they can't go where they live. What a shame.

 

Well gotta go,

 

Elder T. Jay
