Querida Familia
This week was really good. On Saturday a family that we were teaching got married and then we baptized them right after. It was cool to have the Baptism at night and there were lots of people there to watch and support them. The missionaries found them a year ago and this was the fourth time that they tried to get married. They finally did it. A month ago the husband didn´t want to get baptized, but after the baptism he told me it was marvalous.
I like my new companion a lot. His name is Elder Siqueira, he is from São Paulo, and he is the second biggest brazilian I have seen so far. Best of all He likes to work. Now our goal is 40 lessons a week.
Yesterday we had lunch at the base of the Military Police. One of the Recent converts here is the seceretary to the head honcho there. We got a ride in one of the Police trucks from the church to the base, and then from the base back to our apartment, and we set up appointments to teach some of the other officers. The food was pretty good, and we are friends with the police now so we can do whatever we want.
The branch here is improving as well. It has gone from 70 people on Sunday to probably 100 yesterday. We are focusing on teaching the families of members because the majority of members have brothers or sisters or parents that aren´t members. Missionaries are always afraid to talk to them even though they are best way to find people.
