Brazil

Querida familia
Hey everybody! Today we had transfers. I stayed here in Sousa, but Elder Walton was transfered to Mamanguape. My new companion will be Elder Rolim. He'll be the first brazilian companion I have had in a long time.
Today the Petries are my companions because there aren't any other missionaries in Sousa. I get to pass the day in their air-conditioned apartment and right now I am using their laptop to send this email. It`s great being in the same area with a couple missionary.
On Sunday we had an attendance of 60 or 70. I taught about our Heavenly Family in Gospel Principles and I gave a talk in sacrament meeting. Edjailton e Karol came to church again. Seriously, they are one of the best families that I have met on my mission, I could see Edjailton being a stake president some day. The girl that we were going to baptize next Sunday came to church, but then went to a party and got wasted. Now she said that she is going to Maranhao, a state in northern Brazil. I don't like teaching young women here. It has been really difficult to baptize lately, everything keeps falling through, but I have faith that we will still find someone who will be baptized this month.
Gotta go,
Elder Jay
