Brasil

Querida família,
Yesterday we had a really special baptismal service. In the beginning of the month we baptized a man named Danillo and yesterday he baptized his wife, Cinthia. She was afraid of how her family would react, but her parents came and watched the baptism and they liked it a lot. Cinthia was crying when she entered the font and after as well. We also baptized a 16-year-old named Ruchemberg. He is great, he already started seminary and wants to serve a mission and next week we are going to baptize a friend of his that he introduced to us. We had the meeting in the chapel and we had a an area seventy Elder Camargo that played the piano and gave a little talk. Elder Camargo is the CEO of the university where Danillo works, there are a lot of members that work there. Maybe it will become BYU Brazil soon.
Also, Elder Holland will be here tomorrow in the chapel in my area. Sister Hall put me and my companion in charge of a choir that will sing for him. I'm kind of nervous to sing in front of Elder Holland, but it will be awesome!
This week I did two divisions, the first I went to an area called Ponta Negra that is even richer than my area. We say the beach while were in the bus, there are miles and miles of perfect beaches here. The second division was in Parnamirim, I stayed with an american that is in his second transfer. We had to catch a bus to go to an appointment, but he got the wrong bus and we ended up getting a little lost. We found our way back, but we were really late to everything afterwards.
Not much else happened this week, so I will talk with you later.
Elder Tom Jay
