Hey Mom and Family!
9-10-12
Congrats on completing your hardcore gorilla trip Mom! You've really grown a lot since I've left (huh?)!! This
past couples of days have been fun but really tiring. There was an emergency
"transfer". Really it was just
an emergency trade. Our companion Elder Freitas
got transfered to Varzea Paulista, and is now companions with my old companion
Elder Vale, and his companion is now ours, Elder Monteiro. I don't know him yet, the trade happened
today. It seems like we straightened out
Elder Freitas, and he's just waiting to finish the transfer to become senior,
and this Elder Monteiro has some huge problems with disobedience. So the President is putting him with us
because of the success we're having of straightening out companions. It's going to be tough, because to change
things like disobedience is harder than Elder Freitas' old problem. Anyways, it's a cool feeling to be trusted by
the president like this. Tell
Cheyenne that she’ll always be my great friend and is a part of our “Williams”
family; I’m sure everything will work out for the best in the end. It just goes to show the necessity of living
ALL of the Gospel in our lives. Without living
ALL of it, we will never be able to make it through the difficulties in our
lives. We
didn't baptize last week. Lucimar got in
the way of her sons baptism. She has a
huge lack of faith that her son will endure to the end, and for that she doesn’t
want him to get baptized just yet. Which
doesn’t make sense at all, you'd think it'd be better that he get baptized and
then she's help him endure than help him endure first and then help him get baptized. Of course some waiting is needed if the
baptismal candidate needs to go through some hardcore repentance, but Artur
isn't having any problems at all. So
it's better that he get baptized now than later, because nobody knows what's
going to happen later. Anyways, it's
frustrating. Pray for them both. So yeah Friday and Saturday we had a
service project at a day care center. WE
basically just reformed it. It was
actually pretty fun. We painted a lot! As much on the outside as on the inside, I didn’t
take too much pictures. Just the cooler
thing that I did which was painting a sick wall size picture of SpongeBob and
Patrick. I'll have to send you the
pictures next week. Other than that
nothing really happened that was too interesting. We went to Outback Steakhouse for lunch
today. It wasn’t as expensive as we had
expected, it was nice to go out to a fancy restaurant and feel like a big
deal. Anyways, I love you!
