Grab my arm.....other arm....my other arm

Transfers!!!
 
But we stayed!
 
I wanted to stay at least one more transfer here with Elder Buttars. He is by far my favorite companion here on the mission. He´s new here in this mission, but he already served in the states for 4 months, so he already knew ALOT before he even got here. We´ve been baptizing a storm here in this area, more than I´ve ever baptized with anyone, in any area. I really wanted to stay here because we´re doing so good, and why fix it if it´s not broke right?
 
But, I always found it funny when you´re trying to explain to someone how to hold on to your arm when your about to baptize them. This gets even more complicated in portuguese, but we manage.
 
I just wanted to say a few things to everyone just to let people know what´s going on. It´s been awhile since I´ve written an email to the blog, and I should probably do better at that. I know that everyone is JUST dying to see what I write every week.
 
I love you all, and I´m really happy here. I´m doing better than ever. I´m optomistic for the future, even though I dont really know what´s going to happen after I get home. I´ve got a few plans, but execution is something a little different. But, seeing as how I´ve gotten everything else that I´ve wanted (Alma 29:4) I figure why wouldnt God bless me again? I know that He hears me. I know that He responds. I´ve only got 1 transfer left after this one, and then I´ll be home. At the beginning I didnt want to come home, because I was scared about what would happen. But, like President Monson said, "the future is as bright as your faith". I plan to work and do my part, and I know that the Lord will bless me acording to my efforts.
 
Tchau, até mais!
