Thanks for the quote, Dad. I love you and I'm thankful for the advice you give me. Thanks for the Portugese quotes too, because I don't know all the words and it helps me find things that aren't gospel related. We have been doing so many things this and last week that I haven't been able to write as much. We had to have P-day on tuesday because we had interviews with President Mullen yesterday. There sre a lot of people who are ready to progress here but caught on little things that stop them from being baptized, or keeping their commitments. My companion calls them the low hanging fruit. Since we cover two wards, and since a lot of the people are spaced out from each other, we have a hard time getting to every one. Some are far away because they live in back roads by the mountains or forests. A lot of the people are talkers, so we are trying to be better at have short appointments. They love to talk about anything, a lot of times about how Obama is running the country into the ground. We bring members to lessons and they sometimes like to get distracted, instead of helping us keep the lesson fixed on the gospel and with the Spirit of God. We try to keep the casualness at the beginning and have the Spirit as we teach up until we leave, so that the remember how they felt and wanting more. I still have a lot to work on, bu everything is going great. I'm getting better at teaching simply and applying it to the investigators lives.
Eu gosto deste trabalho. How is everything at home? I just got the package you sent me with the clothes and soap. Thank you again. I'm gonna make sure to right every P-day home at least, so feel free to ask any questions you like. I love you all and wish the best for everyone.
