Funnily enough, Airton found us. He had been talking with the missionaries before, but He was having trouble about the Sabbath and parts of the plan of Salvation. They had been visiting him reguraly but had stopped for a few months. So we began teaching him again and we helped him with his doubts. He was praying about these things when he received an answer, and now knows that these things are true. He was baptized Last week and will receive the holy ghost this next sunday.
It´s been a little hard to learn but I´ve got a handle of it. I´ve been feeling fine and I´m in good health. There´s been a few changes in the mission, so it does take up time on the computer, but I´m really doing great. I´m baptizing people and the Branch is growing. It´s good to be a missionary here in the North East of Brazil.
We´ve also found a teenager named Lucas Lima that was baptized last Sunday. He used to stay in the house all the time and didn´t go to school as much. Now we´ve got him to start coming to church and all the activities. His Mom is very happy about the change in attitude, and I think she´s taken an interest in the church.
It´s great to hear about everything that´s going on at home. Thanks for the updates and for the news about the family. Next week I´m going to not write all of the things for the mission and I´ll write a weekly report like I used to. I´ll try to send some pictures too.
I know that what I´m doing here to help the mission is called of God. Lives are really changing for the better including mine. I know that if all of us keep the commanments and repent daily, we´ll se each other in the Kingdom of God, on his right hand. I love you all, and pray that everything will be for the beast.
Sincerly, Your Loving Son,
Elder Shepard
