Why does this always happen? August 24, 2014

Queridos amigos e familiares!

     I'll jump right in to the bad news, and then we'll get into the good stuff, alright?

 
     I'm sick. Again. This is something that always happened when I was at home. Every year in August when the school year is just about to start...I got sick. This week, I found out that this rule applies no matter where I am in the world. I thought I'd be able to escape it this year, but I guess not. Ah, well...

     Now the good stuff! Felipe was baptized yesterday!!! His mom came to church and sat through every minute of all three hours, and then stayed to watch Felipe's baptism, and she absolutely loved it. She's progressing really well in the discussions, too, and I have no doubt that it won't be long until she follows in her son's footsteps into the baptismal font. Felipe has the full support of not only his mom, but the ward here has done a fantastic job at integrating him in with everybody at church.

     Rosangela, Juliana, and Christiana didn't make it to church again, unfortunately, but they're still loving our lessons. They just need to stop scheduling things on Sunday, and we'll be good to go!

     Things are starting to heat up a lot over here, and that may be why I got sick. We went from cold rain and floods to super strong sun. Okay, I know, cold here is not even close to cold in Utah, but y'all know what I mean. Wishing all of you a fantastic week from Vitória, Brasil! Love you! See you soon.
