We had a really great week! Tuesday, we said goodbye to Elders S. Costa and Pinargote and said hello to Elder Capawana (from Idaho) and Elder Urzua (from Santiago, Chile). It's been a little interesting getting used to one another, especially since it's been about 5 months since the last time the scenery changed here, but we get along fine so far, and I can tell it's going to be a great transfer.
We're still working with Nilesley, and his mom said he'd go to visit his dad this week to talk to him about the baptism. We know he's ready, and we've set a goal to hold his baptism on Sunday. Hopefully all goes well. We also held a family home evening at a less active family's home which went really well. I gave a message about unity and teamwork, and many of the things I said were also said by Boyd K. Packer (I think it was Boyd K. Packer) in conference this week, so that was neat.
Speaking of conference, we absolutely loved it! I found it really great to hear everyone speak in their native tongue, especially when they announced that Elder Carlos A. Godoy would speak in Portuguese. Not only was it cool to hear him speak and to understand every word, but his message really was something I needed to hear and that I had been praying for. Among my other favorite talks were from Cheryl A. Esplin and D. Todd Christofferson in the Saturday morning session, President Monson in the Sunday morning session, and Elder M. Russell Ballard in the Saturday afternoon session. Above all, though, I loved Carlos A. Godoy's talk. Unfortunately, we didn't catch the Saturday afternoon or the priesthood sessions. Overall, it was a great conference, and I'm anxious for the next one in April.
That's the wrap for this week. Stay well! Love you all and see you soon!
Elder Crapo
