We've had a really great and humbling week! We were called to the mission office to have our interviews with President Young, and it was really good to talk about everything that's going on in the mission, with the family and receive a confirmation that he's really pleased with the work we're doing. We also found an awesome family of three: Camila (11), Pedro (12), and their mom, Bruna. They accepted us at home so willingly and understood everything so clearly, and they'll make a visit to church on Sunday. The spirit was really strong in that first lesson, and we feel pretty confident that they'll join the church soon.
We had ward conference yesterday, and we had about 280 people all crammed in our little chapel, but the spirit was definitely present. Our work now is visiting all the friends the members brought! We also were asked to give a blessing to a little girl who had been having abdominal pains since the day before. Her mom asked us to bless her that the pains would pass so that they could watch the rest of the conference without having to go home. After the conference, we asked the girl how she was feeling, and she said that she was all better!
Finally, yesterday we held the baptismal service of Renan! His sister, Ayla, didn't want to go through with her's yet, but we'll keep working with her. We actually had four baptisms in the ward, and it was cool so many people dressed in white. I sang ``If the Savior stood beside me´´ in Portuguese with two other members, and it was a really nice meeting.
Other than that, we're still running as usual. Summer really is starting to hit hard and we've had some really hot days, so we can't manage to sleep with the covers any more. I hope you all have a fantastic week! Love you, and see you soon!
