Yup, you guessed it, we had a baptism yesterday! WAHOO!!!! Julio Cesar has been doing really well this week! We went and bought a remote for their DVD player (the joys of the Brazilian market...you can find anything!) so that they could watch some of the church´s films in Portuguese. We watched The Restoration, Finding Faith In Christ, and The Lamb of God. It´s been a great way to help Julio understand about the Atonement and the Restoration, and he loves it! We heard that he drives his mom crazy watching them over and over again, and he really understands!! On Saturday, he explained to us how Christ was baptized (complete with actions, crossing his hands and falling onto the couch.) He´s also been really great in Primary. He always volunteers to say the prayer, and he prays really well!!! On Sunday, he was so excited to be baptized, and we had A LOT of support from the branch. It was good to fill the room with people to watch. The baptism happened without complications and Julio Cesar went in and out of the font with a grin from ear to ear. Other than that, we´ve been trying to find a good teaching group. We´re getting creative and looking in places we´ve never been, talking more about family history (a challenge from President Young), and following the spirit. We also received some referrals yesterday who seem to have a lot of potential, so well be rooting for things to go well! I hope you all are well and happy.
I love you, and see you soon!

Baptism!
More Baptism!!
We decided to run to the chapel (on the other side of the city) on p-day...
...and it rained.
The District!
P-day lunch! (it´s our free day...we eat what we want, and suffer the rest of the week as we exercise.)
More flowers...because we´re creative like that.
Yeah, sorry!
We had lunch with a member family...and their parrots.
