A Good Week!

Hey everyone!  Just finished up a super good week!

So we ended this week with a baptism for Arielle on Saturday and one for Sergio on Sunday.  Arielles baptism was super awesome!  It was cool because her brother Adalberto who we baptized in November baptized her.  Also, because her parents are really supportive of both of them even though the Mom is super Catholic.  Its fun to go over there and talk with all of them and teach them.  It was so cool to see Adalberto baptize his Sister.  He has grown a lot in the gospel since his baptism and is talking about serving a mission which is super cool.  They are a really awesome family.

Then on Sunday Arielle was confirmed in sacrament meeting.  Then after church we had the baptism for Sergio which was really cool.  Elder Peixoto baptized him and it was his first time on his mission so he was super excited about that haha.  It all went really good though.  Sergio is a super smart kid.  He’s 13 but understands everything we teach and always asks questions so we enjoy teaching him.  Its cool because we started teaching him exactly 8 days before his baptism.  He has a friend in our ward named Vanderson who said we could go visit him. 

So were pretty stoked about that this week.  We have one week left in the transfer so hopefully we can finish it up with another baptism.  We have one marked for this lady but we will see what happens.  I think Elder Peixoto might train a new missionary.  Time has passed really fast.  Cant believe his training is basically done.  Its been really sweet being companions with him. 

This week as we were walking on the street this drunk guy stopped us and started talking to us and asked me if i was German or American and i replied a\American and he just started going off about how he likes us missionaries and thinks were well mannered and stuff and told me he likes my smile hahaha it was pretty funny. Then he said he works for the Federal Police and said if we ever need a passport to anywhere he can get it for us.  So it looks like were not limited as to traveling the world now.  But we went to the airport this week so i could re-new my visa.  This week has been super good though.  Tomorrow we have a zone conferance which I’m looking forward to.  Everything is going good!  I got some pics to send so I’m going to get on that because it takes a while.  Love you guys! talk to you soon have a good week!
