Letter #77-It started feeling like October. I got stranded on the road.‏

You know where to find me any time you want me Annie. Annie use your telescope!

Dear family!!!
I don´t have a ton of time today!!! Today is transfers!!! Me and Elder Gabriel are staying 6 more weeks together!!! YES!!!!! But we are taking care of all of the transfers here in Guarapuava. 

So this past week was pretty great!!! We finally contacted Karina (She is part of a member family). She moved back home and went to Conference. We taught her Saturday night with hopes of her getting baptized on Sunday. Well, we taught her the first lessons and ALL of the commandments that night and she accepted a date to be baptized. She is having marital problems (She separated from her husband.) and that is why she is at home. I think it´s been a while that she has smiled. She got a little happy on Saturday night. We were excited but then on Sunday morning, they didn´t go to church. 

After church, we had lunch with Cenita and Clarinda (the ladies who got baptized recently) oh my goodness. It was amazing. Cenita went all out on us. She loves us. She said that she remembered way before we ever passed by her house that she remembers that we were walking on the street one afternoon and she passed by us and I said very loudly "Good morning" to her. hahah She thought it was so funny. Well, she told us that like 2 months later, she still remembers it.

Sunday, after lunch we brought Elder Rodrigues to Karina´s house to do an inverview. They talked for awhile and she backed out of being baptized that day because she didn´t feel ready. So Elder Rodrigues marked a date for this weekend. 

Monday night we had a big family night at our branch presidents house (he invites all of our investigators every week) and she went with her family and loved it. Last night we went by her house and taught her the 3rd lesson (The Gospel of Jesus Christ) and man was the Spirit strong. We taught about baptism and why she needed to be baptized and about the Holy ghost and how he will help her with her problems and SHE FELT THE SPIRIT! For the first time since I met her, she smiled. She is excited for her baptism. Please pray for her that she will feel ready to be baptized. 

Then we had transfers. Elder Rodrigues that lives with us is training. So we have a brand spanken new missionary in our house from Recife. It reminds me when I got Elder Holliday. I love him so much. 
Well, today is a holiday and everyone is celebrating something about the Virgin Mary. I love you all!
Don´t stop believing!!!
Sorry i didn´t write much individually. i don´t have too much time today,
i love you!!!
Com Amor!
Elder nay
