Progress

So Villa Progress (Vila Progresso) is making progress and we were

really close to having a baptism this week, but he needs a little more

time. Pray that this week will work out! We are working with tons of

people with good desires to follow God correctly and we are finding

more and more every day! I love being here and am doing great! I don't

have too much else to say for this week, but I'm loving being here and

working with my companion, Elder Vieira. He's from way north in Brazil

where it's super hot, so he also enjoys the heat, which stinks because

it's been cold here the last few days! He is very loving and likes to

help others in whatever way we can. He has a strong testimony of the

Church, and is a great help to me in learning how to be a better

person and missionary! I'll explain more about his background and

story later, but he's seriously awesome and it's a pleasure to be able

to serve with him! I hope everyone is doing well at home! This week

should be exciting! We're gonna do awesome work! I love you all! Have

fun!
