January 24th, 2011

Pres Prud is good.  It has been freaking hot this last week with a few very big rainstorms.  Some days it will rain all day and other days no.  Some days we will wake up and it is raining.  We walk to church in the rain, pick up our investigators in the rain. and then after church it stops raining and is 105 degrees the rest of the day.  (This is what happened to us yesterday.)
Teaching things are going good.  Juliana, we are set to baptize her on Saturday.  On Friday we taught her about priesthood blessings.  She said she would think about it and pray about it.  Yesterday she asked us to give her a blessing and it was such a wonderful experience.  I had the opportunity to give the blessing and during it the spirit was so so so strong.  I have so much faith in Juliana, I feel so strong she will be able to beat this addiction that she has.
Carol is doing great also.  She is dating a less active member, but his kids family is way strong in the church.  She has been coming to church with them for a very long time, but hasn't felt ready to be baptized.  She has been progressing a ton.  We challenged her to be baptized on Saturday and she accepted our challenge!
We are, also, teaching a lady named Madalena.  She is the step mom of a kid who just left on his mission.  She is way cool,  she just needs to stop drinking coffee and get married.  Also, we found Daira on Saturday and she came to church with us on Sunday.  She has a lot of questions about the Plan of Salvation, which is very, very good.
Yes, Mom, I am really safe here in Pres Prud.  I have never felt afraid or been in a situation that was bad for me.  The Brazillions really have a lot of respect for us as missionaries.  They are very kind.
Thank you for everything. I am truly so grateful for opportunity I have been given to be here in Brazil.
