July 24 2012


Hey everybody!
 
This week was really good! We´ve been teaching a lot of really awesome people, and we have a lot of people set on the path to be baptized. The people in Rio Pardo are incredible. They are all so friendly, and helping them receive the gospel of Jesus Christ is awesome. Last night, we found out that one of the people we´re teaching has read 137 pages of the Book of Mormon in just over 4 weeks! That almost never happens. The same night, we taught one of my favorite people here. He´s a fire fighter, and he is way awesome. When we started talking to him, he told us that he had read 3rd Nephi:11 two times, and he wanted to read more, so he read 2nd Nephi:24! He is an amazing person, and is really excited to be baptized.
 
I´ve been having a lot of fun with some members here lately. The people in Brazil are convinced that someone down here invented the airplane before the Wright brothers. I think is name is Santos do Mor. Anyways, we will talk to them, and a lot of times they ask where I´m from. When I say North Carolina, I mention that it´s where the Wright brothers flew the first airplane. They immediately try to correct me about who invented the first plane, and we have a good laugh. The people here believe a lot of funny things like that.
 
Brazil is awesome, and I am learning a ton every day!
 
Sincerely,
Elder Day
