Dear Family and Friends!

I am absolutely loving Setúbal still! The people we are teaching are doing well and I'm learning a lot with Sister Landbeck! We are both still pretty new in the mission, but we never stop smiling because we love what we're doing and we know the Lord is with us! 

Joel and Romario: Joel was taught everything and he passed is interview! He is so ready to be baptized, but he has to go to church at least 2 times and he slept in yesterday, so we'll have his baptism next week and he's hoping that we'll be able to teach Romario so he will want to get baptized this weekend as well. They are awesome and I'm so happy to be teaching them!

Vanda and Rafael: Vanda has decided that she's content with her religion right now and doesn't want to change, but she is still willing to let us teach Rafael (her 8-year-old son) and he is very excited to be baptized. I'm excited to teach them! 

Ivo and Marlene: They are doing great! They came to church yesterday and had a really great time, they're 11-year-old daughter learned about missionary work in primary and she got a "future missionary" nametag. She was so excited to show us! They are a wonderful family and they're progressing really well! 

Carlos: He is awesome! He gave us some African Cachupa this week, it was awesome! He accepts everything we teach him really well. He is having some trouble seeing why baptism is important because he was already baptized in the Catholic church, so we'll continue to work with him. He let us come over and play his organ this week, which was super fun! He rocks!

Sister Landbeck and I are learning a lot together, especially with speaking the language. But our testimonies are growing so much stronger. There are times when I walk away from lessons having no idea what I just said, I knew that it was the Spirit speaking, not me. This work is amazing and I know that the Lord is always with us. We are putting forth our best efforts here and I'm having amazing experiences. I absolutely love serving a mission!! 

I love you all!!
