Thank you all for the birthday massages they were all welcomed with big wide open arms. Funny thing, the 12 of Oct. was a big catholic holiday and it takes place here in Belem. It’s the biggest gathering of catholics in Brazil to worship the Saint of Nazare but moving on to better things. the 12 was also kids day here in Brazil, so the church had an activity for the primary and a few members had a cake awaiting for me thanks to elder sears spilling to the whole world that it was my birthday, but the cake was also taken in by big, wide, open arms( and mouths), elder sears took pictures so someday I get them for you guys .the cake is the biggest I have ever gotten for my birthday. The elder qurom president, miller, made it for me. He made a promise after his mission to help the missionaries out in any way that the missionaries asked or needed. This was fulfilling his promise, making me a cake.
Anyway we had to move the Basptimal date of Zezé back a week. So that was a let down to have to tell that she need to await another week after awaiting for 6 months to get married.
I am doing better with the language as the days progress.
Well that’s my letter for the week.
Take care.
Elder R. Spencer
