Hey family,

All is well. This next weekend we are finally going to have the Baptism of Ferenda. It took her a little bit longer to gain a firm testimony about the Church but now she has it. She doesn't want to go against the response that she received through sincere prayer. It felt so good to hear that she finally wanted to get baptized after all the time we have been teaching her and her family. We are still working on her dad who needs a lot of time, because his desire to receive a answer from heavenly father is not there yet. But somethings just need time to work them selves out, right.

IT was nice to read yours letters today. Way to go Cody, I cant wait to hear where you end going to. My guess is Texas. :) so you use your cowboy boots.

Good to hear how Quinn and Landon are going, especially dad´s comment about Landon that he is just being 2, he is a good fit for the family.

Have a good week.

Where is Ryan?

Hi all this is Lisa-
My dad found Ryan's Companion's website (click here) and now we know the exact city Ryan is in Marituba (seeing as those details are sometimes left out of his letters) His name is Elder Daniel Ferrato and he is from Hisperia, small world!

Oí Familia,
Tudo está bom com vocês, lá na Norco? Well how was news Years for you guys. I stayed in my house for all of New Year’s Day. Because there weren’t any people on the road so it was safer for us to stay in the house all day than walking on the road all by ourselves. I spent the changing of the New Year sleeping and well I needed that sleep. These last two weeks of natal and the novo ano haven’t allowed us to work to a lot to teach new people just the people that were already teaching. But the second day of the New Year a man stopped us on the street and asks permission to ask us a question. He said that he received a thought really strong to leave his and get on his bike that’s when he ran into us and ask a question relating to his past misdeeds. Anyway went to his and start responding to all of question that he had Questions of the Soul. He seems to be special and bright as we talked and responded his questions the book of Mormon. The point that I share this is that through that experience with that man I know that Book of Mormon really responds to the questions of ours souls that it really was written by prophets called of God that lived on the Americas. That it really is the word of our heavenly father. It has a special place in my heart and will always have.
I know that this is the true Church of Jesus Christ and that it has been restored to the earth by the power of God.
