Hey everyone!

This week was awesome! it felt really good. We ALMOsT reached our goal of new investigators. we got 9. It was sweet. They all seem pretty cool. It was a pretty cool story getting 3 of them. We had an appointment with Panda (the investigator thats marked for baptism) But we called him right before and he canceled....and we didnt have anything else planned for the night cuz we were pretty sure on that appointment going through. And its pouring rain...and we didnt bring umbrellas....getting soaking wet.....so we decided to pass by this guy we contacted on the street the other day. We get to his road...and start searching for his house, come to find out his house # doesnt exist....so now were even more out of ideas...so I decided to just start knocking. We go to the last building on the street and go to the 7th floor, and knock the first door. They answer, a HUGE family, but they didnt want anything. 2nd door doesnt answer...then we go to the third door and this old lady answers. Usually old ladies dont ever want anything but she wanted to talk. We asked if we oculd come in and teach her and her fam, but she said just talk to her cuz her family doesnt want to listen. So we go in to the living/dining room and her 40 yr old son is eating dinner, we greet him and hes really nice. WE start teaching and hes participating, the old lady is listening, then her 16 yr old granddaughter comes in the room and listens! it was really cool. So we got 3 new investigators. God was like "im sorry your appointment fell through and its rainign hard...so heres 3 new investigators" God is a cool guy.
But our investigators are doing really well, Milton is going to give us a baptism date tomorrow. He said he wont let febuary pass by w/o him getting baptised.
Fabio is doing really well. weve just been his friend, which is what he needs. Everyone else in the church just pressures him to do stuff...and he doesnt have good friends so they yell at him for that. But weve started being his friend and teaching him and havign him change his life. Like last night we went to his house and talked to him for a while, then we talked about how people are happier if they obey the commandments and then by himself he said that he needs to stop smoking, so now weºre helping him stop! its cool.
Oh and on monday, we got to watch the SUPERBOWL! yay! we had a family night with Welton (panda) Pepi and Franciel and watched the superbowl iwth them cuz Franciel recorded it. It was fun trying to explain what was happening the whole time. It was awesome how the cardnals came back at the end....and with 43 seconds left in the game....the recording ended!!!!!!!! so as far as I know...the cardnals won ahah... (but i already heard that the stealers came back and won.)
Ummmmm and thats about it for my week. It was a good week overall.
have a good week todos!
