hey everyone!! how are you guys all doing?! hopefully great! i will quickly tell you about my week! on last pday, we taught a lesson at like 3 at the church. so after the lesson, we watched singles ward!!! it was pretty funny! it was nice to watch a movie ha. on thursday we had the opportunity of having a multi zone conference. i learned a lot and the president and assistants asked me every other question!! i was one of the older people there. it is really weird!!!! i havent been here very long and i am in a zone where everyone is newer than me!! crazy huh?! but i didnt get that envelope with the ipod cord. i got one from the pypers though!! maybe you could tell them thanks! they didnt need to do that! but i was looking to buy uno here and then i got one in their package! sweet!!! on friday we had a comp exchange with itupeva. it was alright except i dont really like exchanges because it takes up a lot of our time!! adriana decided she didnt want to be baptized yet, so on saturday we gave her a lesson of faith. where we help her to see that she really does need the baptism now. really, i just learned as elder mendes taught. but she was baptized as you all saw already. then on sunday after the baptism, we went to help itupeva earn that level of success i explained last week. they didnt have a single new investigator. elder mendes and i went there and found twelve in about an hour and a half. a family of eight!! and they will be baptized i am almost certain!! then on monday, wehad another exchange. i was able to do an interview. i interviewed a mother and her daughter. and it went alright. it could be tons better!! but i wanted to tell olivia and annie that they need to be careful!! becuase i taught a ten year old girl and turns out she doesnt want to be baptized becuase she thinks if she obeys the law of chastity that nobody will like her!!!!!!! she is only ten!! so i just want you to know that the heavenly father is more important than "friends!" you dont need to do that! and you shouldnt! so dont let anybody pressure you into anything! ok olivia and annie? keep making good choices with boys olivia! especially now that you are about 16!! alright?! cuz i got a lil scared when there was a girl, annie's age using tons of make up and worrying about this stuff!! but then on tuesday, we finished our exchange. we caught the wrong bus though haha. that was my fault!! then we went on another exchange!! i stayed in my area with elder eduardo. i am sick of exchanges!! right now i am in another with elder tippet hah. but thats alright. today we all went to itupeva and had churrasco(brazillian BBQ)! it was really good!! but ya that was pretty much my week! this week, we will have 2 baptisms, douglas and camilla. so maybe you guys could be praying for them! but thats about all i got ha! well love you guys!!! hope everything is good with you!
love,
elder long
