danilo was baptized

Danilo and his girlfriend (her name is Katia)

hey everyone! this internet isnt even working so who knows when i will be able to send this too you. i am writing this in word and will send it to you once the internet decides to work i guess! how is everyone doing? good i hope! so when is cheer state olivia? and bonneville baseball has been going pretty well i guess? sounds like they should do pretty good this year. you will have to keep me posted! well i guess i will let you know about my week here in Jundiaí!
it was a pretty good week. not the greatest week of my mission. i guess i will learn a lot this transfer. elder demásio isnt the type to say "lets go do this." and as you guys probably know, i am not very proactive either. but i am getting better because i am forced to talk more now. before i didnt even talk with the person before we started the lesson. so it is a lot better now! it was a pretty good week. i just gotta to say lets go and elder demásio will go but he wont even get ready to go until i say so. but its all good. i just got to rememver that we cant stop at our house during the day or we probably wont be leaving for a little while. but this last week we have been teaching an awesome family! there is ricardo, maria, jonaton, and a bunch of others. they have a problem with drinking. jonaton is 11 years old. he is pretty cool. he was the only one that went to church because the others were drunk or drinking ha. actually his uncle went too but we had to take him home shortly after because it turns out he was pretty drunk too haha. but jonaton will be baptized this next sunday. his parents are doing a lot better with their drinking problem and they are going to start on the papers to get married. so it will be a while until they will be baptized. there was 8 investigators at church this last sunday so that was pretty good! especially since a bunch didnt go that said they would! this sunday we will have 3 more baptisms. and this last saturday we had one! danilo was baptized and i will send you the pic with this email. but that was pretty awesome. he has a broken leg so we had to put some plastic bags on it. his leg came out of the water on the first try but we got it right on the second try. unfortunately a little bit of water got onto the cast. on sunday he was confirmed and so was carlos. that was good as well! but everything is going well here. unfortunately, nina doesnt want anything to do with the church. she knows it is true but she wont leave the catholic church. that drives me nuts!!! but ya it was a pretty good week! and this week has been going even better than the last one! so i am excited for the baptisms and everything this weekend. tomorrow we have our multi-zone conference. so i will finally receive my packages! thanks a lot by the way!!! but ya that was about all that happened this week. nothing to exciting haha. but love you guys!
love,
elder long
