hey how are you guys doing? hopefully everything is great! i guess i will just tell you all about my week this week. we have a lesson that we got to teach in just a litlle bit so i will have to be quicker today! i am glad to hear that all the missionaries are good in chile. i was wondering how kyler was doing. but i didnt feel anything here in são paulo so that is good. how is everything there though? i guess it is pretty torn up. that would be pretty intense. but ya anyways i will tell you about my week.
well we found a bunch of new investigators thjat will progress! this last week we continued having tons of exchanges. that is good though cuz i am learning. the assistant also came to do an exchange with us. but this last sunday we had two baptisms! Carlos and Conceição were baptized! it was pretty awesome. we didnt know if carlos would be baptized until about 2 hours before. but everything worked out. elder mendes baptized carlos and then i baptized conceição (who is over 70 years old). she didnt want to go under haha. but we finally got her to sit down to make it easier and we preformed thje baptism real quik ha. carlos also did a strange maneuver in the water ha. so they were interesting baptisms. i was praying that i would drown an old lady haha. luckily she is alright haha. but yesterday was also pretty exciting. we had our district meeting and then our whole zone went to jundiai mirim. it is a closed area(without missionaries) we all wokred there for the whole day. elder mendes and i taught 5 lessons, found 8 new investigators and marked one baptism in about two or three hours. so it was pretty good! the other elders did pretty good too. we are going to start doing this in one area every week. but i will probably be transfered this next week so i guess it wont really matter. the assistant already basically told me that i will be transfered. so this has been a pretty good area and i have learned tons these last two transfers here with elder mendes. it is pretty easy being a junior with an awesome comp haha. so that kinda makes me not to excited to be transfered hah. but we will see whyat happens this next week.
well thanks for everything! mom can you make sure to send my emails to my friends too. jay dee said it has been a while since he has heard from me. it sounds like all my friends are doing good though! james and tyson are zone leaders and baptizing everyone and jay dee is having a lot of success and working tons in the mission offices. and jon is doing good too. but that was good to get an update on everyone! but love you!
love,
elder long
