hey everyone. how are you guys today? i hope you are all great. Sounds like you are all pretty busy now a days! but i guess i will tell you about my week real quick. i dont think i have got very much time today! this week was pretty good though. unfortunately, we werent able to work in our area that much this week. we had to go to campinas twice this week and another day to são manuel. i only worked in my area saturday and sunday. it seemed like it had been forever since the last time i had seen our investigators. we are really being blessed though!!!! we have got a great teaching pool now! unfortunately it is so big that sometimes we have to decide who to visit at nights because we dont have members to visit with us. this week has been a littele bit better though. we have lots of people to go on visits. so we have found time to teach everyone. i went to campinas again yesterday. it was transfers but i wasnt to worried about being transfered. i knew i would stay. that was nice to not have to worry about that! elder bavender is still my comp. i hope that everything goes well this transfer with him. elder nothum was transfered. he is a zone leader now. i knew he would be. so i took him to campinas yesterday and got the new district leader. i still think that is a rough trip. i have ridden the bus for a little over 27 hours in the last week!! that is a lot! this week is sweet though. we are going to teach so much. our goal is to have at least 40 lessons this week.
lately we have taught and found great people, elect people! but yesterday elder adam (the new district leader in Jau) and i taught one of the most elect. so we returned from campinas with the 4 sisters in our zone. they really wanted to be able to sleep in the same house together. they were begging and if they caught the bus to their areas last night they would only get there in time to sleep. so i said they could stay if they each did 60 contacts. they really had like 250 contacts in about 3 hours! but i called them a little later and they told me about a really elect lady named kelly. so i asked for the address and we went and taught her. she lives with her son and her brother. we taught her and her son. elder adam explained the apostasy very well. then when i gave the baptismal invite, she said of course! then in her prayer to end the lesson, she thank god for the chance her and her son will have to baptized into this new family!! i was so happy afterwards! they also did a lot of other contacts that were good. so it helped us out quite a bit since there were 8 missionaries in our area for about 3 or 4 hours! to bad it isnt always like that! well that was my week.
it sounds like the sporting world is pretty exciting these days! i was happy to here that millsap is playing so well! GO JAZZ! i also hope one of the little schools can bust the bcs too! GO HORNED FROGS haha
well love you all! you are all the best!
love,
elder long
