Hello!

SO!!!  Conference was wonderful.  Everything seemed to be exactly what I wanted to hear.  I loved the emphasis on the family that was put.  I felt so grateful for my own family and excited to some day be able to have my own.  My favorite talk was probably Elder Uchdorf´s.  (I am so sad that every conference his accent becomes smaller and smaller! :(  I loved his accent!)  About how we can be the "hands of the Lord" in the lives of others.  I loved the Sunday morning (afternoon to me) session.  And the focus on the Savior on Easter morning.  It was such a good conference.  Elder Nelson´s talk even made me excited to look into Family History when I get back (.....haha....he did the impossible!)

The TV in the English room died at the end.  So I got to watch Elder Anderson´s talk and the Prophet´s last words in Portuguese.  Elder Anderson speaks Portuguese too!  He gave his own talk. 

Cida, Alfredo´s wife will be BAPTIZED!  This Saturday!  Can you believe it!  She had a hard time for a while with accepting that not a single one of her 4 baptisms in other churches were not valid.  But the more she´s been coming to church the more see´s starting to realize how much she really needs it.

Sister Horn hasn´t gotten better yet, but I am completely humbled to see that once again, while I felt like we have been accomplishing so little, one of our investigators has reached the point where she is ready for baptism.  I know that the Lord is working here with us.  Without him, it would not have been possible.  I know he loves the people here.  He has blessed us and them so much.  It is such a comfort to know that the Lord is able to and takes care of these people in all the ways that we are unable to. 

I love being a missionary.  Love you all so much!  Tchau!
