The Brazilian Adventure: Week 37 Febuary 10-- Feburary 16
My Dearest beloved Family and Friends
  Wow, this week went by fast. I think as you become a leader on your mission, your mission just goes by faster. Well being a district leader is a lot more work. I have to acompany all my districit every night and then talk to the zone leaders about how they are doing. and I have to go on splits with the other Elders and go on splits with the zone leaders every week.  So I don´t have to much me time. But it is so fun. I´m the district Leader of 7 missionaries. 5 Elders and 2 Sisters. I have Elder Dean, He is from Alaska. Elder J. Silva, he is from Berlin Brazi. Elder M. Silva, he is from fortalesa Brazil. Elder J. Braker, he is from Utah. My companion Elder Rezabala( or Elder He´s a bala, The r is portugese makes the h sound some times.) He is form Ecuador. Sister Barroso, she is from Argentina. Sister Velasco, she is from Mexico. It is a lot of fun. I´m so greatful for this great opportunity that I have to learn and grow. And to serve these missionaries. I´m excited for this transfer. I know that it is going to be crazy and a lot of work. I´m going to rock it out. I hope the lord can help me become the best District Leader that I can be. 
   Our area is recieving so many great blessing. We are finding a lot of great investigators. The Lord is trusting us with his children and we are jaming out. Yesterday in church. We had a 16 year teenager come to church. He was a contact on the street about two weeks ago. In the contact he told us that his grandpa was baptised in the church and that he remembers the missionaries coming over and teaching about the Book of Mormon and about praying about it to know if it is true. During the contact he said that he did just that and that the Spirit testified to him that the Book of Mormon is true and that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God. I was trippen out. It was so awesome. After that, we lost contact with him. But yesterday he was in church and us missionaries did a great presentation in sacrament meeting. It was great. I was able to share my story and bear my testimony of the power of members and a ward. And started to share about how my Burnsville ward helped save me and my family. It was great. and then Afterward Luca walked up to me and asked how can he get baptised? it was great. 
Love you all
  Be happy
Love the Elder Jones
