The Brazilian Adventure: Week 78 November 24 -- November 30
My Dearest beloved Family and Friends:
My new area is supper awesome! I am only about 20 minutes, on a bus, away from my last area. I am in the stake called Parkin Pinheros, in the ward called Jardim Record. This ward is supper good. We have a great ward mission leader whos name is AndrĂ©. Our bishop is supper cool. We have 4 missionaries working here. The patriach in our stake lives in our area. He has also served as a stake president AND a mission president. It is so cool. The members here are supper cool. I almost felt like I was in a ward in the states yesturday. It was really organized. The Lord has blessed me with a great ward. The only thing is that the ward has not had many baptisms for a while. But that is going to change here. We have 0 investigators really strong.  The Lord is going to help us fly in a little bit. 
My new companion name is Elder Lopez. He is from Bolivia. He is supper chilled. He does everything supper calm. He reminds me of Melo a little. haha He has been a member almost all his life. He seems cool. 
I got here ready to work hard. I first hit up the area book and made a list of all the Ex-investigators from the past and all the recent converts to look for investigators. This transfer we are going to work a lot of reactivation and retention and  working with the members andfallowing the spirit to baptise. It is going to be great. We are going to focus on letting the kingdom of god grow here. I am excited. 
This weekend I went back to Sao Marcos because one of my investigators chose me to baptise her. And so my companion and I did a crazy walk over there. It only took about 1 hour. We baptised the niese of maria. It was great to see Elder Queiroz again. 
Love you all, hope you are all doing good. 
Be happy

Love The Elder Jones
