The Brazilian Adventure: Week 95 March 30th  -- April 5th

My Dearest beloved Family and Friends:

We have been teaching this great family of about 7 people. And it is going really good. The parents, Roberto and Irene, have to get married and they also work on Sundays, and we are working with that. There is also a son in law who is together with one of there daughters, Tachiana and Gilmar, and they have 2 little kids. They also have to get married. And then there are 3 other of there teenagers named Nayane 17, allan 14 and Ruam 12. This family is awesome. The other day we taught about the word of wisdom and almost all have great problems with this. Gilmar, he smokes about 10 cigaretes a day. The next day after we taught this comandment, he only smoked 1. That day we gave him a blessing and the next day he lighted another cigerate to smoke it. When he took the first breath, he had a huge feeling to throw up and the cigerate was terrible. He said that he will never smoke again. It is amzing how the Lord does his work. That day we taught about the Law of chasity and about how we need to respect our bodies and men shouldn´t have ears pierced. The next day Allan took out his piercing. That was great too. They went to conference this Saturday and loved it. They are going good. 

I loved General Conference. I loved the Story from Jeffery R. Holland about the two brothers free climbing up the canon. It reminded me a lot of all my brothers. I began to cry when I heard that story. It was so intense. The younger brother was really smart to know that the older one would jump and was really strong to have been able to catch him in the perfect time. That story also reminded me of an experience that I onced had with Mike Shumaker and Bradley (Leroy´s Brother). Man that was intense. I´m thankful that Mike got out of that ok. 

These days. Elder Moraes and I have been running every morning and doing some intense exercises. We have been getting up 30 minutes earlier. It is going great. Feeling good. I can probaly go back and play some Football with Stanley. And tackle him. haha

I´m good. Love you.

Be :)

Love the Elder Jones
