Another good week here in Maraponga, Fortaleza! the week started out a

little slow, but it finished off on a good note with a baptism. Our

Bishop in this ward gave us a task to go to all the member´s houses in

the ward, and leave a book of Mormon with them to write their

testemonies in it, and give it to another family that they know, which

I think is an awesome idea, i'm excited to see how it turns out. Our

mission president wants us to really focus on teaching more families,

and i think this whole book of mormon thing will help. we've got a lot

of guys that we are working with right now that range from about 14 to

16 years old, which is cool, but at the same time a little annoying at

times, because one day they will be really excited to see you,and the

next day they want nothing to do with you. but at our baptism this

weekend it was cool because all the guys that we were working with

were there and they were sad because they couldnt be baptized yet, so

next week i think we'll baptize three of them, which would be cool. We

are trying to find more families right now, because it is a lot easier

for people to stay active in the church when they have family support,

so we're workin toward that right now. Oh and today me and my

companion bought kites and we're gonna go fly them later, should be

fun, i've never sucessfully flown a kite before ha. till next week!
