Week

This was John's favorite drink when he served in Brazil. 

so this week was good. hard but good!!! we had a meeting with president for all of the missionarys that are going home with in a few months. and they talked about finishing strong!! im stoked!! my comp and i are doing great!! we are getting along well. working hard and killing it!! ready to finish strong!!

this week was hard becasue we worked all week long with fabiola getting her ready for her baptisim!! she was excited and seemed very prepared!! on saturday the day of the baptisim her boyfriend who is a member was take into the hospital for some reason in critical condition. we couldnt get a hold of her the whole day. and finaly 40 minutes before the baptisim we found her. she was frantic about her boy friend so we sat down with her and she just started of talking about all that was going on. we tried to calm her down. we walk to the church with her. all the members were in the chaple and we went up stairs with her and said a prayer and gave her a blessing. in the end she didnt feel alright and didnt feel up to getting baptised. so she left. we made the best out of the situation and had a big family night with the ward. after she told us that she was moving to a different city... we were devistated. but if there is one thing that i have learned on my mission is that we cant get down on our selvs. so i said to my comp. well lets go find some news. so we went and found a new that night!! the week ended up being one of the best in a while  teaching wise!! im greatful to a lord and god that know me and want the best for me. i know they are with me and give me the stregnth to continue in the hard times!!
