Oh my goodness. It makes a missionary's pday to have as many letters as I did waiting for me in my inbox. Today is an awesome Pday. I love going to the temple in the morning and I love when we get to go out and talk to people and walk the streets of sao paulo. Plus today, this elder who has only four months on his entire mission, came up and just gave me a hug and started talking to me in portuguese. Made my day. He was american, from georgia. I could not tell at all. We were all just staring open mouthed. Como um jefe.
In other news. We arent allowed to take pictures of our e-mail anymore. But I read your e-mails and will try to respond as much as I can through mr. Cheney;s cookies.
What should I do about the debit card by the way. and also btw, those pictures I sent you in email should be coming through mail soon with descriptions on the back.
Wow. Ok I have ten minutes. Whew! Ok investigators. Not so great meeting with one of them. A new one "luam" but we learned a lot from him after the fact and plus that teacher is no longer our teacher any more so we dont have to worry about that one anymore. We taught the plan of salvation to another investigator who was one of my good brazilian friends here. He left yesterday, he'll be an awesome missionary. We had a lot of success with him as an investigator. He wanted to speak english way too much though. Thats not cool sometimes. I want to speak portuguese. But I did teach him a lot of english which helped me learn the language as well. Marcella is still progressing. However, we think she might be having some problems with the law of chastity, and... her parents dont want her to be baptized again because she was already baptized in the catholic church. She can join our religion, but she cant be baptized. Well Elder Hanna and I have our counter attack for that, for whatever direction we have to take tonight. If we need to adress the situation with her parents, we're ready, if her parents arent there, we'll go full throttle on the law of chastity and word of wisdom!
Lets see what else. Oh yeah, we had a great devotional yesterday! Elder Hanna, Elder Driggs, and I sang at that too. Its been extremely fun. The bass part was a moving 8th note line! What a treat! And Presidente Degne's message was so good! OH MY GOSH! I have never wanted to read the white handbook so much since that talk. I read it through every week, but I really think I'll have more purpose this week! He gave us 7 blessings from reading it that was so great! I might just forward my notes to you all! If I dont, Elizabeth has the seven blessings and so does mom because I sent them through mom.
By the way, can I get everyone's email and birthday? That'd be great! Boy oh boy, do I have a great spiritual experience for you that happened two weeks ago! I love this. Im going to have to send it through mr. Cheney's cookies cause I have 10 seconds.
ok. I love you all! Do what is right! Keep being happy! See yourselves through Christ's eyes, not your own, and be super happy! And write me letters!
Ama vocês, tchau.
Elder William Lovell
