Hey Mom, how's everything?! All good here in Ponte Nova. It´s a little town, but full of big hopes for the salvation of God's people. My companion's name is elder Anderson. He is from Eagle Town, Utah, and he's only been on the mission 6 months, yet he speaks the language really well already. This Sunday we brought a family to church and it was a miracle to our eyes. Anderson said that for the past year they´ve tried to bring her to the church, but the mom of the family has been really lazy getting up in the morning. However, last Saturday we passed by their house and I left message about the importance of going to church. I bore my testimony and exclaimed that if my mom is able to bring 9 kids to church in the morning, she can bring her family! Lol, she smiled and laughed and said that she will go, then she did and she brought three of her kids with her. I always remind myself that I wasn´t a very excited member before the mission, but 've changed and now I want to help the building of God´s kingdom here on the earth. I´m always excited to hit the pavement and start working! Ponte Nova is a perfect little town with lots of hills to climb and people to meet. Love you, mom. Say hi to the kids for me. See you this Mothers Day facetime! TCHAU!!
