I want to start off with a Happy Birthday to you mom and I hope the day goes really well for you! If there's anything you want from Brasil let me know and I’ll get it to you in a little more than a year. My new companion Elder Lamb is from Independence Missouri and is a huge baseball fan. We had the chance to play catch today and that was very fun.
As for my new area I really love it. I live in a house with another set of missionaries. I’m in a ward that is actually really big and the chapel here is really nice. I’m more in the interior of the country but there is still a lot of people. I also was asked to bare my testimony on Sunday but it went smoothly and wasn't very hard. Conference next Sunday will be in Portuguese so I have one week to receive the gift of interpretations. Honestly though I feel like I’m learning a lot faster and understanding a lot more. I’m still very far from fluent but I’m happy here and really like my companion. We share the ward with two other sets of missionaries; the zone leaders and a set of sisters and we do things a little different. Everyday we trade areas so we all share investigators and baptism. At first it was strange but I really like it and it works. We also had a baptism Sunday which was awesome! Originally just the mom was going to be baptized then we had a lesson and got their 8 year old son to commit and then the Sisters got the husband to commit a day before so it was really awesome to see the whole family get baptized. Things are going really well here. Thanks for all the love and support!
Love Elder Visser
