Ola De Novo!!!

Hello Everyone!

Well, since our Skype call yesterday, not too much has happened. This dear sister was trying to kiss my head...  I resisted, and she was a little angry, but I couldn't just let her kiss my head and have you guys thinking it was something she always does, because its not! haha.  Elder D. Sousa just let her kiss him. haha.  She is really funny and sweet, and I let them all know that I was grateful, and that you guys were grateful for letting us use their computer and internet.  They help us so much!

Fun fact about Brasil.  Two times a year, at Christmas and Mothers Day, they release all of the prisoners from jail, so that they can go visit their families (sound familiar?). I had no Idea, but they say that the released prisoners just start going after the people that snitched on them, and they have a lot of deaths around those dates. But its a real thing. We joked that the prisoners have more rights than the missionaries because they at least get to hug their moms twice a year! haha.

This past week was kind of an emotional roller coaster.  One investigator was going to move, but then told us she was just moving down the street and would stay in our area.  But then she finally decided to move away. So that was kind of tough.  But we have one family that is progressing and is super excited, and one of them might move too.  So we are praying and fasting for these people!

But it was great to see everyone on Skype!

The only new update since yesterday is that this morning we went to the bakery by our house to grab something to eat.  We have one lady that works there that is our friend. She is always joking with us. I told her that I saw someone using a hat with the emblem of the bakery on it, and I asked, "Where can I get one of those hats?" She said, "You want one? One second. I will go get one." And she brought one for all of us. So it was pretty sweet! I would send a picture, but the internet in the lan house is super bad right now. Next week I will send the picture of this cool hat I got from the bakery by our house!

I hope all is well!  Have a great week, and I love you guys!
