Feliz dia dos Pais!!!...???

Ola!!!

I had a little panic attack yesterday when I realized it was Fathers Day.  But then I started to think,  "Wait, it's August.  Fathers Day is in June..."  But happy Brazilian Fathers Day, Dad!!!

This week we had Zone Conference, and it was really great. I learned a ton, and we got to see some familiar faces from earlier on in the mission.  Elder Haynie and Elder Jacklin are in my zone again, so it was great to see them.

B-------- and P---- are going strong and progressing to be baptized on Saturday!  Also B--------'s mom went to church last week and really liked it,. We explained a bit about how her baptism in the wasn't the same as how Christ was baptized, and she accepted to be baptized Saturday too!

We are working with them, but as you can see in the pictures, they were super receptive when we taught the Word of Wisdom.  They had very few problems with this commandment, and willingly gave us the little coffe and black tea that they had at home.  They went to church yesterday, and again they loved it.  We are so excited for them!

But other than this, it was a pretty normal week.  And it should be another great week of work this week.  I hope that all is well back home, and that you are all doing well!

Love,
Elder Nielson
