Novidades!

I am so sorry, it has been weeks again since the last time that I wrote. Things are going here in Ala JD Consorcio. In truth, we don´t have much news because Sister Rizo has pneumemia so we have spent this last week or so inside, only leaving when we can manage a divisião which is not often. 

I did have a really cool experience with a less active member that we found a long time ago. About 2 months Sister Oliveira and I had been walking down the street and stopped to talk to a man who was pulling a trash cart through the street. As we talked with him we found out that he had been baptized when he was about 18 years old but hadn´t been to church in over 30 years. He didn´t live in our area but we gave him a Book of Mormon and took his address to pass to the missionaries in his area. This week I did splits with Sister Vieira and we worked half the day in her area and half the day in mine. While we were there we passed by to visit this man, Carlos. It was so amazing to see how much he had progressed since the time that we passed him off. The Book of Mormon that we had given him is now completely marked up. The pages are super dirty because he takes it with him when he is working in the streets so that he can study in the down time that he has. He practically taught himself the lesson that we had to share. I love to see what happens in the lives of people when they realize the value of the message that we are sharing. It was an experience that we rarely get to have as missionaries, passing someone off to other missionaries and then getting to see the difference that one conversation has made in their lives. 

I am already out of time :( Promise that I will write more next week!  Love you so much!

Here is a picture of my view. We are waiting for transfer calls right now so I don´t know how much longer I will be in this area!
