It is so perfect.....

Well first off happy birthday shout outs to Auntie Jane!! Hope you have a great day today, Jane!

So this week was a good one for sure! The weeks sure pass by way too fast! But this week on Tuesday I got my new comp, Elder Oliveira! He’s from Rio Grande do Sul or in english, the great south river! I got pretty stoked cause he is way funny! He was in my same zone where I started, so I already knew him pretty well. He’s hilarious and I already know this transfer will be a good one! He was called as a zone leader now as well, so I’ll be training him. Mom asked if I’m still a zone leader and yes I still am. It’s going way well and I’m liking it a lot. We are seeing real growth with the zone so I’m really happy.

This week we had the baptisms of Meire’s grandkids, which was super awesome! Oh man it was such a good meeting! I was super happy to be able be there for that! Meire was so happy, as well. Their mom still doesn’t feel ready to be baptized, but we will work more with her for sure. I feel that she will be baptized. It will just take maybe another week! Anyway, super awesome for sure! The youngest grandaughter, Bia is so funny and is always smiling. She turns 9 on Saturday so Meire wants to do a huge family night with us and invite a  bunch of people to participate! She’s amazing. She invites everyone she talks to to church! She added me on facebook, I think, and wants mom to accept her because she wants to talk to you! So, mom, practice that portugues with her! Unfortunaetly Morgana got super sick this week so we didnt teach her too much so I hope she gets better here soon.

Shouts out to C-bear on the tennis tournaments! Sounds like you're killing it! Man, I can’t wait to see you play, but I’m even more excited to get back and still be able to pone you! haha!  Keep it up, bro! And congrats to Lee on the ordination! And congrats on the survival as well!! Man what a noob! I’m glad everything is okay!! Super awesome that grandad went over to participate in the ordination. What a stud! What the heck, is that a beating staff that he has in those pics? Looks as though he may have gotten a little more strict since I left, but good to know that he is still laying down the law! The ManU soccer game looked like it was a blast! Glad that part of me could be there as I noticed that all my jerseys were used! Oh and finally, congrats to lee on being such an awesome missionary, as well! Keep up the good work!! 

I feel like I have more to write but I’m drawing a blank! haha Everything is going great here in Brazil! Every day my testimony grows about how perfect this church is! It is so perfect because it is lead by the Savior himself! I  don’t have a doubt in my mind about that! I  love you all and hope you have a great week!! 

LOVE Elder Holmes
