Score! (letter from May 25th - a week late)

What's up family!! 

Things are going super well here in Sao Lourenço! Wow how the time flies by so fast! It feels like I just got to this area yesterday! Super jealous that you guys are in Powell right now! mMake sure we get another Powel; trip in when I'm home!!

This week was a good one, but way hectic! We are working a ton and are seeing a LOT of progress with our investigators and with the group! Yesterday we had a mom and 2 kids and her 26 year old nephew at church and it was super sweet! Her sister is a member and moved here to sao lourenço a couple weeks ago. It was way cool how we found them. We found them in our area book and went to make a visit at their house, which went well, and right before leaving, she told us that her sister would be moving to live with them! Score! Someone to help them! And she has been helping a lot! The two kids, Henrique and Angelo have been going to church for the last 3 weeks but the mom went for the first time yesterday, which was super good! They are such an awesome family! 

Yesterday as well we had our first young mens meeting! Whoo hoo! Until now we haven't really had young men, but now we are getting them! And we have Henrique now as well so we decided to start having meetings with them in the 4th corner of the salon! You will never guess who is the young mens teacher!? That's right. The one and only ME! haha It was way fun to teach them! We have 3 young men now but just 2 of them were there yesterday, but with my comp and me, we had 4 in our class which was fun! Some of the members were pretty excited about it as well! We are seeing the group literally grow! I liked teaching it a lot! It was weird though after all the years seeing dad at the head of young mens! Like father like son, right? haha The two who where there liked it alot as well. We've already started to do Duty to God with them, which got them pretty excited! 

This week we will be having multi zone conferences which should be pretty fun! Crazy to think that it will be my last! This week I had my temple rec interview with President because mine expired! My interview was great. President is the best! 

That's about all I've got for you now! The time is like all a blur. It is passing by so quickly! I hope you all have a great week at Powell and good luck to Lee on his farewell talk this week! Crazy to think he will be leaving in 2 weeks! 

Love you all! I love this church. I love the gospel and am so grateful for the knowledge we have on enternal families! The church is so true!
