whats up ya´ll!!! OCT 21, 2008

hello everyone! so how is everything up there is salk lake? this last week has been pretty good. i hope you are all reading with me still, cuz the end of the year is pretty close. but this last week of reading was awesome. one of my favoite parts in the book of mormon is when alma and amulek are preaching and they tell all the people what they are doing wrong, so they get all mad and put them in prision, dont give them food, take away there clothes, people smite them. they go through alot of trails, but not once does either of them cry out and murmur or anything like that. its near the end of all this that the spirit touches alma and he knows the time is right and cries unto the lord for help, and the lord destorys the prision. and this all happened because of the faith that they had. thats alot of faith, to be able to shake the ground and destory a building! it says that after that everyone fell to the ground in fear that the judgements of god had come upon them. can you imagen 2 men, held in a prision and the prision falls, and they walk out unharmed. just thinking of this scene....i dont have words, its just one of those reall cool book of mormon stories. thinking of how this applies in my life, there are times that you think that everything is going agaisnt you, but the last thing we should do is murmur, we need to wade throught our afflictions and if we can do this, god will bless us more then we can imagen. anyway hope everyone is reading! :) so now about here....i am still in gama sul, living with my distrct leaders. we have been looking for somewhere to live but no luck yet. things have been great, no problems here. the 4 of us today,( the other dupla) went to subway for lunch, it was on the americans.....hahah. it has been kinda nice cuz there is another american that is living in the house so i have been working on my english too...so i dont forget. he lives in washington, close to anne...i forgot the city but its on the otherside of the puget sound. anyway hope everyone is doing well. not to much change here, we are still working with that one family to help them get maried, we are taking them into brasilia tomorrow to do the legal stuff and then mark and date and all that for the church wedding. but other then that, nothing to new. its was allot faster today to clean the house with 4 guys, but its amazing how dirty the house can get in one week...with four guys. well things are great here, not much else to say. i love ya guys tons and thanks to everyone that has been putting stuff in the suitcase....i cant wait to get it!!!! well hope everyone is haveing a great week!!!! I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!
