Ahoy family and fans!

| Happy Mother's Day!!! |
So I told you most of my week about
how all my appointments fell and we were left wandering and trying to find the
elect... However, the baptism font looks SO miserable and dry.... Heck all of
the leaves are falling in there so we REALLY need to make this week count for
Gabriel (another investigator with a date this weekend. WISH ME LUCK) so Pence
and I devised a PLAN to make sure we get the font up and running again. We are
making some mighty "sacrifices" on our part to make this work...

So we are going to stop eating at
bakeries FOR GOOD. We only go there P-days for our weekly bread and that’s it.
We stocked up pretty well. Also we ought to STOP talking about food and
stopping for pastels... so every time food is the topic, we will change it to
"baptism" (such as describing the perfect music and stuff at a
baptism. NERDY RIGHT?!) And also we will be sacrificing our bad habits for
baptisms. Hopefully this works.

| P-day: the things you find at the store :) |
As for the subject line, we decided
to hit the big grocery stores in the Elder's area to stock up for a couple of
weeks since its WAY cheaper to buy stuff there. So basically we are stocked up
on snacks, food and everything we need for a couple of weeks (save it for
bread, ham and cheese, fruits, the weekly essentials which ain't much)
Boring stuff, I know but lemme get
to the good things that happened. We cut off a lot of non-progressing
investigators, which is sad but we have already made like 4-5 appointments this
week based on contacts we made last night and this morning. Actually, this
morning we missed the bus that takes us downtown so we stopped at a clothes
shop nearby and the owner is actually a REALLY inactive member. I don’t even
think her records were transferred to Dourados because she doesn’t really know
what time church starts or ANYTHING! I am so glad we missed the bus because her
9 year old daughter loves primary and now she can come to church on Sundays.
Like I've said, there’s a purpose for everything, even missing the bus.

Wow I am SO happy that I was able to
do the best Skype call with ALL OF YOU!! I was SO excited I couldn’t even sleep
last night.
So I am in great health, avoiding fats,
sugars, and bakeries that tempt me this week but I just remembered what Jesus
said "Man cannot live by bread alone" so I can live on my stocked up
snacks that I carry with me and fruits. Man finding a good apple here is HARD.
But I found some seedless grapes so I am GREAT! :) I love you all SO MUCH! I feel like the Skype call was the motivation I need to keep me
going. Your advice helped me a lot mom, and dad thanks for bringing Chicken to
the call as well, even though he wanted to talk to the juicer instead of me :) I enjoyed
hearing him sing again. He is such a nerdy bird. Plus I’ve got loads of pics to
show you all :) I love you so much thanks for the motivation and I WILL WORK
HARD! Batizar até o pó!
