Well unfortunately no pictures this email. I forgot my camera at home. Sorry, my bad i'll get it next week. This week was great. Work has finally started to happen in our little town of Ibate. Our area is about a 20 min away from a big city Sao Carlos. It is often difficult for people here to get a bus or a car to drive every week to the big city so the church decided to try and have meetings here. We rent out a rather nice but small home,( i will include pictures next time) and we have meetings there. There has been a history of missionaries here, the first group was here in 2005 and then they were reassigned, then in 2011 some came here as well and unfortunately were reasigned as well. Finally in 2014 the missionaries returned and i am in the 4th or 5th set of missionaries here. Our main work this week and last was to see all of the people that the old missioanries were visiting. Needless to say the people from 2005 dont live there anymore, but we had to go and verify. This week has been more of paperwork and organizing, we finally got an official list of the members this Sunday and are trying to locate and visit them. Soon we will be starting to focus on finding people. We had to "clean house" before we started finding new people. I think there were over 100 records of people that we had to go through. But we are organized have a vision of what we should do.
