Well another week has passed in the wonderful city of Santa Barbara Brazil. I will start off by telling a little miracle that happened this week. We had the baptism of a man named Fabio. He is a husband of a member named Regiane. Fabio had been listening to the missionaries for a long time, he already knew the lessons and everything, but he refused to get baptized because he would say "I like my beer". This was always his response, but recently another set of missionaries visited him and they talked about eternal families, the elder (Named Elder Sorria from Uruguay) said to him "Do you believe that families can be eternal?" Fabio responded "yes". Then Elder Sorria said well you have to choose right now "An eternal family or alcohol? Which is more important for you?..." It was a bold statement but it was a true statement, that night Fabio became frustrated and kicked the missionaries out. But then that night he couldn't sleep, or the next night or the next night, finally at 11 pm at night he called us up because the missionaries moved and said "I would like to be baptized, I want an eternal family". His baptism was this Saturday and was one of the more special ones I have attended, both he and his wife were crying.
