May 20

I have no idea how much time I have left, so I´ll be quick. Life is good here in Cuiabá! I love serving a mission. It´s great hearing all the news of my friends serving missions as well.
Latest Miracle:
We were getting shut down by a cute little man, João. He didn´t want to get baptized anymore and then entered his neighbor, Altair. Altair accepted being baptized on the spot and is truly an elect! He is kinda slow, but very pure and has a great desire to know the truth and obey God´s commandments. He doesn´t know how to read, but Sister Sena and I will be going to serve in a community center to help out with a literacy class and Altair is going to participate to learn how to read and write! He is always early to our appointments--´an appointment with God is more important than anything else. Other appointments can wait.´ (Those were his words) :)
So, life is good. I want to wish Mom a happy Birthday tomorrow! Hope Kit had a good one on the 18th. I was thinking about you! Love y´all!

P.S. I wanted to ask if someone could forward this on to my friend, Matt Coffin. His email is mtcoffin at gmail dot com. Thank you for doing this! Matt!! Thanks for your email. I´m not allowed to email you personally so hopefully you get this. Email me your address and I´ll snail mail you and respond to your questions next Wednesday, k?
