Olá,

Margarida is progressing well and has now accepted baptism, but she was sick yesterday so she was not able to attend church.

We met a man named Fouad from Morocco who just speaks English, I explained what we did as missionaries and about the Book of Mormon, and later passed his dentist office to give him one.

Élder Smith, President's assistant, once told us that the Lord watches us at 3 o´clock, the hour to leave the house after lunch and studies, and blesses us according to our obedience. Thursday we had to leave the house early at 2:30 for an appointment that fell through but going to that area, we found a potential investigator family and talked with a less active member that has been away a while and has a desire to come back. Tender Mercies from the Lord.

We had some extra time Friday night before returning to the house and felt that we should pass Irmã Lourdes, she let us in and explained how she had been praying for the Élders to pass because her computer wasn't working and she had lost the conference talk that she was going to teach about Sunday. So we were able to print it out at the chapel for her.

We pass by the "prisoners" many times every day, (the people that hang out at the bars all day drinking and smoking with super heavy addictions) We saw a man run out of a bar and throw up from drinking too much alcohol. I am greatful for the Word of Wisdom and other revelations from modern prophets to guide and protect us.

Carnival started saturday and will end tomorrow with a water fight haha its pretty crazy to see.

Sunday after church we returned home and began to plan the rest of our day, when I started feeling bad, I went to lay down in bed and was there pretty much all day except for throwing up, and going to sacrament meeting with Frank that night. I didn't leave bed until 10 this morning and felt terrible until I threw up again. I feel a little better like 70% now and hope I will be better tomorrow.

Boa Semana!
