The sun is strong here! It's changed or faded some of my ties and pants. Haha!!
Happy to announce that we had two more Baptisms! Maria and João! They are fantastic! Maria is such a good example. She continues to make the best choices. Her family is always drinking and making many, many bad choices. João has a sister that returned from her mission a couple months ago. He noticed a huge difference. Maria and João both want to serve missions one day!! Oh, and Sister Lago (Mission president's wife) surprised us with attending the baptism!
One of the great blessings of serving a mission is that we have an hour every day to study the gospel! I love starting the day with studying the scriptures and have learned so much. This week I will finish reading the Book of Mormon in Portuguese for my first time! I'm so pumped! I encourage everybody to read and study the scriptures every day. We need to charge our spiritual batteries!
So our faucet has been broken for a long time. It still works but it's really sketchy. Last week, it started to leak water and other Elders from a long time ago jerry-rigged it with a shoelace. So last P-day I replaced it. I also convinced the mission to pay a little bit more to buy a faucet with an attached filter. This would save us so much money every month and not have to carry a huge tank of water to our apartment every week. Anyways, we now feel spoiled with our fancy faucet! Oh, thanks Dad for teaching me how to replace a faucet--Teflon tape and all! Oh, and our neighbor Leo drove us downtown to get a cheap one! Leo is the best!
Don't have too much time this week, but I love you all so much!!!
Have a good week!
Love,
Elder Hillam
