Cont:

 For the record I´d like the jury and counsel to know that I wasn´t the one holding the snake. That was actually my second encounter with a coral snake. The first encounter was outside our house in Uberlândia.

  I´m sad to report that I didn´t have any exciting encounters with animals this week, just the normal dogs and a couple owls that are always at the soccer field.

I did have quite the interesting experience when I went on splits with Elder Pimentel. We were walking on the sidewalk, on the way to a lesson, when the ground gave out from beneath us. We barely noticed and kept walking, but when we looked back we saw that we had made a 3ftx4.5ftx1ft hole. It looks like water had washed out the dirt under the cement, so when walked over it caved. We weren´t hurt in any way. I don´t think we even got dirt on our pants. To me it´s another testimony of how the Lord protects his missionaries.

We´ve been working hard this week, but missionary work is a difficult process of planning, finding, planning, teaching, planning, progressing, planning, and baptizing. The first eight steps are the hardest. We found a good number of people to teach this week, and we left our ´´mole´´ investigators in our area book.
Cool miracle this week! We were tracting when we came across a family of four( a mom and three kids). We asked if we could share a message with them, and they accepted. The mom told us that she and her daughter didn´t live in that house, but that they lived in Uberlândia, IN THE AREA WHERE I SERVED. I was able to give them the address of the church there and they said that they´d visit. Now we´re going to teach her two sons that live here. Que Milagre!

I think that that´s all I have to say for today.
Until next week.
