Yeea! Training!

So I got the lovely call, and I will be staying here in Campinas as Zone Leader and training...This will be exciting! Haha I'm supper excited to stay here in Campinas! I love it here!

So the world cup is starting this week...things are going to get really crazy! We are confined to our houses during every game that Brazil plays ... More Studies!!!!

So we had a cool experience yesterday! Elder Scott, Ballard, Costa, Soares and Sister Stephens spoke for stakes here in Brazil ... One of the coolest things was Elder Scott gave the exact same talk he gave when I was in the MTC ... but this time he gave it all in Portuguese! It was the coolest experience to hear that talk again and learn from him again! I loved it!

Elder Loveless with his zone

They focused a lot on Alma 50 on how we need to have protection around our families, homes and faith. Also how important it is to work with less actives and help them come again to Christ.

We are teaching two kids, Luiz and Pedro. They are sons of a less active couple who have returned to the church. Well we are helping the sons work towards baptism ... As we were watching the restoration, the 9 year old leaned over to me and said, "oh this is about Joseph Smith!" He got so excited and is always reading the scriptures and they always have a special thought to share with us! I love working with families and seeing them come unto Christ! It's the coolest thing ever!

I love you all so much! I hope that all is well!

Love Gary
