BLAST!!!  I only have 10 mins left!!!  THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR LETTERS!!!!!!  They meant soooo much to me, I cannot tell you!!!  I wrote some of you back, and I will write the rest o you next week!!  So many e-mails and pictures- thank you so very very very much!!!!

Okay, quick stories!  Lots of stories, but these are some of  my favorite!~

Henrique:  met him on the street.  had an enormous discussion/lesson with him on Saturday.  He is incredible.  As we were teaching him i thought this guy is the next Bispo!!  Okay, well for a while i was nervous.  He knows his bible extremely well and is so intelligent.  We were able to answer his concerns with scriptures in the bible- took most of the time.  it was necessary for him to begin to except the BoM though.  During the lesson i was extremely frustrated because I wanted to help and say things but I don’t have the vocabulary.  i was reminded by the spirit that this is God´s work.  so I prayed and asked what He wanted me to do, what i could do to help.  I was able to help with scriptures in the Bible and then I felt very strongly to have him read Moroni 10:3-5.  Until that point we had talked about the BoM but not read it.  He read it and.....couldn´t stop reading!!!  He read to vs. 15 or 16!  The spirit came into the room like a bull.  it was incredible.  the spirit and the BoM are the most powerful tool we can use.  He said he would read the book at least  5 times or so, it was amazing!!!  Pray for him!
