Things are going pretty well here. They just called a new RS and Elders quorum this week and put in people who actually want to do their callings. We are trying really hard to get the members involved in missionary work. We have a blind dude committed to be baptized november 17, so pray a lot for him. His family tries to get in the way of us, and on saturday we actually had to teach him in the garage so that it could be quiet enough for him to feel the Spirit. He is super prepared and really excited. We gave him the audio discs for the book of mormon, and when we asked him to listen to 2 nephi 31, he listened to the whole disc (ch 24-33). He actually understood everything and was able to summarize to us everything he read. He really understood all the stuff in 28 about the church that was the whore of the earth etc and agreed with that and also about the people saying they didn't need any more than a bible. He also really liked that several of the members stepped up to help him out at church on sunday. Also, in Ecuador do you remember a dude named wilfrido gonzalez? He is from Quito and was in the stake presidency when we were there. We were in the Inasquitos ward right?
> We teach in English and Spanglish all the time. There aren't enough Brazilian members to make their own branch, so there are three that come to ours. I taught one of them in portuguese. Yeah...English people have big cars according to the people in portugal. I really liked the quote from Pres. Uchtdorf about not being able to imagine Christ going from one place to another without stopping to help anybody while multitasking. Very true. I did get the package today, so thank you. Also, saw the video of the Jess family and going to the temple and stuff. I can't believe that Jared is considering going on a mission and I imagine that Vinson is now as well. The camera work there was slightly better than on the MTC videos. I laughed when they had you going over to their house in the civic and they had two camera guys in there. Was there a sound guy too or were the mics on the cameras? Vinny is going to the san bernardino mission on November 14. Also, his marathon is this weekend. We get tons of crap about the elections, or at least from the whites. None of the latinos care at all. I am definitely glad to be able to work in Spanish instead of English. Even the testigos are cooler in spanish. Had a hilarious moment the other day when I tried to give one a passalong card and he was all like soy testigo blah blah blah and I basically said so what?
