7/23/18 - Emma Letter to Family

Thank you so much for the article!

I'm not sure why butI guess my weekly emails arent sending. I sent this one twice. Did you get it twice? Did you get it last week? 

Mari- your farts are deadly. be careful. The show looks so fun! I'm glad you got to go and say hi to all our friends! You look great!

Hyrum - your hike looks so fun! I'm glad you made it to the top and saved everyone with your mad waterbending skills. 

I've been missing all my siblings a lot this week and I'm excited for all the adventures we'll go on together when I get back

Mom I got your hug thank you! I should get the package in about 2 weeks at my next zone conference Thank you so much!

Dad the hike sounds fun! I'm glad you survived! The pictures are awesome!

My DL has set a goal for our district to fast once a week for our investigators. I have faith that he recieed revelation but my Sisiter Training leaders s say this isnt healthy. I'm not sure what to do

also, we went contacting in a favella (cardboard houses) this week, we've clapped no joke every street in our area but we decided to try this one again. We found a family who said that Elders from the neighboring ward baptized 5 youth a month ago. THE BAPTIZED IN OUR AREA! Talk about frusterating. The other chapel is closer to them but they're in our ward boundries and this has created a hassel for the bishops and for us. This means they knocked doors in our area. We also found out that a lot of the less actives in our ward are actually recent converts. One lady said she was taught in 3 days and thought that was a really quick time before baptism but she was baptized and doesnt know anything. So many questions! We're re teaching her but nossa! These Elders have created a big mess for us to clean up. (Èlderes *Insert eye roll here). 

We have people progressing but finding people is proving to be an even bigger battle now that we've tried pretty much every idea in the book. We're trying to get more creative but there are days when I get home and find myself asking "What more can I do?" It seems like we're not doing enough. 

Anyway, hopefully we'll get these people in the water and they'll feel prepared and remain strong. 

I finished my 2nd journal today and I'm only in my 4th month. 

I bought my uke! I named him Paulo Sonho. He's a tenor and I love him! 

We're teacching vanessa. If you take shanel ludlow and barbara palmer in one brasillian body, thats vanessa. I love her. We're hoping to baptize her on sunday. 

Thank you for your constant support and prayers! 

1) Paulo Sonho. I love that he has strap hooks

BEIJAS E EMBRAÇOS!
