Hey!
Good to hear from you as always! Sounds like 4th of July was
a blast. I heard some fireworks but I think it was still about Brasil soccer.
But I was on an exchange with an American named Elder Baisden. We celebrated
with a pizza. And you can´t email Isaac. He´s in the wild. He can email at the
end of the 6 weeks is what he told me. OH! I got the Barker Reunion package! It
came pretty fast, 2 weeks? Man, it was Awesome! A whole lot of sunshine for
sure. I loved everything, especially the letters, it was great to hear from
everyone. Can´t believe Kenzee and JJ ate at Elements, they don´t deserve
it.
Desculpa, mandei errado. Foi mal.
Anyway, we had a mission conference this last week. It was
sweet. We have 105 missionaries now instead of 205. Both of my companions from
the MTC are in other missions now, it´s crazy. I´m glad I stayed in Interlagos
with President Pinho. Our mission has a great reputation, and Pres. Pinho has a
lot to do with it. He is a great motivator and he talks to us all personally. You
wouldn´t think that he has 100 other missionaries and things to worry about.
The ward I´m in now is really good. We have a baptism this week, her name is
Lorena. She was Adventista, but when she moved to São Paulo she moved in
with her Aunt that is a member. She´s 17 and she´s already in the middle of
Alma in the Book of Mormon. We´re also going to get to couples married this
week, well that´s the plan. The process here is a little bit more difficult.
They have to marry in what´s called the Cartorio. It delays a lot and in some
places it´s really expensive. But it should work out good this week, it´s going
to be a great blessing for their families. I love you all. I´m so grateful for
this work and for our Savior.
Love, Elder Barker
P.S. Evanston didn´t Burn Down on the 4th?
