ENGLISH (sort of :D)

    This week was amazing!  First week with my new companion elder De Jesus.  He is really amazing!  We worked really hard to meet new investagators, becuase we really need some more! :D.  But it was great!  The bishop here really was a great example of missionaries and members working together. :D

    So transfers came and went, and I am still in Sobradinho :D.  I dont remember if i said this already, but My new companion is elder De Jesus, He is awesome!  he lives in Sao paulo, Sao paulo.  He has a year and a half on his mission, and he is really excited to work!  So i like him :D.  the members here really like our names though.  They think its interesting that an Elder de Jesus, got pared with an elder Darke, they thinks its like irony, and they make a lot of jokes about it.  I like it, it makes me laugh :D.

    So this week We really focused on finding new investagators.  We have a list of all the members here, so we decided to visit them all!  The only problem is when we do this we end up walking a lot!  Also the knee of Elder De Jesus is not really that good, so after we walked all day it was hurting him, and the next day it was the same thing.  However its better now, so i will try to be nicer to him and not walk as much, or as fast.  :D

    I am really happy this week though :D.  I have a companion that wants to work, friends at my house, and members that really want to help us.  So it is like awesome!

    Also i have pictures that i loaded :D.  its me and my companion, a small bear, and the babtism photos :D.  I am just happy becuase i remembered to bring my camera to the lan house to upload the photos! :D

    Sunday we had a meeting with all the leaders in our ward, were i work.  We talked about missioanry work.  it was really good.  However when we were talkinga bout missionary work, they didnt say what the missionaries could do, they said what we can do.  (talking to all of the leaders, and the missionaries).  They made goals, then they made plans to meet those goals. :D. Eu felt like i was really working with the members.  That it wasnt just us.  We still have plenty of work to do, but i feel like the members will be there to help at every step.  That makes me feel good :D.  When i heard this i thought of the talk of presidente monson a while back.  When he said its time for missionaries, and members to come together, and to work together.  I am seeing so many great examples here, examples of faith, of patience, of leadership, and of responsibility.  Its amazing really :D

:D
