So Carnival here was pretty crazy and unfortunately I wasnt able to send email last monday but thats ok. So I'm still in Irajá and the work is going well with my new companion Elder Ferreira. Hes brand new in the mission and right out of the MTC. Hes a great missionary and its been a good first 2 weeks with him. So we've been working with some great families here in our area and are excited for this next week when we will have another baptism! A great family that we met about a month ago has been going to church and we're excited to say that they're ready for this first big step in following our Savior and His perfect example for us. So I'm super excited to hear about all the great missionaries that are going to be serving here soon. Sarah Shrack will be learning Tagalog! Harrison Inman will be a couple hours away from me here in Brazil! And if other people got their calls, let me know! We have a sister leaving from our ward here in Irajá for the MTC to serve in São Paulo Norte! I'm so excited to here about the growth and the other youth that are deciding to serve our Heavenly Father and His children. Well its been super hot as always but I'm hoping that it'll start to cool down a little bit here in March and April.

So the Spiritual message will be super short today because of the lack of time but I'd just like to share a great scripture that I read this week for about the 100th time but I'm still finding new things. In Enos 1: 11 in the Book of Mormon. He talks about his experiences in the verses before and he says that his "faith began to be unshaken in the Lord." I love how he phrases this and discribes it as unshaken. Truly our Savior, Jesus Christ, loves us and as we grow in our testimonies and become more confident in our conversion to the Gospel, our faith will become like Enos'. Unshaken in the Lord.

Well thanks again for everything you guys do and thanks for reading. I think I'm doing a little better at this weekly blog thing. Até logo, cara.
