This week was awesome 👏 We tag-teamed it this week and the both of us baptized a person, or in other words, 2 young men were baptized by us. One of them was addicted to coffee and was drinking 3 big bottles a day alone, but it was amazing the moment we taught about the word of wisdom because he stopped altogether and switched to cevada, which is like the mormon coffee that isn't coffee that almost all the members drink. Now he is so careful not to drink anymore, if he isn't sure he makes someone taste it to make sure its not coffee. And the other young man has been wanting to be baptized for over 4 months but his mom hasn't been letting him but we've been working with him diligently to show to his mom that he is learning and becoming a better man the more he goes to church and learns about Christ, we were even doing Duty to God with him and he was'nt even a member then; but regardless his mom saw the difference and his desire over the space of 4ish months and let him be baptized. It is so cool being a missionary and being able to help/see the progress that people make as they follow christ.

We had district meeting in Jacobina (2.5hrs by bus) and we had a little fun the night before and had the meeting the next morning, I took some pictures of the city. It looks like utah a bit with the mountians so close, I like it and think its a pretty area. It was funny because after the meeting we went for lunch in the house of a member in Jacobina and after lunch our Zone leader and his companion started to sleep and one of them even snored! It was too funny, so I took a photo. :) I also took a photo of a (I think the translation is right) Freemasonry building, here in Bahia there are many of them, they are not very secret other than I don't know what happens inside; normally they are bule buildings with the symbol out in front, I find it interesting.
Other than this my week was normal, I bought sun screen because wow the sun is hot/strong already, summer is definety setteling in here. I was suprised to hear about snow at home, it seems like it snowed just last month but its more likely that the year just flew by and its winter again already.
Not much more, Love you people!
