Quanto Tempo (Long time no see) Elder Diaz and I Oiiii It was so good to talk with you all on Mother's day . S orry I got all tripped up in my English hahaha. We helped to build the branch presidents house. The missionaries were assigned "sand carrying". So the other missionaries got to carry buckets of sand up a flight of stairs and I got to lift up the buckets with a rope up the side of a wall. Soooo, it was a workout. But they were impressed with how hard we worked and it was great to help. I think we built some more confidence between the missionaries and  the President and I think helped relieve a lot of his stress. We are going back on Saturday to finish. We went and played basketball today in the morning . We also taught Elder Correia and Elder Souza how to play frisbee (which doesn't exist here) so we played ultimate frisbee. It was great. I think we are going to get our hair cut this afternoon .  There are a lot of little barbershops here ....

And we were going there  the third time and ran into a man on the same street. He said “hey  Mormons, where are you from?” We ended up teaching the restoration, and one by one his whole family  came out to the street and we taught about “ no we don’t worship  J oseph Smith and yes we believe in the same Jesus Christ  and yes we  really do leave our families for two years”.   Eles sao muito gente boa  ( really just plain ol’ good people) . I n the end, we got to see them completely change about what they thought about us . E ventually it was just the young couple (son and daughte...
