quick letter. Doin great.

Wow, the arnesen family is turning into baby making machines!!! I can´t believe it, 5!!! Wow, that is just wild!! I am so proud of all of you guys, everyone back home is doing awesome, Sounds like Justin is killing it on the field, that is awesome!!! Sorry if my letters don´t get to places too fast, the mail people are on strike, but I am sure that it will all work out. Some quick news from the mish, Penedo is finally going to get a Capela!!!!!! (that is portugues for beautiful church) They say that this Capela is going to be the size of a stake center, I am so excited!! I have to admit, after so long of these people waiting to recieve a Capela I am so proud to be one of the 4 missionaries serving here to see this happen. And speaking of the family name, I have been here for 4 and a half months now, and we contact EVERYONE, I never imagined that so many people would remember a name like McOmber. It is not just the families that we work with, I feel like we are famous, people will ride by on bikes and say, Oi Elder McOmber, I gotta admit, serving in a small town is a blast.

amazing, amazing letter... happy general conference!

Hey Ma, can you print the following email up for me, and put it in my scrapbook thingy, I really want to remember this email:

estou esperando chegar o mes que vem para eu te ligar novamente, para a gente se falar melhor.
estou muito feliz por você estar tendo sucesso em sua missão.
sabe irmão, você e espelho para eu ir fazer minha missão eu aprendi muitas coisas boas com voce, e tudo que eu aprendi com voce eu vou fazer na minha missão!!
muitas vezes paro e fico lembrando das nossas divisões´poderosas que nós faziamos, sinto muita falta disso tambem!!
mas sei que um dia o pai celestial vai dar um geito de nos deixar juntos de novo, e espero que seja antes de da minha missão.minha ala estar precisando de elder poderoso como voce, voce batizou e animou muito os membros de minha ala e nos ajudou a crescer.
cara, eu amo que voce seja meu irmão, e lembre-se eu sou seu unico irmão no brasil, kkkkkkk
saudades de voce, cara,
abraços
seu irmão, klebson chaves.....................................................................

Heather, I am so sorry that you have bullys, I wish I could be there to help you, Have you already asked him why he does that? A lot of people do foolish things because they are jelous, I think if you show him concern and love he will think twice about doing that. But, I am sure that if worse comes to worse Justin can talk to him.

Well, this conference was awesome, it started off with serious opposition and so my companion and I missed the first session, but we were still able to get a few investigators to watch, I was kind of nervous, but everyone loved it. Then sunday was a little more relaxed, our big family didn´t watch the saturday sessions, so we went over to their house on sunday and reminded them to come to conference, Alex, one of the teenagers, was still sleeping at 11 o´clock, and the sun rises here at like 5:30!!!! So I went over and literally pulled him out of bed, he thanked me later, I am convinced that a mission is the best dad training there is.kkk So, they all came to conference and boy was it a blast, I just sat there and talked with members and our recent converts in between sessions. While our new president of our branch, president Silveirio took them aside to do interviews. In the last session, Daniel, who is about 10, he is the youngest brother of the family of 8 kids. He is a very special kid, right now he is reading in 1 Nephi chapter 8 or 9 and he is understanding it very well. He let his seat half way through the last session to come sit by me, I put my arm around him and we sat there watching conference.

I gave him a piece of paper to write down what he thinks of while he is listening to the speakers. At one point he looked up and me and whispered "When you arrive home with your family it is going to be a joy right." I said, "I don´t know, I am sure it will be, but it is going to be tough without the friends I have here" He said " Yeah, it is hard to have my friends coming and going" When he talks he takes deep breaths and speaks with a little scratchy voice, but something about that kid reminds me of a little boy who dreams about pirate swords and purple dragon wings...Whatching him say these things touched my heart. I told him that as long as he is here in church with his family it is like I am with him because the same Spirit that speaks to me will speak to him. And one day we are going to be in Heaven, and there we can live in the same neighborhood. He gave a big smile, I am so happy that his special soul was placed in a family with strong adults and valiant brothers and sisters that all love God and were looking for His church.

I wish I could describe to you how it really felt, watching General Conference surrounded by my recent converts. At the end of the day, we are all just fighting dreamers, but we have moments in our lives that are like looking into a shard of perfection. To me, these moments are the molecules that make up eternity.

I want to thank my family, my extended family, my leaders, my seminary teachers, my friends, all of my heroes and gaurdians whose sacrafice brought me to these moments, I am eternally grateful for all of your sacrafices, and I promise to consacrate these sacrafices for the people of Brasil!!! This month I will dedicate to Uncle Travis, Aunt Emily and their family, I love you all!!!!

-Elder McOmber
