pics of Christian's great friends in Brazil!

Hey Family,


I love you all!! This week rocked, when taught our investigators about fasting, then I did a fast with them so that Douglas´ Fiancé would get the will and courage to get baptised, and last night she told us that she will prepare for this week, so everyone, please pray for Ellen so that she can be fortified and have the courage to be baptised this week. The picture of us was when we ended our fast, when we ended our fast our strength returned, so we danced it off, then we had a little testimony meeting before the baptism, it was super spiritual, in fact it was so spiritual that their friend who saw us for the first time end the fast he felt that spirit and after helping him recognize what he was feeling he also wanted to follow Jesus Christ and be baptised. All I can say is Miracles are real and I am so grateful that my son is seeing all of this and seeing what is possible, I know that he has the potential to be an amazing missionary!!
We are making great strides for our goals that some thought impossible, but it is not over yet, keep up the prayers!!! I love all of you and I will do my best to send these letters, I feel like I am running a million miles an hour and there is just never enough time, but I will be sending letters....this week, much love my family,

From, your son and brother in Narnia,

Yeah Bust, Tim Tebow was all the rage during my senior year, it is always cool when strong people are believers,

This week was definately a baby week, Ródrigo, the man I baptised 2 months ago had a baby boy named Douglas, he is a beautiful baby and he was born on the same day that his sister (Mikaelly) was baptised, Ródrigo saw his first baby boy be born, then at night he baptised his step-daughter, it was an unforgettable day. Right now we are working with a lot of cool people that are being prepared to get baptised, they are like dream investigators, and we are working with this guy named Douglas, and through him we found his fiancé, and 3 of his friends that we are preparing for them to be baptised, his fiancé Ele is kinda nervous to be baptised, please pray for her.
But outside of my area life is rockin, Marenilda (My first baptism) called me yesterday and told me that she wants me to baptise her son, Enrique. So, next P-day my trainer and I are going to go back to Feitosa and visit the people we baptised, I am super excited! And in Penedo I baptised a super special family, but the mom didn´t want to get baptised, but this past week she called me and told me that she is preparing to be baptised.
Nothing is better than this work, and there is no better way to do it than to go all out, with my shield or upon it!!

new post, new year!

I am so glad for technology that you guys can talk to these amazing people, I feel like when you guys talk to the people that fight by my side you can taste a tiny piece of the magic. And for Heather, yes we are going to baptise one of the teenage daughters of Ródrigo and Andréia this wednesday, it would have been on saturday but Andréia is going to have a baby boy!!!!! This saturday. And we are working with this guy named Douglas, he is addicted to the book of Mormon and is super pumped to get baptised, he is also about to get married, his girlfriend doesn´t want to get baptised, but we are going to teach her tonight, we will see about her. Douglas has a friend named Wellito who is 17 who is also super hyped about the book of Mormon and learning english ;) He is going to be basptised in these next couple of weeks, I will send the pictures of their baptisms, but yeah, just working with them and helping the branch to grow, and looking out for Ródrigo´s family, they are having a ton of opposition, but Heavenly Father keeps giving me people to teach close to their house so that I can always be passing by and fortifying them so that they can get sealed in the temple, I´ve just got them, a family in Penedo and a family in Feitosa that I am waiting on, pray for them, I am always thinking about these families. But yeah, the mission is the best, and here in Rio Largo we are going to build the kingdom!!! I love you all and I will send more pictures next week!! -Elder McOmber
