Simply Massive Amounts of Love

This week has been pretty good. I really like my new area although it has lots of hills. I bought myself some botas de pedreiro or "brick layer boots" (construction boots that look just like dress shoes) so those should last me for quite some time. Don't worry Mom, they are very aesthetically appealing.

One day this week, we just kept meeting Bruno´s to teach, and one of these Bruno´s in particular is a young man who has lots of faith in God, and is just an all around amazing person. I just hope his parents allow him to be baptized because they are of a very restrictive religion, and whenever we encounter people of this religion they tell us to leave because they don't accept other religions.

I did transfer wards and am now in Ala Tímbu.

The biggest spiritual stumbling block for people is simply following through on commitments, because if they don't do their part, they cannot develop faith.

I have not been to the temple in Curitiba, and I think I will only get to go once at the very end of my mission

simply massive amounts of love,
