Two baptisms, things are great, and a ridiculously huge snail

oí família! Tudo bem?
So this week was pretty great--we had two baptisms! Nataly and Ruliân.
Remember the baptism of Maria Luiza and here family? That all began with Alexandre a little more than a year and a half ago. He is Maria Luiza's son, and Nataly is his wife. We'll begin to work now with her mother, Angela. Maria Eva, as well (Maria Luiza's mother) is a future investigator, but as of right now she doesn't have a great desire to recieve the missionary lessons. Perhaps you guys could include her (along with Joaquim) in your prayers to begin to feel a desire?

Rulian is a young man we've been working with since we arrived here. He's been wanting to be baptized for quite some time, but we had to convince her to allow him. Now will begin working with his brother, Mateus, to be baptized. This will be another challenge, seeing as his father, who they are separated from, decided against allowing him to be baptized. I think, however, if she begins to see a change in Mateus, she will concede with him as well. As of now, he doesn't have much of a desire to do anything. We'll keep working with him, though. Can you guys pray for him as well? That there may be a change in his heart?

Other pictures--a huge snail we found. Enormous. Ridiculous.


So things have been great here. We're still working hard. Hope everything is well at home! Love you guys, stay awesome! Be excellent to each other!
