Hey Everyone!!
This week we were a little worried that things would be pretty slow since everyone here is on vacation from school and work and we didn´t know if people would be traveling or not...but then I realized that we LIVE in the place where everyone comes to vacation, so this week went just fine. It was super cold the entire week and while everyone here is upset with the cold weather, all the missionaries are super happy haha. We found out this week that one of our friends we are teaching is in love with the Book of Mormon. Her parents don´t force any of their kids to be part of a certain religion but they encourage them all to pray a lot and find the church that they believe is true. Our friend, Gabriela, said that she has had all types of missionaries come to her front door for years and we were the first ones that she ever let in...super cool! We are talking with her parents now, too and they really like what we believe so we will keep working with them. Besides that we just had a low-key New Year. We had to be inside our apartment at 6pm for safety reasons. At midnight tho the Brasilians went absolutely crazy in the streets and shot off fireworks non-stop for the next 30 minutes, it was pretty cool. We enjoyed it tho and are excited to start the New Year and still have more time out here to serve the Lord! Love you all! Happy Birthday to Dad!!! and give the little ones lots of loves for me!!!!
Love,
Elder Michael J. Neilson
