Greetings!

This week was very good. We have an investigator that's progressing really well and found some great investigators as well. We also held a talent show at the church on Saturday, which turned out really well. I will try to send the video of us singing at the show.

Matheus is very excited to be baptized this Saturday! He even came to church with a white shirt and tie yesterday. Thankfully, his mom is really supporting him even though his grandmother is going a little crazy about the baptism. We are working with his mom as well, but she doesn't have too much interest as she is already active in another church. 

It will be an exciting weekend because Friday we have Zone Conference in Montes Claros with our mission president, Saturday we have Matheus's baptism, and Sunday our mission president will be in our branch for sacrament meeting!!! It's going to be awesome. We have a goal as a branch to bring at least 150 to the meeting on Sunday. I think it's very possible and we are working hard to get everyone there.

We also found some other young people who made it to church. Thaís, Marta, and Douglas. They are siblings. And Thaís played guitar at the talent show as well! She is the only one who has received an answer about the Book of Mormon so far. She said that when she prayed it felt like someone was giving her a big hug and and she felt really peaceful! We will be teaching and helping them this week.

Well that's about it for this week. I love you guys! Have a great week!
