•people may see me cry like every week looking at pics of
isaac in his cute little suit and nametag.

•we went home to study and plan during the game and here
you can actually here everyone cheering and you know when brasil scores and who
won. YAY BRASIL! usa disappointed me but whatever-- i want my brazilians to be
happy!
•my new companion is sister gusmão… shes so fun! she is 22 and a convert to the
church. but, her family is less active. she lost her dad just days after her
baptism. She is from a place by Sao Paulo called minas geneis or something like that. She’s 6 months in the
mission and super sharp. she’s making me a better missionary. i am laughing
again and loving it!
soooooo. cruz alta. has 4 wards. my ward is ala 3.
yesterday we had TWO investigators at church. wait, what? this hasn’t happened
in forever. one is the cutest young girl named mariane. she’s14. we marked her
baptism for july 19. then there is carlos. his sister and brother and other
family members are members of the church. he is 50ish. he does need to stop
smoking, but we marked his baptism for july 26. idk why i just love him. he’s
the cutest little man ever. Very simple and humble but I love it when he pulls
his book of mormon out of his plastic bag and gets all ready for the lesson. We
are praying so hard that he can stop smoking. it’s soooooo hard! don’t even
start kids!!
so i’m just happy happy. i am so happy to get to work
here in cruz alta. the members are great. REFERENCES! say what? goodness, we
have so many people we need to visit but we don’t have time! and the weather
has been great this week. idk why it got way cold like a month ago then it just
stopped…but i’ll take it.
S/O to my 17 YO sister abby. i told everyone it was my sister’s bday here..
not that they know her, but it’s whatever.
anyways. got to go homies. The Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints is true. i made a goal to finish reading the book of mormon in
PORTUGUESES before i hit my one year... in one month! ahhh. do you think i can
do it? i’m only in the book of mosiah. wish
me luck.
love you like A LOT ok?

sister faldmo
