opa! sounds like things are going good, today me and my comp went down town to get our money.- we get about 110 reals every 15-16 days = about 50$. --i dont give my money away, and i am saving it for an amergency or something. we also went around and found a place where they sell american candy so i bought a snickers. but it costed allot. i also baught 2 new ties and some pants because my other pair is stained with sweat and wont go away. this week me and my comp worked harder than i have ever worken on the mish. we set a big goal to challenge us and with the lords help we planned ahead and worked way way hard and the last day, sunday we still had to teach 3 lessons 1more with a member and get 10 more contacts in. so we knocked doors, called all the members and did what we could and i now know we really can do anything with the lords help, we just have to do our part. and we completed our goal. 21 lessons, 10 with members, 75 contacts 12 new invest. and some other stuff. it was the best week ever. one day when we were walking down the street to start the day, we found a box going to the trash can and it had a cristmas tree in it, about 2 feet tall with some old ornaments. so me and my comp grabbed it so now we have a cristmas tree at our apartment. the lord gave us the tree for the good work we did. dad said - cute- ehhh. is the sand rail getting heavy with all the stuff your putting on it? when i started the time to study seemed a little long the first week on the mish but now it just passes too fast and i learn allot every day. i want more time to study. dad, whats a stake light? thanks for all the help and for the letters and things, have a good week and cort- go to church. jord- is gears of war 2 good or what? alex- enjoy every day. mom love you, dad- thanks for everything and love you . love you all and have a good week.

Kenzie's visit to the zoo--he liked the toucan and visiting the biggest soccer stadium in the world (so they say)




Kenzie's Comp, Elder Snackenburg (He's gone home now)


hey, tudo bom?
there was some crazy stuff that happened this week! since it is almost summer here it rains everyother day and about 2 days ago it rained so hard and so much that the road in front of our apartment flooded about up to the waist and it wasnt only the rain but the sewer flooded up with it and. me and my comp didnt know about this until later as we had about 30 min to get in the house while we were walking home. we saw the huge river and there was no way to get in our house without walking in it. so we had to walk to our apartment in knee deep sewer and rain water for a while because the water went down from the waist to the knees. while we were walking there were semi trucks driving through and made big waves that came and hit us. so it was pretty interesting ( this was the second time to flood like this) the first time we took pictures of us in the water. ill have to print them off and send them home.
the work is going good here and we are starting to really work differently getting references and following up more with our investigators so we are recieving more blessings and guidance than ever. i know the lord is preparing his children here allot.
sounds like things are going good there, HHHAAAAPPPYYYY B- DAY MOM. - we eat allot of blackbeans, rice, meat, and farofa. farofa is something i dont know how to describe besides is like sand you put with your rice- you take wheat that is not ground up so fine, put it in a frying pan with butter a slice of chopped garlic and seasoning. i like it.
and just be an example with the lady and dont argue, just correct her and give her the right information about the church. but dont destroy her. and sound like the sand rail is improving it will be good to ride it later. thanks for helping me dad, and mom, and fam. i love you all and have a good week. read the scriptures every day and pray sincerely and together. prepare jordan for the mish. love you all
have a good week Elder Davis
