My first baptism!

Hey! So I’m sorry I wasn’t able to read everyone’s emails. This week is so much better then last. Its like I have my ups and I downs, and at times its really hard. I am understanding the language ok. No not really… but that’s ok. Haha!

My comp is really good and has such a strong testimony. I love it here, its a really poor place but the people are amazing they treat me so well. My first baptism is this Saturday! I will be baptizing a guy name AILTON and my comp will be baptizing his daughter! It is crazy. The people are so open to the missionaries. I’d love to tell you so much more and send you pictures, but I have no time. I am always busy.

It has rained 5 days out of the 7 that I have been in the field. The streets are like rivers when it rains. It is so awesome! The language is so tuff, but I know that it will come. Micah I love you and you letter didn’t make me sad or mad or anything. I love you for everything, and you know that. I wasn’t able to finish you letter sorry, Erin. I will next week.

I am so sorry for not giving you all the details and writing, but just know I love everyone! Mom, Dad, Zack, Amber, Kenny, Amiah, Micah, Lyle, Erin, Steffon, Benson, and Ellie, hopefully I didn’t miss anyone. This so hard, but I am putting one foot in front of the other like dad asked. Again I love you all and please don’t pray for me, I will be fine. Pray for the people in my area and all my investigators. Oh yea my zone is Ganapiranga and my area is Renieri. I love you so much!

Love, Elder Reiss
