Well,

I only stayed for one transfer in Noza Suiça. And it was a good one. We worked and slaved for five weeks straight and we didn´t baptize anyone. Until the very last week. The Lord saw Elder Wilson and I in our afflictions and blessed us with a man named Aluizio. He is a humble man who lives in a one room apartment. He was baptized this passed Sunday. It was the first baptism in that ward for over ten months. The Lord really does bless you always, but sometimes it takes awhile.
Elder Wilson stayed in Nova Suiça where he will be a senior companion for the first time, I´m excited that he is going to have that opportunity to lead.
I was tranfered to the area that is furthest away from the mission office. We took a four hour bus ride to get here. It is a branch in the city of Jaú. My companion is a Tongan named Elder Fa, he is an awesome Elder and we get along great. He works hard and teaches with power and conviction, he has less time in the mission than me, but I am learning so much from him. He had a full ride scholarship to play football for the Iowa Hawkeyes, but he turned it down to go on a mission. He is a dedicated servant and I am excited for the chance to work with him.
I am feeling a bit overwhlemed and excited. I was called as a district leader. I learned form my last transfer, as a senior companion, that leadership opportunities aer only opportunities to serve and that it is more responsiblity and that the Lord expects more from you. It doesn´t mean that you are better than anyone else. I really have no idea what I need to do as a district leader, so I studues today in the missionary handbook under leadership and did an in-depth study that was very fruitfull. I am excited to serve and help the Elders and Sisters in my district and I am going to be learning a lot.
Elder Christensen is training a new Elder this transfer. He is an awesome guy. He will train a Brazilian, that is one lucky Brasileiro.
Today, i did an intense football work out and Elder Fa is going to teach me some Tongan hymns that they only have there. He has a video on the internet of him and his cousins singing this song on youtube, you can watch it so you can know who he is, and to here a really cool song. He said to search for ``How can I be Fa`` on youtube. It will be a video of three tongans singing ´´How can be, like my brother Nephi.....`´ I heared some Tongan Elders sing the song in the MTC, it is really great.
Well, I have a lot to do this P-day, but I am so excited for the opportunities that I am having to grow and I have learned so much out here.
I LOVE YOU NOODLE!!!

Com Amor,
Elder Nothum
