Oi Tudo Mundo,


We are teaching a woman right now named Andrea. She is the type of person that has lots of outrageous doubts and questions that have nothing to do with anything... well, some of them are valid, but the majority just make you twist your neck and think ´´Wait, huh?``
We have been teaching her for about two weeks now. Just to give a few examples of questions that she has asked
- ``Do you belive that everyone has a demon in them?´´
- ``I think in Heaven there will not be man or women, what do you believe?´´
- ``Have you heared that Eve might not have been the first wife of Adam?``
- ´´I think if someone dies and God lets it happen, then it was the wills of God that that person died. What do you believe?``


Well, she was give us all kinds of questions like this and we strived our best and follwed the Spirit to give her Book of Mormon scriptures that wouls respond to her doubts. But they just went on. Then, the other day I remembered a scripture that I use in Galatians to explain a little bit about prophets and apostasy every now and then. It is the first chapter verses 10-12. I explained to her that we cannot learn the things of God in the same way that we learn the things of the world. We cannot not understand the things of heaven if we look at them with our worldly eyes. We don´t receive gospel truths from men, but from revelation that comes only through the Holy Ghost. I told her that if she wanted to understand this message and receive an answer, she wouls have to pay attention very well to her feelings and thoughts that the Spirit would bring to her. After that night she totally changed and says that she wants to read the entire book of mormon to know that it is true. I told her that is great , but I promised her that she would receive an answer before finishing it.
She has her baptismal date set for the 19th of this month. I asked her how she was feeling about her baptism and she said ``Well, who knows?``
I stopped and thought and felt inspired to respond ´´God knows, and he will make it very clear to you that you need to baptized if you just ask him.´´
It has been so great to watch her progress and see the changes that she has gone through.
Life is good, but I have absolutly NO MONEY!!! This city is in the middle of nowhere. and things are more expensive. And, all of the areas in our zone are way far apart, so we use a lot of money for travel, and I am broke. Luckely, there were some members who have lunch place and they gave us free burgers today, or we would have just not eaten anything.
I did an exchange yesterday with my good friend Elder Long. He bought us a fried pizza. It was amazing. When i cut it in to it the grease just oozed out like blood. That is first and last one I will eat. But it was good talk with him.
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH NOODLE-INA!!!!

Amo muito vocês!!!
