A little taste of a transfer of Zone Conference

Richard, a man that Dee visited with these Sisters (Mendes and Pereira)and invited him to be baptized.  He accepted and wanted Dee to baptise him.  Very special baptism!

Just a glimpse of a typical kitchen in a church building ( this one actually nicer than most).  Pretty simple with absolutely no plates, pans, silverware........nothing.  If they are furnished with that type of stuff, it gets stolen...........by members!

We got to participate in another baptism!  (this was taken after with Elder Maciel and Elder Moura)
This was the night that our car window was broken and we were almost robbed, (it was probably happening right when we were taking this picture!)  I just happened to go our to the car, it was in the church parking lot and I think I scared the robber off before he could take anything!!  So glad he ran off and wasn´t in the car when I came out.......in the dark.......by myself!!

Me with the Sister training leaders after our Leadership training meeting.  Such amazing Sister missionaries!!

One of our very favorites!  Elder Pimenta.  He was the assistant when we arrived and served until he left, 4 months later.  It was hard to let him go.  He hated leaving too.  He loved being a missionary!!
