<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
know what happened. We have been working hard though. This area is pretty hard and we have been talking to alot of </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
people but not having lots of sucsess. We have been trying different ways to try to find people. We got a list of people who haven't been to church in a long time and started to visit these people too. To our surprise we have been finding that these people are really receptive and like the missionarys and also have lots of people.. be it kids or got married that haven't ever heard about the Gospel. I think it is super cool. I am excited to see what will happen this week because we will teach a few families. </div>

Other than that not much. </div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">Whoo Monday! </span><br />
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
I just really love Mondays because as a missionary you work everyday so hard. Even Saturdays and Sundays. Saturday and Sunday here is just a huge party and nobody does anything but then Monday everyone has to go back to work. But not me I get to enjoy my P-day. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
This week was great! We had a miracle happen. I am certain that the Lord has seen the effort we are putting in and he is rewarding us. We worked so hard this week, talked to everyone we could did everything, but we didnt have anyone that wanted to go to church with us. Saturday night at 8:40, only Twenty minutes before we had to be home we decided to pass by an investigator one last time that we had only taught one time to see if she was home. When we passed by, her and her son had just barley arrived home. She said she was thinking about our message during the week and wanted to go to church. So Sunday her and her son were there and they loved it. WHOO! </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
We will continue to work with them towards baptism! </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Hope everyone has a great week!!</div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">It's Monday! </span><br />
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
I haven't done email on Monday in a long time. So fun. Hope everyone had a great Sunday and is having a great Monday to start the week. This week has been great it has really gone by so fast.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Didn't have much time last week. But for those who didn't know I'm here in an area called Gomes de Matos with my comp. that I am training Elder Ferreira. He is from Minas Gerais in Brasil. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
It has been good to be back in the field. A lot different from the office. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
This week I talked to so many people. It is crazy. Since we have gotten here we have just been talking to everyone. We have a few investigators but none of them are really progressing that </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
much so we are on the hunt. This area is kind of wierd because it has a super ghetto part where there is a ton of people as passing by sitting in the road doing crazy things and a super rich part where nobody even opens their doors. You'll be in the ghetto but then you'll walk two or three blocks over and nobody will be there. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
I've really seen the hand of the Lord in the work. It has been hard but I know it would be impossible without him. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Love you all!!! </div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">Hi MOM!!!! I forgot that it was halloween! So fun!! This week sure was crazy!! It is a lot diffrent to be here out in the field, but is really good. I am in a area called Gomes de Matos. If you go into google maps you can put in the word MONTESE and that is the neighborhood I live in. </span></span><br />
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
It is literally right next to the airport. haha I think president wanted to play a joke on me or something. I'ts fine though I can just see planes flying over all the time. My comps. name is Elder Ferreira he is a Brazilian from Minas Gerais more down South. He will be a good comp. for this transfer. I am actually training him. He already has 6 weeks in the mission but the first 12 weeks you get trained. It is actually kind of wierd because Elder Soper my last companion did the first 6 weeks of his training. We were together so long then he went and trained him and now I am. Elder Soper went home. Super wierd we were really good friends here in the mission. He was really one of the kids that made the mission a lot easier we had a lot of good times together. He will be going to BYUI too which will be fun! Our family is going to need to get together with his family some day thay seem like awesome people. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
This week was pretty hard im not going to lie. It was a lot different. I was in the office for so long I almost forgot a little how the field was. I feel like I got to the mission again but now I just know portuguese and a lot of other things I didn't know. The change was just a little hard because we showed up in an area both new. Normally just one Elder Gets transfered at a time so somebody knows the area the members the investigators... but no. We had to walk quite a bit to get orientated. There is no investigators here either so we are starting from scratch. It has been pretty hot too. This time of year is about the hottest. I've been using a lot of sun screen in the hot sun. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Sounds like fun! Hope everyone has a very Happy halloween!!! </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Sure do love you a lot mom! Sorry I didn't get to write a ton. I didn't send a group email just to you because you are the best! Have a great week. </div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">Bom dia todos,</span><br />
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
This week was great! So I have also officially been in my area for a year! </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Last Wednesday I did one year in the area and my Comp. Elder Kroon did </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
one year in the mission. I got to this area when he left to go to the MTC haha! </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Seems super weird to me how fast this year has gone! It's also going to be transfers </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
next week so I am a little nervous but super excited. I could go anywhere in the mission!!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
This week I really saw the hand of the Lord in the work many times. He really guides his </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
children and cares and watches for them. It always seems like right when you are leaving the area </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
you see a ton of things happening and all the miracles. We have been working with some few less active members this week and trying to find families. This week as we were teaching a man that has</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
really struggled and came to an all time low, asked if I could give him a Priesthood blessing. He is a less active and we found him right when he was needing help. It was a very neat experience. I could feel the love that God has for each one of his children. How much he loved that man that had been struggling so much. It doesn't matter how far out we are or what we have done but God continues to love us. It's not an excuse for sin but he wants us back with him he wants us on his side. God cares and is always there waiting for us to return to him. What an awesome thing right??? The Gospel is awesome! </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Also a funny story for the week... So me and my comp. Elder Kroon have to take all the calls about the medical stuff because Sister Chamberlain is still learning Portuguese. As you can imagine sometimes we get some funny calls. The Brazilians are usually the funny ones that freak out a little more, don't know why but that's just how they are. So Elder Kroon got a call this week with an Elder freakin out. He said... "ahhhh Elder Kroon my stomach is hurting!! really hurting!! Like you know it's that type of feeling you get when your hungry and you can't feel your legs!!" Elder Kroon just didn't know what to say, he just said "Oh ya I know exactly what your talking about.. let me just talk to Sister Chamberlain and call you back in a minute." haha Just the funny things Brazilians say!! </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Anywho hope all ya are A-OK!!! </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Love you all!!</div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">This week was super great! </span><br />
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
I keep thinking it is Tuesday or Wendsday but it is already Saturday. What the heck! Yesterday I was thinking... wow I'm not going to have enough money for food the rest of the week because it is only Tuesday but then I remembered it was Friday!! haha This week went by so fast! I would say the highlight of the week was a visit we had in the mission. This week Elder Marcos A. Aidukaitis from the 70 visited our mission. It was a great experience to be and learn with him. Being here in the office was also cool because we had about an hour and a half to just sit down with him and talk about the mission, what was happening and what we can do better. One of the things I learned the most was about Faith. Something I always love learning and talking about. We can not do anything without faith. We need faith to do anything. Miracles have never happened without first by faith. If you want to study a great chapter I recommend reading Ether 12 in the Book of Mormon. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Other than that we are just working really hard. I always love the chance to get out and work, there is nothing better!! </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Love you all! Hope everyone is loving life! Always remember to be happy and just love life!! </div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">This week was great!! </span><br />
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Passed by super duper fast but it was great!! </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
The highlight of the week for me was probably conference!! </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
I thought it was just awesome!! Was so cool to be able to hear from </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
all the apostles. Something I really loved that talked about a lot was </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
our eternal home. We are here to learn and grown on journey through life </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
to return home to live with our Father in heaven. I feel like sometimes in life we get </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
so caught up in everything that we do, that we forget the important things in life </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
for little unimportant things. Things that in reality, don't even matter. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
This week was great other wise just wanted to leave a thought because I</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
don't have much time but love you all!! </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Have a great week!! </div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">Hello good morning! </span><br />
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Today is a new Saturday! Wow Crazy!! Oh and its 11:11 right now so make a wish! </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Today and tomorrow will be super cool I am really excited! It will be conference! I hope everyone will be watching to learn a little more. I always love this time of year and this chance that we have. I feel it is such a proof of the great love God has for each and one of his children. The chance that we have to hear from his Prophets and apostles. God literally speaks through them and gives us the chance to receive revaluation and answers to question that we might be seeking. Hope all you guys can watch because it will be awesome!! </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
This week sure was great! It passed by super quick holy cow! In the morning is October with is a little weird to me, but oh well I am excited! It was a pretty normal week in the mission office with not any huge surprises but my comp is doing great! Elder Kroon is really cool I like him a lot. He is learning everything that he needs to know so I will be headed back in to the field here shortly!! </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Hope everyone has a great week!! </div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">Well it isn't a lie. </span><br />
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Yesterday was the first day of spring. I feel like it is just kind of wrong to have spring in September but I guess that's how they like to do that down here. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
This week was a super adventure. It started off on Monday and Tuesday with a little trip. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
I got to go to Canindé and Crateús with Elder L. Santos the housing Secretary. We had to move some stuff from a house that we had to close in Canindé to a new place in Crateús. We woke up super early Monday morning and headed out. It was really fun being the first road trip that I done in almost 2 years. Crateús is a really cool place. They only have a little group there, but it is growing really fast. We had the chance to meet some of the members there. It was an awesome experience.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Yesterday was also insane, we had to stay in the office until 12:00 at night! I have never had to be at the office that late. It was so weird! Today we also got to go to the airport again so we´have driven around Fortaleza quite a bit today. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
The best part about this week is that we have a Baptism today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAYYAYAYAY </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
We are so excited! Her name is Fabula but I think it would be cooler if her name was FABULOUS. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
It has been such a cool experience getting to teach her this last week. I am pretty sure she has been the person most ready to join the church that I have ever met. We have known her for a long time because of the fact that she comes to church every Sunday. The reason she couldn't get Baptized is because she lived a long ways away but only passed here on the weekends. We were just sitting in church last week and her and her husband came up to us and where like "guess what"?? I started throwing wild guesses at what she wanted me to say but just couldn't get it. Then they told us they moved here so that was so cool. She was like I WANT TO GET BAPTIZED NEXT SATURDAY! </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
This week sure was great!! Love you guys so much!!!! Have a good one! </div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">Hey folks! </span><br />
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
This week has been great we have been so busy!!! </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
We started a new transfer this week which was crazy! There were lots </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
and lots of stuff going on in the mission office. We had 11 new missionarys get here </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
which is pretty exciting. I always love seeing the new missionarys come in. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Now I am companions with Elder Kroon and Elder Hulme. We are in a trio again.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
This is the third time I have been in a trio in the mission. I was already comps. with Elder Hulme </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
but now that Elder Soper left Elder Kroon is here with us. I will be training him here in the mission </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
office! That means I will only have about 5 more weeks here in the office then I will go back to the field! He is a really cool kid. A good old Idaho boy. He is pretty short but he is pretty strong. I'm pretty sure he could break sombody in two if we ever got into a bad situation. This week we didn't have very much time in the field because of the transfer. We were in the office alot. I am pretty excited for this next Monday because I will be doing something different! I have never had the chance to get out of the city of Fortaleza my whole mission but me and one of the secretarys have to do a move from one city to another and they are super far away from here. I will go to canindé and Crateús. Look them up they are a ways out. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Super grateful for every moment I have to be here in Brasil. It really has been the best experience ever!! Love you all Thanks for all the support!!!! </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Love Elder Orton</div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">Oi, Bom dia todo mundo!! Como vai?? </span><br />
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
One more week that just flew on by! How Crazy!! Twas a very fantastic week indeed.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
This week was a rush to get everything ready for the new transfer! There has been lots of </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
things happening here in the office. Transfers will be next week! I am excited this one should be a good one!! This week was also Independence day in Brasil. On the 7th there was literally nobody </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
around everyone disappeared again. Holidays here are interesting. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
This week I have been studying a little about faith. I was reading in Jesus the Christ about faith.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Faith is related to everything that we do. Nothing will happen without faith. We must believe and we must help others believe. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Not much to report but I sure do love all you guys!! </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Have a great week!! </div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">Well Hello! </span><br />
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Hope everyone is dandy! </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Can't even believe it is already September! </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
This week was great!! Lots of fun things happening. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
We started teaching an English class which was fun. We have started telling </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
everyone we've met in the street about a free english class we would be teaching in the chapel.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
People here are crazy to speak english, i'ts pretty funny! When you pass by people they will be like Good Night or good morning. A lot of times people see us and try to start speaking english then we are like we speak portuguese too, then they get all suprised like "WOW! That's so cool!! I didn't know Americans could speak portuguese!" This week was the first so it was only a few members but we are hoping we can find a lot of people this way! </div>

I started reading the Book of Mormon from the start again too! I love reading because every time I can always learn something new. I love the story of Nephi and the Faith that he had. Even when he </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
was around others that could of easily had an influence over him. He wasn't afraid to do what the Lord asked of him. I feel like life is like that a lot. We have many decisions to make. Sometime we don't know which road to take or why. We might not even know why but with the Lords help we can do everything. When we have faith we can do anything! I know that for myself and it is awesome! Have a little more faith and do what the Lord asks of you! You will never go wrong that way! </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">

Love you all!! </div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">These days keep on passing by faster and faster I can´t</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">figure out why. I sure hope life isn't like this because 'ill die</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">before long if it passes by this fast.</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">This week has been great lot of new things happing on this side of town.</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">We now have 7 people living in our house so you can imagine it is pretty</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">full. The assistants were at our house all week too so that was 9! It</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">almost</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">feels like a boy scout campout with this many kids. I also have a new comp.</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">we are in a trio now. Me Elder Soper and Elder Hulme. Elder Soper will be</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">training him to be the next secratary. He is also from Utah, which is fun!</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">This week I have been studying alot in Alma. Some of my favorite chapters</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">in the Book of Mormon are in Alma. It is really crazy how clear the</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">Book of Mormon is. I feel like whenever I have a question or I am searching</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">for</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">something I can read and it will be answered. As I read everyday I know</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">more</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">and more how true it is. Every time I read I learn something new. You can</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">feel</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">the love the Savior has for each and every one of his children. He wants us</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">to</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">return to Him and he gave us things to help us do that. One of those things</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">is the</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">Book of Mormon. I really know reading the scriptures everyday has changed</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">my life.</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">Hope all you guys can do the same!</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">Love you all and hope everyone is doing great!</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">Love Elder Orton</span>mattaronnihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00530886434852752817noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-853996046262509153.post-24596369759997597822017-08-27T17:24:00.006-07:002017-08-27T17:28:13.163-07:00Minha semanaAugust 12, 2017<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 12px;">Hey guys! Wassupp! </span><br />
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Hope everyone is doing awesome!! </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
This week was great, and lots of things going on like always!!! </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Being P-day we will be having our basketball game America vs Brasil.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
With new Brasilians in our house we like to play America vs Brasil. They </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
think they can win but they don't know what they have coming for them. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
haha Go America! </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
This week was great. We had a leadership counsel this week with all the </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
zone leaders. That morning I picked out a tie I liked alot. I was pretty sure that nobody </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
else had one just like it. When I showed up there were literally two missionarys</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
with the same exact tie as me.. I was like no way I need to go change. Turns out </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
that my tie wasn't so special. haha But I sat next to them so it looked like we planned it at </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
least. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
I don't know why, but this week I have been thinking alot about Faith. It is something that seems</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
really simple but it does so much for us. President also talked a little about faith in Jesus Christ </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
and how we need to have more. With faith we can do anything expecally faith in Christ. I have seen </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
it so many times in the mission. When somebody has just the smallest amount of faith it is enough. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
I love the 32 chapter of Alma. I encourage you to read if if you haven't. He talkes alot about faith. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
When we have faith we also have hope. Hope in things better to come. I've found that. When I really put my faith in Christ I've found out that whatever happens it all works out. Doesn't matter how hard your day is or what you are struggling with but when your turn to Christ with faith he will be there </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
to guide you through anything. I've learned that and I know that. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Love you all! Have a fantabulous week!! </div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">

<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
though! When it comes to sicknesses and medicine in Portuguese </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
it gets pretty complicated sometimes I'm just like well ya I don't know </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
anything you just said explane it easier haha. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
I know the Lord has been helping me alot this last little while. Just </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
when you get comfortable doing something he always seems to just give </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
you another job to do. It's not always easiest or in my comfort zone but </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
he is teaching me. I know with everything he does he has a purpose. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
He never gives me anything I can't do and I know that He is always there </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
to help. That's why I love Him. He's my best friend. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Hope you guys are loving life! That's the purpose! So if not, just love it! </div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">This week was great! </span><br />

This e-mail won't be super long.. but whatever.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
This week was the last week of the transfer. So next week will start a </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
new transfer. It has been really crazy lately with all the things happening.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
We didn't even have that much time this past week. We only got a few </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
hours in our area. Vladiana and Françivaldo are still in the process of </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
trying to get married. We past there one time this week and they are getting</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
what they need to get done to get married. Also they have been reading </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
the Book Of Mormon together which is super good! Pray that everything </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
will work out for them! </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
I've been great! Me and Elder Soper joke that we are eternal companions </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
but it's been such a good time being with him. We have become really close </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
as comps. I think we might even have a little more time together! Maybe we will set a </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
record! </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Love you all have a great week!!</div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">Hey y´all! Howdy doo? </span><br />
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
This week was super busy! We spent alot of time in the mission office </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
which was a little bit of a bummer because we didn't have a ton of time in </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
our area but it's ok we did have a huge miracle happen this week. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
We have been teaching this women for a super long time but she can't </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
get baptized because she is not married. Ever since I got here in the </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
area she has been going to church she was even going before I got here.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
She's been going for about a year and a half. We haven't passed there </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
for a while because she hasn't been able to get married. We have tried </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
so many times and tried to do so many different things but she hasn't been</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
able to for some weird document she doesn't have. Then Sunday she showed </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
up at church again. This time with her husband. I've never seen him there.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
We always talk to him about coming but he never comes. After church we went </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
to their house and talked to them about marraige again. They said they really want </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
to get married and they'll do anything to do it. The best part is that last week we </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
found a place that all the missionarys are going to help people get married because </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
This week I also went on many adventures with Sister Chamberlain! (The missions </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
president wife) She is in charge of the health of all the missionarys and taking care of all of them.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
What a huge resposability! Lately I have been helping her alot because she is still learning </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
portuguese. She is literally the nicest person on the face of the planet. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
So yesterday we went on an adventure all the way to Caucia. It's a little city more on the edge </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
of Fortaleza. It was raining all morning so everthing was wet and the farther you get out of the city the worst the roads are. haha! We made it there fine, did what we needed to and left some things for the Elders at their house. We got in the car to go back and Sister Chamberlain went to do a little u-turn in the road, pulled up on the bank and we sunk into the mud.. haha it was so funny. She was like oh no I'm so sorry elders now what do we do? Me and Elder J. Flores got out and tried to push but nothing happen. We were stuck. Luckly all the Brazilians are like the coolest people in the world and they came out to help. Some guy came out to help us but he didn't really know what he was doing. Then some random crazy guy riding by on a bike just rode up, threw his bike down and started giving commands. He was like Hey give me that shovel and just started going crazy digging. Then he was like we need some wood. He ran around the corner and came back with some wood he fond in the road and stuck it under the tires. At this point we were almost out but we needed a little more help. There were some people walking by in nice clothes and he was just like.. HEY YOU GUYS GET OVER HERE RIGHT NOW AND PUSH THIS CAR OUT! He didn't even asked he just comanded it was hilarious. Then we pushed the car out! YAY</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Just as fast as he showed up he jumped on his bike and left, haha People here are so funny! </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Got to love them. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Was a great week here!! Hope all you guys have a good one too! </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">

<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">Hello my people! </span><br />
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
I hope everyone is having a fantabulous day! Also hope everyone had </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
a wonderful week too! </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Was a great week down here in Brasil! We have been working alot </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
this week lots of stuff to do in the mission office with our new President. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Yesterday we didn't even get to go to our area and do prosalyting </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
which was a bummer:/ </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
I want to share a few things I learned this week since we didn't have a lot </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
of time in the area. One thing I got to take part of was a training the assitents </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
gave to the Zone Leaders. What I took out of it was how we always need </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
to be evaluating everything that we do. Is it good? Is it bad? How could </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
it be better? Everyday we need to stop take a few min. and think about</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
what we are doing. I have always loved doing this but I know I could still</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
be better. I remember one thing President Bonini would say was, You guys </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
are very good but you can be better. There is always something </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
we can do better there is always something we can learn. It doesn't matter </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
how smart we are or how good we are but we can get better. Something </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
I'm always trying to do be better. Better everyday. That's what I love about </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
the Atonement of our Savior Jesus Christ. He gives us that chance. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Everyday we can be better. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Love you guys so much!!! </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
I wanna know wha'ts goin on! Don't be afraid to send an email and pics! :) </div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">Hey guys! </span><br />
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
This week sure has been crazy!! </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
This week we got our new mission President. He actually got here yesterday night! </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
We got to meet him and talk to him and his wife a little bit. They seem like awesome </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
people. I am excited to get to know them. Today we also had a little meeting with him</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
and talked a little about the mission. </div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Getting ready this week was crazy. We had lots to do but everything worked out great. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
We had a zone conference Tuesday it was the last one with President and Sister Bonini. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
They have really been such good examples to me. I have had the chance to learn so much</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
with them. I have really learned so much about obedience and how important it is. I've learned </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
so much about the love that the Lord has for every single one of us. It has been a great </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
privilege to have been able to work with them. Now it's President and Sister Chamberlain! </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
I'm excited to work and learn with them! ´</div>
