Happy New Years!!!!! Prospero Año Nuevo!!!!!! 
This week was pretty good. We had some good experiences and I have learned a lot about relationships and other things. We had two baptisms on Saturday, one of which was José Carlos. He is a really awesome guy (he knows fluent Portuguese), and had tears in his eyes after his baptism and his confirmation.  He used to drink coffee a lot and has changed, and yesterday he told us that one of his brothers wants to be baptized. 
The people here rock, I love sharing the gospel with them. It is awesome. 
I am so thankful for all of my blessings this past year and all of the experiences that I have had. I am thankful, also, for a new year to have more experiences in the the service of God. I’m thankful for a family that prays and reads the scriptures, and that I have this family for eternity.  I’m thankful for the plan of my Heavenly Father that makes it possible to return to Him.  I’m thankful for the sacrifice of His Only Begotten for me, and the opportunity that all men have to repent and turn to Him.  I love that I can share the most important thing that I have with others and am ¨trying to be like Jesus in all that I say and do.¨  To do the things He would have me do.  I am one of His representatives and am trying my best to act like it. 
Love for all in this New Year!!!!!
