Lets see, what else..... Oh ya. Last Monday, our pday. We spent the whole day with one of our investigators. His name is Diego. We walked along the beach, helped him with English, and just talked. Then we went and got açai, and went to teach him. Then he bought us dinner. So it was great. There´s a real problem if we´re spending our pdays with investigators and they don't get baptized right? But anyway, it was a little late, it was 9:30. So we started booking it home. But it´s on the other side of our area, so buy the time we got home it was like 10:15. But, what really makes me mad are the members that drive by and yell, "Oi Elderes! Horário!" Like yelling at us for being on the street. But hello!!! You know the rules, why don't you pull over and say., "hey elders, its a little late, can i help out by giving you a ride home?" Is that too hard? Ugh, just wish some people here were a little more helpful, and a little less nagging. But, ya. That's me on my soapbox. Sorry.
So this week has been a little rough. It was a holiday on Thursday called São João. Some holiday celebrating John the Baptist. They all build fires in the streets, do fireworks all night long, eat a lot, A LOT, of corn, and drink a lot of beer. Plus, the parties are a lot bigger in the interior, cities like Gravatá or Caruaru. So, everybody leaves the beach, and travels 2 or 3 hours to go to these parties. So there weren't really a lot of people here. It was weird. We´d walk down the streets and they´d be empty. Really weird. But hey, they´re having fun right?
That's about it. Just a lot of missionary work. Sometimes its really tough to be a missionary. Life would just be easier at home. But, I know this is where I'm supposed to be. I know its where the Lord wants me to be. So that's where I am. I can only do what I can, but that's what I´ll do. I love being a missionary. Knowing that there are so many people out there that i can help, that need me..... It just makes me want to be the best missionary i can. I don't know how to explain it. Its just a different feeling than im used to. But its great. I love it. I know this church is true. I love it. And i love and miss you all. Keep being your good ol´ selves.

Dear Everyone,
Another week come and gone. So yesterday was my 5 month mark! Yay for 5 months...... haha
Ok. This week has been a little tough. I have a new companion, Elder Hocker, so i have to kinda show the area and find people to teach and stuff. So its been different. I'm used to Paiva telling me what we´re going to do. We´re trying to find new people. It´s hard. There are a lot of big buildings that we cant just go knock, or clap, door to door. So we got like 50 pamphlets of the plan of salvation and wrote our phone number, the address of the church, stuff like that, and left it with the gate keeper guys. Hopefully someone calls us. That´d be great.
We´ve been teaching Maria this week. She still has a problem with her "husband".. But we´re getting through it, and we remarked her baptism for this Saturday. She´s an amazing woman, she´s just used to a different lifestyle. Everyone in Brazil is. It´s so different. But i can see the gospel really changing her life.
Something kinda cool is last Monday we were teaching Diego in the house of the ward mission leader in Setubal 1. There were also 6 Americans there for a study abroad program. They all had served missions in Brazil so it was like a lesson with 8 missionaries. But at the end, my heart started beating fast and my face got really hot, and i felt like inviting him to be baptized. I was a little confused because we´ve asked him 2 weeks in a row and he´s always said he´s not ready. But i asked him anyway. And..... he still said that he´s not ready. Kinda a letdown huh? But he said something interesting. He said he´s thought a lot about his baptism. He´s just looking for a bigger something. And he doesn't know if the bigger something will come before or after his baptism. But he´s really a good guy, and he´s progressing a lot. I know he didn't accept the invitation to be baptized, but i know there was a reason i had the feeling to invite him. And I'm glad i followed that feeling.
But ya, other than that just another week in the service of the Lord. It´s great. I'm really loving my mission. It´s super hard at times, I get really tired at times, but i know that this church is true. I know that I'm here helping people have the greatest thing they can have on this earth, the gospel of Jesus Christ. It´s amazing and i love it.
I love you all. Keep being the great people you are.

Dear Everyone,
Sounds like things are going really good at home. Well another week.... It was a great one. This week we focused a lot on Pedro. 2 weeks ago he finally accepted baptism after 3 years of missionaries. He went to catholic school and was a catholic priest. He was searching for the truth and was really trying to do good with his life. Anyways, his whole family are members... his wife, and his son. So it was really exciting when he accepted. So this last week was foccused a lot around him, making sure his questions, doubts were gone. But honestly he didnt have many. He´d been taught by missionaries for 3 years so he was pretty darn solid. The only question he had was where he could get garments... It was great. But his baptism was on Saturday. It was really something. We went there at 2 to help the family with food and such. THen went back at 5 to clean the font and set up more. The font didnt fill up very fast, and Pedro is a big guy, so we had to speed up the process by filling it up with buckets. And who says missionaries dont do a lot with their arms? Phew.... But the baptism was something special. There were like 50 people there. It was so cool. He had his son Aeron baptize him. WHen he came out of the water they hugged for about a minute. It was so cool!! The spirit was so strong. Then after, Pedro and Aerlani both bore their testimonies about family and all the missionaries that helped throughout those 3 years. It felt good to know that we were able to have a part and to finish and really help that family even more. Im really excited too, because in one year i get to go to their sealing in the temple! It´s going to be so cool!
Well thats basically the week...... except... TRANSFERS!!!
AND..............................................................................
im staying in Setubal. But Paiva got transfered. He´s going to be a Zone Leader in Olinda for his last transfer. Remember earlier when i said i was pretty sure i was getting transfered and he was staying and training? Well after that he and President had a little chat and Paiva told him that he couldnt do it. He needed someone to help push, or drag, him. So thats what happened. Ok so the part you all want to know. My new companion is Elder Hocker. He´s from Idaho Falls, and he laughed when i said Dad was from (Ririe?) But he´s good. Hes been out for almost a year. Im looking forward to get to know him.
Well thats about it. Things on the mission are great. I love it. I can already see it changing my life. Its great.
I love you all. Think about you lots, but not too much...

Dear Family,
Sounds like things are good at home. Well, this has been a good week. The most exciting news is we had a 2 baptisms, and marked 2 more. It´s been a busy week, teaching them everyday and such. We had stake conference this weekend so we had the baptism in the morning. They´re usually at night here, so it was different. But it was good. 2 young women, Leila and Estefani. Im trying to send a picture, I´ll work on that later.
This week will be busy as well. Tonight we´re going to mark another baptism for Diego. He´s a referal from Setubal 1. He´s 21 and our ward mission leader found him on the beach playing soccer. They talked, and he came to church the next day. He also came to stake conference, which was cool because it was in a different city. But ya, Diego is cool. He´s been coming to our english classes too. We teach the bishop and now Diego every wednesday night. It´s good. They learn english, and i piece together grammer principles. It helps me to understand better. It also is a great missionary tool. 2 weeks ago we were in the bishops office, and Diego started asking questions about the prophet, because of the pictures. Then we started talking about it. It just opens lots of doors for teaching. It´s great.
The other 2 marked for this Sunday are Maria, the awesome lady I told you about before, and a man named Pedro. Pedro has been going to church for about 3 years. His wife is a member, his son is a member, ... he´s just been postponing for ever. But last Monday we went there and invited him. It was great. The silence after you ask is crucial. It gives a chance for the spirit to tell them it´s true. He looked around and nobody said anything. And he accepted! It was a great night! So ya, 3 baptisms this Sunday, hopefully. 2 Men, and 1 Woman. It will be great.
Next monday is transfers. Im pretty sure im going to be transfered.... Mostly because President Emerick called Paiva. First he asked him what he wanted to do his last transfer, then he told him what will probably happen next transfer, disregarding whatever Paiva said earlier, so I´m not really sure why he asked. But, Paiva will stay in Setubal and train again, which means I´ll be transfered somewhere else. Im excited. I´m really looking forward to the new experience. New companion, hopefully someone who doesnt speak any english so i can learn more, new area, just new everything. It will be great.
Not much else to say. Life is good here. Love you all.

Dear Family,
Sounds like things are good.
Oh Brazil.... Life´s been good here. This week we marked 3 baptisms... Well, we kinda had the sisters help with 2 of them.... We´ve been teaching these young woman for almost 2 months now.... Leila, who was baptized 6 months ago and never confirmed, and Estefani, who is the older sister of Weverson and Amanda who we baptized last month. But we´ve been talking and teaching and asking about baptism... and... no.... So we got the sister missionaries to come and try. Some of the girly talk stuff. It worked! They´re both going to be baptized on the 4th, this saturday.... Things just work different when a girl talks to a girl.... but it´s great...
Then there´s my favorite. Maria.... She is the mother of Tiago, who we´ve been trying to reactivate. We´ve been teaching lessons, getting them to come to church, the usual.... But, last Wednesday, we felt like it was time to ask. So we did... she was hesitant. She said she didnt know... wanted to talk to Tiago first...... So we watched the Restoration movie.. After bore testimony and asked her to take Moroni´s promise, and to ask if the church is true and if she should get baptized. She said she would... The next day, we went by to check her answer. She was so excited to see us! She brought us in, and told us that she prayed, and she felt this warm feeling in her heart. She said she knew she should be baptized. She told us she couldnt wait till we came back and she could tell us. It was so cool!! It was really my first experience of someone "I" taught and they had a big spiritual experience like that. It was awesome.
And last night we taught Johnny... A referal from Lion, (cool name huh?). (PS Lion was the trainer of Irmão Dodge, my teacher in the MTC, they both served in Manãus Brazil) So, Johnny, he´s a tennis player, he has a "wife" and some kids. He told us that he knows he needs to change his life, so 3 weeks ago he stopped drinking. He still drinks coffee and smokes, but we can take care of that..... We bore testimony of the Word of Wisdom, and how God will help us, if we try to do whats right. He told us that we´re his favorite missionaries he´s talked to... Probably a lie, but thats ok. ..... But, he needs a good example, and Lion.... isnt. When we left, he grabbed a cigarete from Johnny, started smoking..... He has a woman, and a kid on the way.... We talked to him, he says he has a testimony, he just needs to change.... Ugh.... It´s ok. Just more people to help.
But, the wards here are different. Members are somewhat slackers. For example, our ward mission leader, a japanese guy... He hasnt spoken to us in a month. He doesnt come to church, anything. Lindenberg called him, and i guess he hates our ward. He hates how nobody does what they´re supposed to (hypocryte?)... So he has been going to a different ward. And now, he´s moving.... Ugh, just people are so much different here. I know if that happened in our ward, Carl would be there hanging on his ear till they did what they were supposed to....
But... it´s good. I love Brazil. I love my mission. I´m really looking forward to this saturday. We have our baptisms, and stake conference. It should be fun. I´m also looking forward to next transfer on the 13th..(really its the 15th)(????) Im excited to experience more, new companion, new area, new everything. I think it will help me a lot.
Thats life in Setubal. Love you all.

Dear Family,
Things sound like they're going good at home. I got Grandma's package. Thanks so much. Dont worry, I really like black jelly beans. And my companion doesnt, so more for me. Thank you.
Rain... Ya, we have a lot of that here too. But when it rains, it floods the streets. The canals overflow, the drains fill up, and the streets are like rivers. It's pretty exciting.
This week has been pretty busy. We had zone conference this week. And President Emerick called Paiva to help out at the office. So we didnt have a lot of time in our area this week... Kinda dissapointing really. But ya. 2 days at the office. 2 days at zone conference. Thats about it.
Zone conference was cool. They divide it into 2 days. Starts at 9 and goes till 4. They have breakfast, which is basically a giant box of cookies, and a giant lunch, which was super good. President and Sister Emerick give talks, and trainings, a training by the assistants, testimonies by the elders leaving. It was cool. Really motivating to do better. And i got to see it twice! Ya! Oh ya, and i got to see Elder Clark again. That was nice to have someone i knew, another friend. It was good to catch up.
We had a kinda cool experience yesterday. In the morning, we usually go to Borborema to pick up our investigators. Usually the bishop or someone goes and picks everyone up, because it's kinda far. But yesterday, nobody came. So we really wanted this old widow and her son to go. So we practically ran back to our house to get money for a taxi, went and got them, then went to the church. Then, after church, two members in Setubal 1 gave us awesome referrals. And, to top it all off, we found 50 Reais. We were standing infront of the church, and we turned around and there it was. Nobody came by.... Paiva said it was a reimbursment for the taxi... But it was cool.
But, everything is going good here in Brazil. I love you all and will talk to you next week.
Love ya,

Dear Family,
All is well here in Brazil. Well life is good here. Me and Elder Paiva have both been a little sick this week. So that's been a little tough. But we´re both getting better.
I finally get to play soccer! President invited our zone to play with him today because last transfer our zone(and district..) had the most baptisms. So today we get to go have lunch at presidents house, and play soccer and stuff with him. It'll be great.
Well, this week has been a little rough in the teaching... The other elders asked president to transfer them because "nothing was happening". So now, me and Elder Paiva are covering both wards. It´s tough. Its like opening an area. We have no references, dont know any members.... Its just tough. But we're doing everything we can. We taught a cool lesson in Setubal I yesterday though. The consol? for the United States and Pernambuco lives there. So we went to his house, which is super amazing. It's really beautiful. Wow. The best building i've been in. But they had friends, the teacher of their daughter. Her and her fiance were both really interested. Im excited for the opportunity to teach and share the gospel with that cool couple. But one thing that bugged me was the family of the consol is going on vacation this week and wont be there on Sunday. So the wife told our investigators to not go to church this sunday, but wait till they get back.... Who tells someone not to go to church!?!?!?! Especially someone you're teaching the gospel?!?! UGH!! BUT, they said they'd come. I really hope they do.
Love you all super much,
Elder Tracy
