Zone Conference in Foz do Iguacu! June 18, 2013

Dear Everyone,

Sorry this is a day late, but as you know, yesterday our zone went to Foz do Iguaçu! It was AMAZING!!! I sent some of the best photos that showed the widest views, but I took over 100 photos, so there will be a lot more to share when I get back home!!!

To answer your questions here really quickly before I get to the pictures:

1. Jason is sitting at his computer working on his dictator research paper that is not due until Wednesday, but his goal is to have it ready to submit to turnitin.com after the essay final tomorrow. He wants to know what dictator you did your research paper on when you were in Oliveira’s class? I don’t know who I did my dictator paper on to tell the truth!  
2. How many companions are in your district? Where do they all live/serve? There are 3 companionships in my district: me and Elder F., Elder W. and Elder S., (the zone leaders) (we work here in the 3rd Ward), and Elder B. and Elder A. who work in Palotina which is a city 2 1/2 hours from Cascavel.
3. How many baptismal interviews did you do this week? And on a related note, who interview your baptismal candidates? I hope that at least some of your 8 good candidates were ready and able to be baptized this week.  I did only 1 interview this week. The zone leaders do my interviews for my baptismal candidates!! We baptized only one of the 8, this week. Her name is P., and she is 15 and my first baptism from a member reference. The older brother of her member friend baptized her, and Elders S. & W. baptized the lady on the left in the picture. We are going to baptize P.’s sister this coming Sunday and their parents soon as well (they are married—Yes!)

 Now without further ado, this week’s pictures! (Sorry this is so short…)

 This is the color change that has come to pass because of the sun on my backpack!! (from gray to pink)

P.’s baptism. The man between her and me is the friend who baptized her.

FOZ DO IGUAÇU, one of the 7 Natural Wonders of the World!

The van that was supposed to pick us up at 5 in the morning was late, so we passed the time by chronicling our awesomeness by taking photos in the foggy street!!!

Me and Elder W. in front of the sign before going into the park.

Me with the little tiny waterfalls in the background!! The big ones are yet to come!

Some more of our missionaries in front of the medium sized waterfalls!!!

The Devil´s Throat!!! The giant waterfalls!!

Me, Elder S., and Elder W. in front of the medium falls. You get a little bit wet because of all the spray!!

Sister T., me, and President T. The sun was bright!
