Dear Mom,
Well this will be the last full week of my third transfer so next week I will be emailing you one Wednesday. To answer your questions yes we have a lot of bugs here especially flies and ants. They are always everywhere (formigas e moscas são muito chato e não vão deixar nossa casa sozinho) and it is a little annoying. We also have cockroaches every other day and we even killed a mouse a couple of weeks back. Fortunately the ants and the cockroaches don´t seem to like each other and it is common for us to find a dying cockroach with lots of ants swarming it making it easier for us to finish the job and get rid of it. I have only seen one snake so far and hopefully I won´t see anymore. There is also grass here and the majority of the trees here appear to be coconut trees. It is a pretty common to see lots of stores selling green coconuts to drink from. It is good to hear that everyone is getting their callings. I´m a little surprised Austin hasn´t gotten his yet since I remember you telling me that he sent his papers in several weeks ago. It´s great to hear that Captain America is doing well. I have been looking forward to that one. You will have to make a list of the good movies that are coming out so I know which ones to see. Well this week was alright. We spent Wednesday and Thursday doing splits with some members of the ward and I made contacts on the street while Elder Rodrigues taught lessons to people that are close to baptism. I did pretty well and made several contacts but it really is annoying just randomly stopping people on the street and talking about our religion. The girl that we have been trying to baptize appears to be having doubts and I don´t think she will be baptized. We have been teaching an aunt and uncle of a recent convert that was baptized shortly before I arrived here. The uncle (Aldo) is all set and ready to go and while praying for an answer from God he said he had a dream where he saw Elder Rodrigus and I standing next to God all clothed in White. When he asked God if this church is true God told him that he already knew the answer and after this Aldo said he wanted to be baptized. The problem is that his wife is still having doubts about the Book of Mormon and it looks like he doesn´t want to be baptized without her. Understandable but frustrating. Well I am out of time so have a good week.
Love,
Elder Todd Clawson
