Hey Family!
Sounds like you all had a great 4th, had a great BBQ, dressed up in red white and blue, and so did the dogs and guinea pigs. LOL! Looks like you all are changing. Grandma sent me a picture of me and Granby we took last 4th of July.... not only have you guys changed, but I have too. I was much skinnier then.
Sounds like Aunt Dee, Grandpa Boling's sister looks like she is alive and healthy for 84 years old LOL. If I've met her I don't remember her. I imagine Serenity was in Heaven when she saw all the crafts and mom was too- but more about the chocolate.
Serenity is sure getting tall! Is she loving her Guinea pigs?? What's their names? I think I should send her an email. Sounds like the Temple was amazing. I had a dream the other night and I was at the Temple I don't remember what I did, but I remember I had a dream, and now that I think I about it I think it was Thursday night, the same day you went to the Temple...... But don't quote me on it. I imagine its really pretty all green and what not.
This past week we had a baptism. It was super cool. Valmir, he is 27 years old. Hopefully I can send pictures this week..... Oh Friday we had a short Zone Conference in Riberiao and got to meet President and Sister Santos. They are amazing!!! And President, he has SO MUCH ENERGY!! He is full of the Spirit, but I think he was a little nervous talking to us. I also think that Sister Santos is going to start a new FB page for the mission, but once I hear something I'll let you know :)

It's been really cold here this last week with lots of rain, and wind so thankfully some members of our ward gave us some warmer clothes to use and extra blankets. They really take care of us here. I really, really love my area.
This past week we got a referral from Salt Lake City, UT. If you don't know what that is, it's when people go online to the church website and type some info like your address, name other things, or they can also call a 800 number and then Salt Lake contacts us and we need to contact people within 24 hours.
Great, so we went to this house and met Marco and Alexandra. They are lawyers. When Marco was younger he went to church a few times, but stopped going because he was scared of serving a mission. Many years have passed and now he and his wife want to come to church and be baptized AMEN!!!! They want their young son to be raised in the gospel and have a religious background. When we were talking to them they have so many great questions! And Marco remembers a lot from when he was younger, especially about the Prophet Joseph Smith.
We showed them the Church app, but they also wanted a paper copy of the Book of Mormon. Marco said he could read it in about 2 or 3 days. You GUYS!!!! This is amazing. They are so responsive to everything. And yesterday at church everyone welcomed them and one member wants to have them and us over for dinner to talk more. They have a date for baptism on 27 July but they need to get married legally first. But other than that, oh man I am soooooooooo happy!!! I feel like that's what a mission is, helping people especially people who really truly want it.
I think that sums up my week. We have new cabinets in our kitchen and bathroom-woo hoo. It's like a new house. I really love the members here. A president of a branch is the one who is helping with these renovations.

I think today we are going to go to cathloiv (Darcy: I have no idea what she said here, maybe Catholic?) fair today, with lots of things that are cheap so I am excited about that I'll let you know how it goes.
OH also the photos are from members in our ward.
The one with the twins and us and the books are what the girls made for us when we had dinner with them the other day.
You may have noticed I was dressed in red white and blue... lol and the other was in case I couldn't send you a photo today of my family reunion shirt, because I thought that maybe you would want to show people me wearing the shirt.

Anywho I love you all. I hope you are still reading the scriptures everyday and praying everyday.
Safe Travels!!! Have a great time!!
Oh also Sister Gnoatto opened my box because I wanted the shirt and I guessed you probably sent candy so she wanted the candy which is loved btw. She also said "I think you probably want something else now that's in there..." I said "what?" then she got it out for me and it was my blanket!! Thanks Grandma Sally! It's awesome!! She also said the clothes are super cute so I am excited about that when I open it for my bday.
OK love you all... I am super cold typing this email now lol. I have 2 pants, two Cardigans and two shirts. haha
With love from Brasil
