Hello everyone!
This week was a little slow but still some highlights as always!!
On Tuesday we continued teaching the rest of A's family. His dad wasn´t there but we had the opportunity to teach his brother for the first time. The lesson was going super well and the Spirit was really strong when A got home. He was seriously so gone this man could barely walk. The Spirit left so fast and we felt very uncomfortable. It was really sad. We hope to be able to teach them some more this week and help him out with the Word of Wisdom. We want so badly to this whole family in the gospel.
Wednesday we had lunch pretty far away so we had to take about a 40 minute bus ride. When we were on our way the bus stopped to picked someone up. It was this guy Luis that we talked to on the street a long time ago. He is a super sad guy who has literally gone through everything. His dad and brother were killed and he has lupus. We were able to schedule with him to visit him after lunch. We went to his house with barely any time before we had to catch our bus to go back but we explained a little about our message for him and he smiled! It made me so happy that he smiled! He also went to church on Sunday and he liked it. I am so excited to help Luis find purpose and happiness in life.
Thursday we got to go to Joinville for a parade which was pretty cool. It was Joinville´s birthday and the Church had a group marching in it so they invited the missionaries to be in it. Peep me in the Liahona some time coming soon. Jk.
Our best investigator right now is W. He is 19 and his brother left recently to serve a mission. When we met with him on Saturday, he told us that he read 1 Nephi in a day and read all of the pamphlets. We just started laughing hahaha. But our lesson ended being 2 hours because he had questions about everything but we ended up marking his baptism for March 25! He also had a dream that he was putting on a mission plaque. So awesome.
This Thursday the entire mission will be meeting in Florianopolis for the first time ever. We will have a member from the presidency of the seventy visit us and I am super stoked. Should be a good time.
I´m out of time but I love you all!!
Peep the pic of the coolest graffiti art ever. In English: ´´And this is how I saved the world..´´
Sempre fica firme, forte, e feliz!

A story from Elder Scheer's companion this week:
We are also teaching this awesome, awesome guy named B that truly is like the only person who speaks English here and last night he had us over for dinner. In the middle of dinner, he stopped, got up, and brought us this giant butcher knife with the inscription of a cow with the different types of cuts and stuff and he said ´´I want you to have this, so you have something with which to remember me by´´.So we had the opportunity to walk home at night holding an 8 inch steak knife! Man it was so awesome!
They also saw some Capivaras (50 lb. rodents) swimming across the river (see pic below).
