Hello relations, I hope this message finds you all happy and
well.
This week I have worked a lot and felt that I had some
success. [My new companion is Elder Whitney.] As a [new] companionship we are alright; we don't have anything that is
hurting us; we'll be alright. We just have a lot to do today; I have to
run a lot of errands.
We're working with a couple who need help. The husband
drinks until he sleeps, we got to see one of those. We were helping him and
when he starts to feel pressured he drinks and then another, and another and
another ... He needs help. So we're not going to be quitting on him too easily.
He wants to change; just it'll take time and him taking the thing seriously.
Other than last week having a member in the ward pass away
and me getting transferred I had some fun with the families. Wilson, Cleide,
Felipe Victor and Ilza... What a good family, Jose Henricke, his family,
Leandro, Jesica, Juliano... Em fim, there are a lot of people I'm going to be
missing from there.
There's the lowdown on mission life. You make friends and
then you leave. Here, I hope, I can stay for a while. I'm liking the area. The
members are great, the "ward" is small, and there's a lot of work to
be done. Anyway, here's my week, hope to hear from you all next week!
Elder Joel A. Smith
