Hey hey hey!

Hey ya'all!

It's been a few weeks but here I am again!

Things are going great here in Parnaíba! We found out about transfers

this morning, and Elder Banks and I are staying here. Elder Souza,

one of the other missionaries in our house is going to Sobral. In his

place, Elder Manning is coming from Imperatriz! Elder Manning was

trained by my trainer Elder Harmon, so I'm really excited to talk to

him and get to know him.

We had a baptism this past weekend. A man named José. We met him one

night and taught his wife and his grandson. It was a really really

good lesson. And we gave them a Book of Mormon. Since then he's read

it every single day for an hour or two! He prayed to know that Joseph

Smith was a prophet and he received an answer. His testimony has

grown since then. He was a little unsure about baptism but we helped

him realize that with the Holy Ghost that comes after baptism, he'll

be able to understand so much more. That's the role of the gift of

the Holy Ghost. Well one of them at least.

Today is very nice, but it's been hot the past week. The worst time of

the day is right after lunch for about 3 hours. At 4:00 it starts to

cool down and the sun isn't so powerful.

Apparently my old companion Elder B. Santos is coming to Parnaíba but

in a different branch. I'm excited to see him again! It'll be weird

but interesting talking and not being companions. We had a lot of fun

together!

Well, until next time!

Love,

Elder Rackham
