Greg will be speaking in Sacrament Meeting on September 11th at 11:00 a.m. at the Larsen Park Church. The address is 9621 N. 6050 W. in Highland. (The easiest way is to drive north on 1oo West in American Fork. Go through the 4 way stops until you get to the 4 way stop that has Merlin Larson Park on the right side of the road and a church on the left side. That's the one.) We will see you there! You are also invited to lunch at our home after.

5 Baptisms!!!!!
Mom,
Me and my comp were blessed with 5 baptisms yesterday. Katia, Carol, Giovanni--family were baptized and Bruno and Lucas some young men that was a reference from a member. Mom it was a really special day. I have really seen many blessings. I am so excited to come home, but I will really miss the many people that I have loved and served. I can’t believe that my time is just about up. I will not leave to go to the airport until Tuesday. Wow, that is just all I can say. Well this week was a little with teaching and finding people, but in the end WATER!!! Me and my comp are doing a lot better, yep you can’t hide from the difficulties you just have to face them. Well my week was really good. Mom I love being a missionary and I will really miss wearing the plaque that has my name, the church and most of all The Savior. My testimony has grown tremendously. Thanks for letting me know about the topic. Thanks Have a good week. Thanks for all the prayers.
Elder Shelley

Mom,
Well this week is doing better. That is good about Matt and ATEC. Mom I still don’t know what I want to do when I get home. Well this week was a little better. Things really changed. He still goes off on subjects so it makes the lessons longer but I am trying to really help him. Well we don’t fight anymore so that is really good. We should have a few baptisms this next week. I bought everyone jerseys, from different teams I am sending them in a package. I can’t believe how fast the time is flying by. 2 WEEKS WOW!!!! We are finding many new people to teach. We have a few baptisms set for some young men. I am so excited. I finished Jesus the Christ. Mom, that is a really good book. Thanks for all the prayers. They sure have helped a lot. This week has been a little cold and I got sick for a few days, but I am doing good now. Have a good week. Jani is working where? Thanks for everything that you do.
Elder Shelley
Yep things are going good. Elder Vitor really wants to marry Jani. I think it is funny. Well how has your day been? Mine has been okay. This morning our shower burned, so had to shower with cold water. Then I went to buy some CDs and jerseys for you guys. Then we can home and had lunch, I finished Jesus the Christ and then I slept and woke up kind of late. Now I am here. Nothing really cool. Well that is good that Juli survived 7th grade. Mom that is one thing that I miss is a good American Pizza.
Well Vitor is a funny kid. I really like him a lot. What is your plan for the week? Well the bishop just called and said that tomorrow there is a person wanting to take the lessons in another city so we are going to go. Other than that tomorrow, district meeting and finding new people to teach. Well boring and exciting for us too. Well sorry have to go. Have a good week. Tell Jani good luck.
Elder Shelley
Dad,
Well I am so excited but sad at the same time. I will really miss this "life" that I am in. There are some people that are really sad that I will be leaving. Well my comp asked if there was any way that I can return to the mission in less than 2 years because he wants to see me again. Dad we are doing a whole lot better. Do you know what my talk will be on? Well I am really going to work hard these next two weeks that I have left. Well have a good week and I will do the same. Thanks

Mom
It is crazy at how fast time is flying by. Well things are going a little better. I have just decided to not let things bug me because when I let things bug me we lose the spirit and it is hard to teach. Well no baptism this week all of them fell, but we have many possibles for this next week. We found some good people to teach this week. I got really trunky yesterday. For lunch we had a barbeque and there were many people it reminded me of the family parties we had on holidays. Yesterday was Father's Day here. Matt, I can’t wait to play basketball with you when I get home. I have sure missed that since we don’t do much for p-day. I have had a hard time finding cool things to send home for gifts. I am thinking about sending home jerseys of the different teams. Sorry there just is not many cool things. Well it will be very nice to be home and relax. These last few months have been really stressful for me. I am super excited to come home. Well it sounds like you are doing really good. I think the sweeper job is good for Jani, not stressful and easy good pay too. That's funny because I read my patriarchal blessing a just couple days ago. Mom I am really excited to see what happens and what callings I will receive and things I'll do in the future. Mom I love reading that blessing. I have really seen some blessings come true. Mom, have a good week. I am excited to see the downstairs when I come home. I love you.

2 Baptisms!!
Baptism of Gabriel and Bia!
Mom,
Well this week was a little rough with the comp. I am really trying my best. We had 2 baptisms Bia and Gabriel. It was the highlight of the week. Other than that, nothing really cool. My comp ticked me off today. I asked if we could email earlier but he complained about the sun and how hot it was. He wanted to stay in all day. I read in Jesus the Christ and then slept. I am towards the end of the book. At the part when they are crucifying Christ. I have like 157 pages left. I really like the book. It really helps me understand Christ a little better. Thanks I need all the prayers I can get. Well things are going, just have 4 weeks left with him. Sorry about no cool experiences.
On the baptism, the water was cold, but the cool thing was when Bia went under the water the water was warm. MOM I LOVE BAPTISMS!!!! It reminded me of Juli's baptism. We had an investigator that really loved church and watched the baptisms. It was really cool. We are going to try and baptize him Saturday. He absolutely loves the Book of Mormon. He has been reading like crazy. Well, mom have a good week. That is really funny about anesthesia, Jani and wisdom teeth. Well I am really excited to come home and see you guys again. Well have a good week. This week we will work on finding new people to teach and baptize. We have District meeting on Wednesday with all the Elders in Birigui (another city). And hopefully have many more baptisms this next week. I love you so much. Thanks for everything. This will get better.

Mom,
This week was really good as far as the work goes. This week was a little hard with my comp. He has different ideas on the work and it was hard. We argued a little, but things will go better. He told me that I was a man of little faith and that I did not love the people. That really hurt me because he does not even know me. I need your prayers I am trying my hardest to be kind and patient with him so we can have the spirit with us because as the scriptures say if you don’t have the spirit you can’t teach. He teaches in a weird way that I am not liking. He has a different mind set and tries to twist my words around to make everything thing I say bad or negative. I found out that he and his last comp fought quite a bit and that is why he got transferred. Well keep praying for us. We had a lot of new people to teach. No the family fell, they had something going this weekend so they weren’t baptized, but an investigator that we were working on for a long time yesterday said she wants to be baptized next Sunday and wants me to baptize her. I am so excited. I can see the many blessing of working hard, when you work hard the Lord really blesses you. We also have marked for some other people to get baptized this next Sunday: Geovanni, Carol, Bia, Vagner, Maisa, and Leiticia. Please pray for them that they can get baptized and keep their commitments. Thanks mom for everything. I know that everything will work out. I CAN DO HARD THINGS!!!! The work is really going here in Lins. Mom I will really miss the people but I will have a way to keep in contact with them. Thanks for everything. Can you send me a cookie recipe, I can’t find mine because some members wants me to make them. I love you and thanks for everything.
That is good to hear that Trek went well. Well I will keep Jani in my prayers. Have a good week. I love you and thanks for everything.
Um grande abraço de seu filho!!!
