Oi Familia!
The conference was a great experience. This chapel here in Santa Rosa doesn´t have a satelite so the new thing they were trying to do was the internet. Their connection isn´t very good so we missed some parts but it was just a little bit. They only had portuguese so I watched it in portuguese. Because of this I really liked Richard G Scotts talk. He served as a mission president in Chile so he knows spanish and a little bit of portuguese so he translated his own talk. I liked his translation.
Our mission is the lowest baptising mission in brasil. This is mostly due to the strong european influence in this area. But the problem is that there are much less baptisms in the year of 2011 than 2010 (comparing our same mission). Obedience isn´t that big of a problem in our mission either; so the leaders are confused. Elder Holland is going to try to help President fix some things.
We cut most of the investigators in our teaching group because nobody was going to church. We are going to have a baptism this Saturday which will be awesome. Rafeal will be baptised. He is a great example of someone that has changed. He told me that he wants to serve a mission too (he´s 18)! He reads the book of mormon like 5 times a day. He´s awesome.
Thanks for your prayers!
Com amor,
Elder Rollins
