*******************************************************
This week has been a good one. We managed to baptize 1 of our dates, the
other had to be cut. I'll tell you about the one we cut first.
His name is Felípe. He is (or was) the boyfriend of our recent convert,
Laíza. They were all on track for marrage, and everything more. Felípe was our
strongest date we had this week, and on tuesday night, we saw Laíza, and she
began to tell us how she was not happy with Felipe, and wanted to go back to
her ex-fiancé, Carlos. She told us that Felipe was "o leder da boca na penha." I
believe that means he was a drug lord; And, Laíza told us he has killed people.
So, sadly we had to cut him, totally. We then later saw Laíza on the back of
Carlos's motorcycle on friday night. So, there's that.

Our other date, Valdir, was a hand-full. Sunday, he told a member that he
wanted to get baptitzed. We went there on sunday, and challenged him to be
baptized. beleza. We went there on tuesday, had him unterviewed. Beleza. We then
had 2 days we went there trying to visit him, both marked. and no luck. The next
day, Elder Andreazza came to our area, we had lunch, and then stalked Valdir. We
managed to get him into a lesson. We tried literally everything. We called the
zone leaders, and had them talk to him, we called the assistants, and had them
talk to him. In the end, I don't know exactly what convinced him. But, he went to
take a shower, and when he started getting dressed, he said "I need to be
beautiful for my baptizim, what clothes should I use?" And so, we got him ready,
took him to the church, and he baptized the same day. And was then confirmed on
sunday.
