First week in the Field- Sent July 4

Ola family!!! How are you??? I've read your emails and you all sound like you are doing good. Keep up the good news.
Hmm...I'm not going to lie, the first few days all I wanted to do was cry, and go home. But now all I want to do is stay and work! I love the people here. I cannot understand a thing anybody says, but the people are patient with me and they work with me. We have one family that is investigating, well actually just the parents. They are not married, and my first day we went to see them they said they didn't know why they would get married. But we taught them the 3rd lesson, and stressed the importance of keeping the commandments. At the end of the lesson they said they would consider it. Not exactly they yes we wanted, but there is more of a desire there. The mom, Lu, actually came to church with us yesterday, but the dad, Zildo, said he had other commitments.
Across the street from them lives a little boy, Juan, but pronounced hu-ah-n. He is 11, and such a doll. The first time I saw him, he just sat on his doorstep and looked at us with his big brown eyes and watched us. A day later we went by his house, and he was just sitting there again eating a grapefruit. We taught him, and his older brother, Ramon, the first lesson. His eyes were huge with interest the whole time. We gave him a Livro De Mormon and a pamphlet. The next day, Saturday, we went by his house to see if they read. His mom was in the "living room" with some friends getting drunk. We talked to Juan on the door step and he was eager to learn. Dad, I know you said to baptize families, but his mom has no interest whatsoever, and he wants to be baptized. We'll see what happens. Juan came to church with us on Sunday, and loved every minute of it. I can't explain how much he loves learning about the gospel.
The people here are super nice. Like I said, they are patient with me. In church every single member came up to me and taught me a new word in portuguese, and when I say something wrong they politely correct me. Lu and Zildo just smile when I make a mistake, and then later make jokes about it. It is amazing how much you start to love someone in such a short amount of time. Juan just listens to me make mistakes, and because he is in tune with the spirit he understands everything. That is one thing I have learned. I don't know any portuguese, but the Holy Ghost takes my message to the people. If they are in tune with the spirit, then I can say anything and they understand.
Now time for my trainer...drum roll...yep she is Brazilian! Haha, I love her, she is so cute. Her name is Sister Moraes, and she is from Santa Catarina (don't know how that is spelled). She speaks enough english to help me, but other than that she speaks only portuguese. She also has two and a half months left of the mission, so it is likely we'll stay companions till she leaves. Why is that you ask? Because we are opening an area for sisters. There were elders in our area before, but now they want sisters there because sisters are the best, and they are baptizing like crazy there. It is called Mussurunga (again spelling is horrible). Where Lu, Zildo, and Juan lived is nicknamed the Honey Hole. In one month there were 10 people baptized on that road. The whole place is pretty much a Honey Hole. We'll be walking down a street when all of a sudden my comp will stop and knock on a fence and do a contact. Afterwards she'll say, "I like that house!"
Well time is up and I have to go. I love you all, and I hope you are all safe and sound. Yes I can email friends, and family.
Love you!!!!
