This week has been a little boring!!! I had to
stay in the house with Elder William for 5 days!!!!!! I kind of died a little
bit!!! It was super boring but then I went on divisions with the other elders
at night so that was okay ;) My companion is doing a whole lot better now! If I
had pneumonia I would tell you guys about 2 months after it happened. But yeah
the hospitals here suck. Like a lot! But us missionaries have like the bomb
insurance and plan! We always get attended really fast because it is like
really good! We have the executive plan! I know we are tooo cool!!! :P
I loved all the videos
and pictures!!! It looks like you guys had so much fun!!!! I am jealous that
everyone can do 360s and I can’t do any of that! I am going to come home and
look like a total fail when I get back on the wake board! But that’s okay I
will try my best :P
I just want to say thank
you mom for what you wrote. This week I started to feel kind of bad because I
am not really baptizing and I am promised that I will have success on the
mission and I was wondering if I was doing something wrong but your email
helped me feel a lot better!!! I know that baptisms don’t actually mean success
but still it is like the cherry on the cake if you baptize. But yeah thank you
mom for what you said. it was the answer to my prayers :)
It has been crazy with the cup of the
world!!!!!!!!!!!! I was soooooo mad when Portugal made that last minute goal against
us!!!!!!!!!! Holy crap I was not happy!!!!! We were watching with a member who
is in a wheel chair so he doesn’t really get to go to church much but we were
watching when the states made the first goal and we all like exploded and his
mom came to the room all mad and she was like I am trying to sleep :P it was
actually really funny :P I have become a soccer fan now :P I Don’t understand
it all but I am trying :)
I love you all and I hope
that everything is going good with you guys :)

Everything is going great here! I am having a
great time! President Fernandes let us watch the world cup!!!! It is pretty
awesome! We can only watch games of Brazil! But still it is super fun! I just
hope Brazil wins because is Germany wins I am dead ;P Just kidding! Um special
precautions??? About what? I am pretty safe here. I actually don’t think there
is a safer person in the city. The name of the town is Navegantes. We live on
the road francisico romão 133 Barrio São Pedro.
I keep trying to write in
Portuguese!!!! It is kind of frustrating!!!! I don’t actually want you guys to
have to translate everything ;P
Hahahaha winter.....I am
in a short sleeved shirt right now! But yeah I have everything I need....I
think. It was super fun this week we had our last conference with President!!!
I am actually going to miss him! He is super cool! I really hope that his new
president will be cool (in other words a bro)
I love you all! I love
all your different things that you email me about :) keep on sending them! :)
I think it is ironic that
dads new shirt has a anchor on it ;P

This week was really crazy! I was pretty
stressed out but I am all better now! I was stressed because the other elders
in our district had a baptism but the baptismal font wasn’t working!!! Well the
heater wasn’t working and the investigators said they wouldn’t get baptized in
water super cold...Not that I blame them! It was seriously ice water! But yeah
so I was running around like a chicken with its head cut off!!!! but in the end
it all went well and the family of four got baptized.
We have two investigators
who are reading the Book of Mormon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YAYAYAYAYAYAY I am super happy for that! I hope that they will continue reading!!!
Another is this week God
has answered my prayers. I asked him that I could be given more opportunities
to give blessings so that I could get better at it. I was able to give various
but the one that stuck with me is the one where the man didn’t actually ask. He
was telling me about his problems and I felt the impression to ask him if he
wanted a blessing...he told me that he was already thinking about it. I gave
him the blessing. In the blessing I told him that if he would read the
scriptures with his son his son would join the church. Truly I felt the spirit
guiding me and helping me say the right things to this man...the things that
God wanted to tell him. It was a very sweet experience because I was able to
tell him that God loves him and has never left him.
Ohhhh I gave my first
baptism interviews this week :P That was fun...not!!! I was super nervous and they
ended up being super long. It was interesting to teach all the 4 people and it
was a good experience in the end, especially when I saw them get baptized!
I love you all and I hope
that you guys are doing well! :) I know that Christ lives! He loves each and
every one of us! We are special to him and he has already done and will do even
more to help us come unto him. I love my Savior and I just want to let you know
that I love you all too!
In the name of Jesus
Christ amen.
Love, Elder Pachner
