Tyler and friends

Being The first sunday of the month. I was preparing to bare my testemony to our ward here in nonoai. The last week had been very spiritual and gratifying. And i felt that i needed to bare my testemony to let not only my testemony grow but also the testemony of others. As the bishop passed the time to the members, my heart started pounding really hard. But what happened next, was very unexpecting... Suddenly, all  of the young men of the ward got up to bare their testemony of the church. But even more suprising , all of the recent converts that i had the privilegde to help convert, got up and bore their testemonies as well. The words they said were from the heart, and i couldnt help smiling a huge smile all sacrament meeting long. What joy it gave me to know that all of those that the lord blessed me with, understood the gosple and why they were there. all bore their testemonies... One who was absolutly scared of talking in public even took me aside to help him bare his testemony. I did not get the opportunity to bare my testemony this last sunday but the lord blessed me with a wonderful happiness that i havent felt before. I know that the church is true, im not saying that i did anything in their conversion. But i feel so greatful that the lord trusted in me to be his instrument. This week was so sweet and i cant wait for this next week, because the lord is full of suprises and im anxious to see the next one. I love you all So Much . Take Care

the language is coming along really well. It is amazing how much i have progressed and how much more comfortable I feel responding to people now. Before i understood a lot of what people said but ddnt know how to respond. Now I am having really good conversations with just about any body.
A funny thing happened the other night. Sister hulse woke up and thought i was talking to her. She said she woke up and started to listen and she said that i was teaching a principle of the gospel and that i bore my testimony. But the funny thing is IT WAS ALL IN PORTUGUESE hahahahaha she understood everything and said it was one of the most amazing things she has ever heard hahaha. It was a fun experience. You know me and my sleep-talkng habits hahaha.I was reading an article n the september ensign about joseph smith in liberty jail by jeffrey r holland. it was very good. it helped me realize a lot and i thought about the tmes when situations werent ideal for our famly and how we created a place and situations where mom and dad could recieve direct precise clear and tender loving inspiration to direct our family.

gotta go. almost out of time. I love you all deeply. sorry only these emails today. got a lot to do to prepare for this week. love you tons!

Hey there everybody. I am afriad i dont have much time with this email. so i thought i would include this little email a picture of our babtisms this week. They are so neat, Juliana is the sister of Bruno (who i and elder piccin babtised) And the other is Rafeal. Rafeal was a real challenge because his parents didnt except it. But after we talked to them with Rafeal , they understood that it was a good thing. After The babtism , He came up to me and Elder Johnson thanking us for helping him get there. It was really neat. The lord is really Blessing Us. I love you So Much!
