And it came to pass...

And it came to pass that in the 4 week of the reign of Elder Cluff over the people of Brazil, that he had his second baptism!! woot woot!
so the first picture is something funny, im serving in a desert, thats what the area is, but there is this creek going through the middle with soooo much green!! on the right on the picture is what the are looks like, a desert, but the left, looks like a jungle!! i thought it was a funny contrast. you cant get in any of the water here, they have bugs that will swim up your... ya.. so im not getting in the water. lots of nasty things in the water here
the next picture, and the last, (im not sure why they are in the order they are in) is of a baptisim we had last week. the mom is a member of the church but no longer attends, well, not very often, and she had an 8 yr. old son who was not baptised. so we started teaching the family and got them to start attending church again, and then we got to baptise the oldest son. after we baptised him we found out that, for the mission they cant count it, because he is eight years old, the age you are supposed to get baptised. but its ok, numbers are just numbers, we are here to bring people to Christ through baptism, so if they are 8 or over they need to be baptised. you get it. 
the second to last picture is of the 3 other elders in my apartment, the one in front is my companion, the one in the middle is a Brazilian who goes home in two weeks and who is very (trunky) and the one in back is his companion, a elder who talks non stop about video games haha i took the picture on a bridge in our area, i thought it looked cool.
well i have to get off like right now, so i dont have much time to write.
my comp. and i worked really hard this week and found a new group of people to teach, we had the baptism and 3 investigators at church. it was really cool. so it was my second baptism. also the 19 yr. old who we are encouraging to go on a mission went back to church this week and had a really good time. also, i fogot to tell this to weston, a 19 yr. old in the ward here got his mission call this Sunday, to a state in the south of Brazil. the cool thing is he reports to the MTC in Brazil the day after Weston!! so cool! he and i are really good friends, so he will get to know Weston and me. so cool.
well i have to go, we are working hard and getting more blisters. i hope everyone is doing good back in the states.
Com Amo
Elder Cluff
