Anyways, we baptized Breno on Saturday! WOO!! He chose me to baptize him, so Saturday night we had a few members gathered together in the chapel and he got baptized in the freeeezing water, though he said he couldn´t feel the cold anymore after he got baptized. Oh yeah. The kid is WAY cool, he´s 12 years old, and it was a mircale that we ever found him at all. A member family gave him his own set of scriprtures and scripture case, he´s an awesome kid. I was so happy that he finally got baptized. And it seems that his baptism was one of the last things I needed to do to complete my purpose in Ipiranga, to do what I needed to do there, cuz yesterday, after he got confirmed, I got a call from Pres. and he said I was transfered here to Uberlandia..... totally bummed to leave my area, I feel pretty much the same as when I left Anapolis the first time.. maybe worse. The busride wasn´t so bad, just 7 hours, but when I got here my head is hurting thinking about the new area, my spirit is tired worrying about my new companion and district, and my heart hurts cuz I left behind my recent-converts and friends back in Goiania that I love so much. There was no time to visit Nara, (recent convert) so I called her to say goodbye, as well as Jaynie ( less-active) and they both started crying. Freak, that doesn´t make it any easier on me.
But, good news: Elder Black ( the kid I trained ) is taking my place as zone leader, HOORAH! and Nara told me that her divorce finally went through, and she was wanting to throw a party with us to celebrate. Good for her :D also, President gave me permission to read *the miracle of Forgiveness* so I´ve begun to read... and I´m loving it. wooo.
During last week I did a three day division with Elder Van Zeben, I brought him to my area so I can teach him how to teach a little better and be a bit more loving... too bad I ain´t gonna be able to see the results of my work, haha. Pretty much there was a civil-war happening in our district between my companion, Elder Taylor, and everybody else, and I was trying to hold everybody together. Elder Taylor had no respect for them, and none of them liked him at all. Good luck to them, haha, and Elder Black. That´s a problem I´m not gonna miss.
I know I´m gonna have to head out and work (preferably get to know the members) soon, it´ll be the best thing to get me excited and forget about what I left behind. But wow, I really miss the people there. If this last area ends up being my *resting place* it´ll probably be the exact same thing all over again.... oh sheesh. Lord, give me strength.
Well that´s about it, way pumped for the baptism we had! woo!!! Thank you for writing. Love you dad, Mom. This week is kind of short cuz I don´t have that much time, and I´m a wreck of emotions and just want to lay down.
*the people cannot be ignorant and free*
Love, Elder Webber
