"Well, today was another great day. We gave the 6th discussion and it went really well. this morning we went to the police office for 3 hrs. these kids asked to shine our shoes. I always let them shine my shoes because I have sympathy for them and I can talk to them and practice my Portuguese. Plus they only charge um real which is about 30 American cents. I talked to them about soccer and got other missionaries to let them polish their shoes. We shared Moroni 20:3-5 with them. I can't wait to get out in the field and serve the people. Then we got our mail and I had 4 letters!! 1 was from Yak and 3 were from home. Dad sent me all kinds of sports articles. DeSoto basketball is going to state. We beat Cedar Hill in the semi-finals which is our crosstown rival. The Mavs are still in 1st and the Cowboys just released Emmitt Smith. Then tonight after we had our 6th discussion we just talked for an hour. Everybody got a little teary eyed including myself. I cried like a little girl. It was a great spiritual experience."
