Hello to everyone all around the world!
This past week was one full of improvement and learning and was full of adventures here in my area of Agua Verde.
Me and my friend and Companion, Elder Nydegger, had the opportunity to go help some of the new Americans coming in get registered here in Brazil, but its the first time that either of us had ever done it so we didnt know exactly what we would need or anything, so we just took the Americans and went to the Federal Building hoping for the best. Well, Murphy's Law, when we got there they told us a lot of other things that we needed so Elder Nydegger and I laughed knowing we would have to come back, and Elder Nydegger told all the Americans that are still learning Portuguese that "Dont worry everythig went perfect" which i dont know why it was so funny but the Americans just had a blast. I loved Elder Nydeggers attitude about it all though. We can all take that attitude a little bit into our lives that even when things done go exactly how we want them too, to just shake it off and to know that as my Mom said in an email to me this week: "The Best is yet to come."
And its exactly that. For each and everyone of us, here on earth we dont fully understand sometimes that the best IS yet to come! that we have such a bright future ahead of us as long as we give it our best and apply the Gospel of Jesus Christ in our lives. So thats my small thought for this week wiht my testimony that for all of us, no matter who we are, or where we are, the best is yet to come. I have a testimony that thanks to the Gospel of Jesus Christ that the best is always yet to come.
I hope you all have a great week! Here's some photos of some of the adventures of me and Elder Nydegger here in the office!

Hello to all of my Family and Friends!
These last few weeks have been absolutely busy! Im still here in Fazenda Rio Grande and have had many opportunities of service and learning. Its been quite a while since i have written a group email and just want everyone to know im still here and im still alive! Life is good as we are having many expereinces that are helping us to forward this great work in the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Im still blessed with the opportunity to be with Elder Viera Silva and helping to train him here! He had his first babtism in the mission this past week as we babtized our 10 year old friend, Gabriel. It was a great experiece for the two of us. Other expereinces that we've had include:
We had a big rain flood here around the new year and we helped a few people that had their homes flooded out.
We saw a monkey here in Brazil which might sound kinda lame but it was actually pretty neat.
And we're conintuing to invite all to come unto Christ and keep obedient!
Just want to send some photos and to stay in touch! I love you all!
-Elder Matthew Arscott
