Note from Parents:
Growing up, Jonathan always enjoyed and
did well in English classes. However, he is now using only Portuguese on his
mission. Months ago he mentioned that he was having trouble communicating in
English and asked us to overlook and forgive any mistakes he may be making.
This we are doing. Nevertheless, we couldn’t help but chuckle when we read the
subject line of his February 2nd letter: “Let’s Meat Together”
instead of “Let’s Meet Together.” We know his English will improve when he
returns from his mission.

Let´s Meat Together
Dear People of Earth,
I love the Lord. I want to make
that very clear. I love God.
Now that that´s out of the way,
let´s talk about why. Story time: This entire last week we spent giving and
receiving trainings in the Mission. We finished with three hours to work
Saturday night. We did everything we could to help our best investigators assist
a baptismal service that happened. One of them came, but the baptism was
canceled. We had a lesson in the Sacramental Hall instead. It was very well
focused. It happened like this: "Hey, we have bad news: The baptism was
canceled." Boyfriend of the investigator, "That´s okay. We have news.
Hey love, tell them the good news." Investigator: "This next weekend
will be me and my son´s baptisms!" Talk about straight to the point!
It was incredible because we did nothing in our area. In
spite of that, the Lord blessed us with many miracles, for which I am very
grateful. Also, there were various experiences very spiritual.
Love,
Love,
Elder Engle
P.S. Attached are photos of where we had lunch this last
Saturday. It was a paradise. We got off the bus in the middle of nowhere. It´s
quiet there, which is something absolutely beautiful. Sweet, sweet silence.
