  Terenos

Began with this little family

Lucas Brazil 
In the State of MT
 In Lucas, there is just a small Branch.  When we have attended there has maybe been 30-35 members that attend.  Since the Training that President has been doing with the Branch Leadership on having Ward Councils #'s have started climbing.  We attended the Branch last week!  Attendance was 115!  It is just amazing what is starting to happen here.  We can hardly contain ourselves!  
We just received word that the Church is looking for property to build a Church in Lucas.  The small Branch here is now a thriving, growing, and large Branch and the members are excited.

We visited Terenos and the Group had 34 in attendance to the Sacrament meeting.  It was a great day!

Campo Verde

This family moved to Campo Verde from Rondonia!  Strong member helping us grow the church there! 
2/2014 

First Baptism in Campo Verde was this Woman.  She is the Grandmother to the ym next to her who was the first baptism in Prima Vera when we Opened that city up to the Church and Missionaries over a year ago.  President and I had the opportunity of being present to the Baptism of this ym last year. 

Great things are happening here!

In 3 months later we attended the Group Meeting in Campo Verde
