Família,
This week was a good one. We got in a ton of lessons, and Maria
P's family got baptized! It was really cool because we used a brand
new baptismal font! It ran so much smoother than the last one, and it
was super easy to baptize An. Poor little N: she's a girl about
Luxana's age, and she can't get baptized for another 2 months! She was
really sad. But I told her that the reason she couldn't get baptized was
because Jesus knew she was perfect enough and she didn't need baptism!
That helped here a lot. Then she started playing with my camera and took
a ton of pics. By the way, A tells me that he writes Weston on
facebook all the time. Every time he tells me, I check my watch for the
Idaho time: 1h00. hahaha That's Weston alright!
Happy Birthday to Luxana!
Actually, you got a birthday present from Rebecca! She wrote Luxana a
letter. I'll try and send it next week. Happy Birthday to mom too! I'll
see what I can get from the praça that you would like. I can't wait to
give you your come home hug present!
There's not a lot of new
things happening here. It's kind of just the same old routine. Elder
Pimentel and I are marking a lot of people for baptism though. We've got
7 dates right now, and we're trying to get some more by working with
unmarried couples. I think that Elder Pimentel and I are going to see a
lot of success here in Benfica. It's a nice area, but I think I'd like
to get one more area in me before I leave.
The week was a little
stressful, organizing the baptisms and preparing a training, but it went
well. Big numbers, big success. We went to the mall here on Saturday
and had some KFC and looked at all the new movies coming out. It looks
like I'm going to have a list when I come home! haha. Also, everyone in
the house loves all the new CDs, especially Elder Tingey, who's a big
country fan.
Well, I love you all so much. I think of you all often.
