Hello Family!

Hello!!!

I am pleased to announce that this week was much better than the last one! It passed super fast and I think that it is because we really worked super hard. We decided that we would really try to reach all of our goals and we worked so hard. We reached all of the ones that we can control (lessons, contacts, references, investigators etc...) We had eight people tell us that they would go to church, and guess what, none of them did. Haha, it stunk. We had reached all of our goals except the important ones (progressing investigators, sacrament meeting, etc...) We were pretty bummed. So we were walking around, contacting some peeps, you know the usual. We decided to go to one of our investigators that Elder Heleno and I started teaching in the beginning of Feb. So we went there and guess what... the first thing that she said was: "I want Stringer to baptize me." Haha so we are going to have a baptism this Saturday!(Hopefully) It was really neat and strengthened my testimony that with faith and works the Lord can do anything.

Hmmm, what else...

I don't really know, the week passed so quickly. Congrats to ol` Kayc on going through the Temple!! Very neato! The closest temple to us is in Porto Alegre so I wont go for a while ( unless the new president lets us). But I was thinking that if I have to wait a long time for my flight home I will go there.

So, I think that the easiest way to do Mothers Day would be if you guys could set up a Skype account for me and send me the info. I already have a computador ready! I don't know if it costs money to do skype, but I don't think so. Then I could get on and we could talk to each other and see each other too! We will work something out. Only 13 more days! Haha, it will be crazy! I only have a half hour just so you all know. I don't want to break the rules(too much). Heehee.

Oh, something else cool happened! An investigator that Elder Heleno and I taught got baptized! We were teaching him, but he left for Porto Alegre and he kept going to church and got baptized and I saw him yesterday and we talked and it was super cool! He's real cool and I was super happy! Yesterday was a good day!

We had district conference at church and it was a broadcast and Elder Scott spoke and he speaks Portuguese, it was pretty neat!

I love you guys a lot and hope that your week is sweet!

Love,

Elder Stringer
