Famlee!
Hey everybody! How are
you all?? I am great. How was Halloween? Here halloween is kind of sad... There
were some kids dressed up, and a bunch trick or treating, but I don't think I
saw a single candy in any of their bags. We were in a poor neighborhood that
night, so I don't know if that's how it was everywhere else, but it seems that
Halloween is pretty small here. Carnival makes up for it though...
We had a really cool
week, with both ups and downs. Like I have said before, we have had a lot of
investigators with a lot of potential, but haven't gotten them going yet. Well,
we thought we were doing really well, until we even had 4 or 5 marked to be
baptized this week, but then only one of those people came to church =/ So now
all of the other investigators have to be remarked for another date.
The one who did came
to church was Engrácia. She is about 20 years old, from Cabo Verde. She never
would talk to us when we started visiting her inactive brother, but slowly she
started coming in for the prayer, listening to some of the lessons, until
finally we had a good sit down lesson with her and marked her to be baptized
this weekend. She is excited. We still need to teach her the commandments, but
if all goes well she should be baptized this weekend, on sunday after
church.
We have transfers
already the end of this week, and it might be crazy. I think either a lot will
happen in the district, or nothing will happen. Whatever happens however, the
next transfer is only a four week transfer because of complications with
flights during holiday times, and at the end of that 4 week transfer my entire
district will have gone home... I will be the only one left, that is if I stay
in the area after this week. We'll see what happens. Anyways, I hope I
stay.
Today I got cool news.
Elder Cook will be coming to portugal, and we will have a conference with him
midway through the month! I am really excited. it will be a good speedboost for
me as I get into my last 6 months.
Indira and family are
all well. It is possible that Giane and Tália will be baptized this weekend.
Still need to find a solution with the dad. We still havent met the other half
of the family either. Everything will work out though.
Well, I need to get
going, my time is up. Love you all!
Elder Lee
