Weehoo!

Howdy there missionary fans! This week has been miraculous, and fun. We had stake conference on Sunday which was attended by 4 of our investigators and we followed it up with 10 new investigators by the end of the night. Our numbers for the last week were awesome, and the results were uplifting to say the least.

The exciting event coming up this week is the baptism of Joaquina, Rui and Miguel. Saturday promises to be a great day, and full as well. In the meantime we´re inviting everyone in the world to attend, and many people have said that they would, so it should be spectacular. Sister Schneiber and I have been working on making our communication even better and it´s working, we are able to teach together better and we feel more productive. We also found a great family from Moldovia that has a lot of promise. Elvira and Andrê are well versed in the Bible and are looking for the truth. It is so exciting to find people who have been so well prepared. We had 14 new investigators this last week and they are all of the highest caliber. It´s really exciting to be a missionary in times such as these. We are also trying really hard to use the members as well so that these people have friends and a support system in the church, because that is what the church is all about: A support system to help us all know more of Christ and to learn and grow and perfect and help one another.

Another thing in the future is transfers this next Thursday. SIster Schneiber and I are really hoping that we get to stay here. This area is really opening up and we are having fruits. We are also part of a bigger movement as the branch here is mobilized. Our ward missionary leader Vasco is amazing. He is really getting things organized so that this great program (Preach My Gospel) will work. It is really exciting to see things get organized because it means that the success we´re having won´t have to stop, but can continue to grow because of the help of the members. Like Pahoran and Moroni, when we work together much more gets done and it is longer lasting change and improvement. It is really exciting to be a part of it.

Now, for the thanks....Thanks so much Mom for the package and the Halloween card. I really appreciate your support and prayers. Thanks Martha for your response. It is exactly what I needed. Thanks to all of you for your love and support. My prayers are also with you all. Keep up the missionary work where you are and I´ll do my best here. All of my love..
