"Hey Bro" -Iago

Well hey there folks,

Another week here in Big Wonderful HOT Teresina, Brasil.

While the heat was high and the sun bright, the miracles that we were able to see this week were even brighter.

For starters, we had the incredible opportunity to help four friends of ours enter the waters of baptism!

Do you guys remember Iago from last week? Well he got to do something pretty darn cool this week; yesterday, after the sacrament meeting in the church, he was able to baptize his triplet siblings! The meeting was super spiritual, there were a bunch of people there to participate and show their support, and everybody was just happy.

Before the sacrament meeting, we were able to help a new friend of ours - Lucas - be baptized as well. He had visited the church the week before and had been participating in seminary during the week. We asked him if that´s something he´d like to do, and he was all for it! We´re hoping he can do something similar and help his siblings be baptized this next week!

Today for P-Day I make an executive District Leader decision and invited everybody to a rodizio that they have here in the city. We rode on a crazy, rattling, start and stop Brazillian bus to get there, but it was so so worth it. It was also very worth the price at about sixty reais or twelve U.S. dollars for as much incredible meat as we could eat!

Nothing too crazy to report from this week, and to be perfectly honest I´m a bit too tired to write a longer email, but I promise I´ll send some pictures out afterward!

Love you all so much and I´ll try to get some emails sent out to you individually!

If you get a chance, let me know how you´re doing! I know I´m terrible about responding but promise I read 100% of the emails you send out!

We might have transfers this next week, so there might be some exciting news to come!

Love yall!
Élder Lindsay

Olá pessoal, ***Here's the real one*** What a quick, exciting, week! Like always, I will start off with the highlight. Only this week it was highlights with an "s"! We had another baptism! Rachael! She was baptized just last night and confirmed with the gift of the Holy Ghost. She has such a sweet testimony and has a way of praying that is so humble and personal. I was so very excited for her! Another highlight: General Conference! What an incredible opportunity we have every 6 months to listen to the words of the Lord's prophet, apostles, and other leaders of His Restored Church about topics that are so different yet all focused on Him. The world of commotion we live in will not become any less noisy any time soon. However, if we focus our lives on Jesus Christ and utilize His Atonement which he has already endured for us,  we will have His rock, His strength, as our foundation: a foundation that CANNOT fail. I am so humbled, excited, and awestricken that Cody is goi...

Good morning everybody, Well, I'm going to have to start off this email in the most cliché way possible; I cannot believe, at all, that I am writing my last ever mission e-mail. The time truly has gone by so quickly. But in the spirit of all of my previous emails that I have written, I guess I must start off with this week's highlights. Brace yourselves... there are a lot of them: First of all, like always, I have to talk about baptism. Suellyn was baptized yesterday and is the newest member of the Church and its Relief Society here in the city. Her brother and sister, Ítalo and Magdalena, were baptized last week, and the Spirit ended up showing her that what we had been sharing was true. She rarely stayed in the room while we taught, but she heard everything. We invited her to say a prayer. She did it, and she got an answer. As the Lord had done His part, she went ahead and did hers. We taught her during the week and she was baptized after our "Group Conference." Spe...

OHHH... We're Half Way There!

Olá Irmãos e Irmãs, You might have already guessed since I went ahead and put it in the subject, but I have officially passed the halfway mark for my time in at-home MTC!  **There are a couple of things I feel I should address before I continue: 1) No, I was not breaking mission rules and listening to Bon Jovi before writing this email (the song's title is "Livin' on a  Prayer ," so I think we'd be good anyway) and 2) I'm not by any means saying I'm ready to be done with my MTC experience because it has been great and I've been able to meet some incredible people. I'm just saying I'm excited to get into the field and serve!** Not only that, but my official travel itinerary was sent to me during the week! I, officially, will be flying from Cody-Denver-Salt Lake City September 7th to begin my temporary assignment in Orem! "Why not take the direct flight from Cody to Salt Lake?," you may ask. I guarantee you it's because Heavenly Fat...
