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...

Hello all! The time is short here in Brasil and I intend on going 100% until the end (though I do understand now why the mission is two years; I'm not sure if physically I would be able to do more). We baptized Ítalo and his sister Magdalena yesterday and will hopefully be helping there sister Suellen also take this important step next week! No crazy trips this week, so we decided to take our entire P-Day to deep clean both our house and the Church downstairs in preparation for President and Sister Lindsey's visit next week.  We have an Arraial (a tradicional Brazillian party thrown in June or July) scheduled for next Tuesday and a "Group Conference this next Sunday. There will be some very important people there, so we are hoping, praying, and working to have over 100 people present. That would truly be something miraculous for my last Sunday in the mission. Pray for Suellen, please! Pray for the branch! Until next week, Élder Lindsay
