Water Shortage....But Two Baptisms!

"Oi!

This week was a very good week. Our mission measures our results and assigns colors to them. Our zone had the goal to eliminate all RED results this week and our area did the best! We eliminated all RED and marked 4 baptisms! This week we have two baptisms. Quiterio (Wanderson's father) and Camilla ( little 8 year old girl whose parents aren't members, but who goes to church with her grandma). These baptisms will happen. These people are firm! The only thing I'm worried about this week is finding 14 new investigators. We didn't find any Monday or Tuesday, so pray that we can find at least 3 per day until Sunday.

We went without water for three days! The person who owns the garage underneath our house turned it off. The water people didn't know what was going on. They came and dug up the sidewalk searching for the problem until we were able to get inside the garage and found out. We took showers in the church across the street and didn't wash any clothes or dishes for those three days. Luckily it's back on!

Elder Santanna will finish qualifying today. He only has to memorize 14 more scripture references. He really started to be motivated this week now that the transfer is coming.
The transfer is next Tuesday, the 20th. I bet one of us will be transferred...most likely him, but you never know!

Yesterday, while Elder Santanna was qualifying, I did practices with our zone leader and we did a practice of a "faith Lesson" which, I think, is about one of the hardest things to do....or was one of the things which I least understood. But he said that mine was one of the best he'd ever seen. That made me really happy.

I love you all and am working hard and am happy."

Tachau,
Elder Christian
