Baptisms in the beginning

Solid! thats ligit! Well Bias Baptism went well, I was the one doing the baptism and so I was nervous, and it didnt help that they gave me the wrong prayer to memorize...They gave me the prayer in 3rd Nephi, but the actual prayer that we use today is in D&C 20 so that we great and they had to correct me five times, but I only dunked Bia once. Here mom and her Step Dad and her friend came and after the Baptism here friend wants to be baptised and so were going to teach her on Tuseday, and Bias step dad described how he felt as he watched bia get baptised and he flet the spirit really strongly and it completely over came it it was AWESOME!! Elder Bernards taught them and things are looking like they will get married and baptised along with Bias brother Jean which would be sweet, but her Brother Allen we dont think is interested and he didnt want Bia to get bapised either...was dificult it was, but theith family likes us and we really enjoy them, we were over every day last week to help Bia before she was baptised =) I was going to send pictures but these computers arent equimpt with a drive for the cameras memory card so maybe another day. So my companion goes home in two weeks and as such he talks about home quite a bit and it can be very distraction and I really missed having brothers around to wrestle with and a tank to slap and a sister to bug and and a father to argue with and bigger brothers to hit and joke with and a mother to cook all of my food! =P 'twas not the best of weeks for me. I love Elder Bernards and we have great times together, but Ill be excited once he goes home and stops talking about it! lol As far as Português goes I understand almost everything that I read without translating and I understand people a lot better too when they speak without translating and meny times this week I had conversations with brasilians without translating they spoke português and I responded like it was english 'twas nifty 'twas! I have also learned that when I don't have the spirit with me I undertand Português similarly to how I understand chinees. It makes a HUGE difference! But Plino asked me earier how my Português was comming and I said "so so" but from the other room my companion yelled "BETTER!" So I guess there is some improvement lol But it took me 4 months total before I could start understanding and responding in the Language...that is when they don't use slang or sur or only pronounce a part of the word. When people speak properly I understand everything, not every word, but what they're saying. And then there are people who speak and I don't even catch the word Elder =P lol It's all good, it's fun! =) So This morning Was FREEEZZZZING!!! We Woke up and it was SOOOO cold outside!!! our feet were numb and we could almost See our BREATH!! We thought we were going to DIE!! So seriously when I do get home Im going to cook you all out! I think that is everything for now! Até Mais Elder Lund
