The baptisms were great. The only hitch was that we didn't get the font all the way full before we ran out of water, so they were baptized in about 30 inches of water. Not ideal, but they were able to be completely submerged.
This week we have been working a lot with L-----. She is S--------´s grandma, and she is the first person that we knew in the "Predinhos". She has been coming along slowly, and we are very happy for her progressing. The ward is excited, and the bishop will baptize her tonight.
L----- is excited to do temple and family history work. She expressed to us that she didn't have a great relationship with her mother up until right before she passed away. She felt that her mother changed her heart about their relationship and tried to make up for things before she died. L----- feels that doing her mother's temple work would be a great way to bind them closer together. What a great testimony and faith she has in the temple covenants and sealing power!
We are trying to find new people that we can teach, and we are getting to know new people each day. Elder H-------, the elder I'm training to take over as Executive Secretary, is doing great. He is already reminding me of things that I have forgotten. Someone will ask us to do something at the start of the day, and when we get to the end, he reminds me that we forgot to do it. So that is great. It's an awesome attribute that will help him succeed in the office.
I hope you all have a great week! Love you guys!
Love,
Elder Nielson
