Dear Family and Friends!

We had a very interesting week!! It started out with an overflowing kitchen sink, causing a huge flood in our apartment which we spent a couple of hours cleaning up! I got a good video of Sister Landbeck freaking out! It was hilarious!! Welcome to Setúbal! Haha but we did see a lot of good things happen as well :)

Joel: Joel was baptized yesterday which was awesome!! We ended up having the baptism later at night because he had somewhere he needed to be in the afternoon, but he was still baptized and it was incredible! He is awesome! It's really amazing to be here to be able to teach people like Joel. He will be a great member.

Ivo and family: They are doing great! They have a meeting this week with the bishop to plan for the wedding so they can get baptized! Ivo also received a blessing yesterday to help him quit smoking. They are doing really well!

Rafael: He's the brother of a recent convert and he's only 8 years old, so it's a little different teaching him but he is so excited to get baptized! We're planning his baptism for the week and we're hoping we can baptize his sister this week as well, Margarita.

Marlene: We started teaching her this week, she was taught 2 or 3 transfers ago and actually had a baptismal date, but then she disappeared. So we are teaching her again, she doens't remember a whole lot, so we're starting from the Restoration with her. She is awesome! She said that she wants to be baptized, so we'll talk about a date this week. I'm excited to continue working with her, she is wonderful!

That's about it for this week! We had a grand adventure with our plumbing problems in our apartment, but it's still great! I'm having so much fun with Sister Landbeck here in Setúbal! We're going to have a great transfer! I love being a missionary here and I love Portugal!

I love you all!
