Acai exists in the supermarket!

Hey, so first of congrats to Chad and Amelia for their calls. It´s nice to hear that good ól Parkway 2nd is still goin´ strong in the missionary department. Chad, can I have your Xbox 360 when I get home?

Lots of happenings this week. This week is the last week in the transfer because I guess that some Visas expire earlier, so some Americans have to go home just a wee bit sooner. Also, we managed to line up about 8 baptisms this last week…only to have none of them show up for church this week. Everyone was all excited and all...but unfortunately the investigators didn't wake up on time. We showed up at their houses, but no one was awake. It was quite disappointing, but we´ll try again next week with everybody.

Our two most likely prospects are two twin girls who I suspect just called a pass along card because two blond blue-eyed Americans gave them one, but have since become the most likely baptismal candidates. They both have baptisms marked for about two weeks in the future, and our only problems are getting one to stop drinking coffee (shouldn´t be too hard) and the other to stop with her boyfriend. (Law of Chastity problem. Might be a little harder…) What´s more, is that they each have two kids each, and are only 22. The good news is that they see why the commandments that we´re teaching them are good, as they´ve already experienced why we need the commandments, now we just need them to live it.

As for non-baptism news, I managed to discover that they sell that fruit that I wrote about a few weeks back. (Açaí). I´m pretty excited, because it´s way cheap here, so I´m gonna see what kind of breakfast I can make with it.

Well, that´s it for me this week. `till next time!

Again, sorry for the short letter, but I´m organizing the photos. Hope all is well with you guys, and thanks again!
