Elder Lindquist 10/10

This was an email received today. Sound as though he is doing fairly well.

Hello everyone,

So this last week flew by SO FAST! The first week went by rediculously slow and it felt like every day was like a week long. But with this second week I can'tbelieve how fast it went. Conference was awesome. I think it was the first time I didn't fall asleep watching it, it was very uplifting and probably the most spiritual meeting I've been to in a long time. Even though I wasn't there you could still feel the spirit very strongly. Portuguese is coming along, we learn a bunch of grammar stuff that makes my brain want to explode but I'll eventually get it. The vocab/phrases are coming along pretty good though. Yesterday was teaching day at the TRC. We had to talk to fluent speakers in Portuguese for seven whole minutes! Elder Craig and I introduced each other and asked them about their family and told them about ours and bore our testimonies and asked if we could share a message with them and set up an appointment. At times it was sketchy but we were able to make it through the seven minutes. We then taught the first lesson for the last time. Next week is the second lesson. It went well and the spirit was strong when we bore our testimonies of the restoration. We also spent some time in the RC building, thats where we talk with people on thephone or chat with them on the computer if they have questions regarding our religion. It's fun and almost always interesting. People ask the funniest questions. Like, do you really dig people up and baptize them and why would God make a devil that temps people that have stronger sex drives than other people and so on and so forth. I also spoke with some cool black guys from TN about the Bible and the Book of Mormon and bore my testimony the best I could over thephone that the Book of Mormon was another testimony of Christ and it is scripture just like the Bible. I was able to work my magic and set up an appointment to have the missionaries come over and visit with him. Now if only Icould do that in Portuguese! Well I hope all is well with everyone. Tchau! a igreja de Jesus Cristo e verdadeiro!-Jordão
