Elder Lindquist 1/14/09

Hello all,
This last week was good. We are working really hard with our Brazilian investigators to make sure they can get baptized on the marked date. Oh and this week we marked another for baptism in Feb. before Elder Rissi gets transferred. (At least we think he is; he's been here in Beja for decades.) Her mom is a member and her brother is too but her dad isn't so hopefully we can work on getting him baptized soon too. Even though the work is going good here in Beja it always feels like we can do more. It is hard not to compare the success of areas to areas or missions to missions because we've compared things our whole lives. That is probably what was hardest for me in the MTC was not comparing my speaking to other missionaries. But we're doing really well here. We have zone conference in a couple days and I'm excited to see my old colleagues from the MTC. I gave my first talk in sacrament meeting on Sunday about the restoration. I probably would have had to do it sooner but we had Christmas programs and other things going on. It went good though. I hope all of you are doing well and working on your New Year’s resolutions.
Love, Elder Lindquist
