Hello all, I can't believe it's already Feb. That's crazy. This last week has been pretty busy and the next two weeks, (last two weeks of this transfer) will be even more busy.. This last Saturday was Pedro's baptism. For some reason he changed his mind the day before and wanted me to baptize him so I did. Needless to say it was probably the most memorable baptism in the world. After I baptized him I went to give him a hug but what he did shocked me to a great degree, he let out a loud gypsy yelp, jumped up, and did a cannon ball. Water almost splashed all over all the people watching. Elder Rissi ran over and started to close the baptismal gate so no one could see him swimming around. I reached down and grabbed him by the collar of his vest and dragged him out of the baptismal font. When we got to the top of the stairs and I started to head into the bathroom when he jumped off the top stair and did another cannon ball. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I yelled at him to get in the bathroom and he stopped swimming around. We should have filled the font with cold water so he'd want to be in and out; it was pretty interesting. Who would have thought that my first baptism would be a gypsy? After the baptism I gave a talk on the Holy Ghost. On Sunday Pedro bore his testimony. He's reading the Book of Mormon and praying; it has been awesome to see the change in him the past two months I've been here. We have another baptism on the 14th so I'm excited for that. It won't stop raining here, and our space heater broke so it's pretty cold, but other than that all is well here. Thank you for your support and love, Fica bem.-Elder Lindquist
