Hey all how's it going? Sounds like summer is flying by for you just like the time is flying by for me. Thanks for the package it was awesome; I also received a birthday package from Elder Wheelers family this morning that had some goodies as well. So transfers. Elder Wheeler and I are staying together; we're the only ones in the entire zone that didn't get separated. I felt like I needed to stay one more so I'm happy that I'm still here I love this area. Transfers were insane though like six areas were whitewashed, (both elders taken out at the same time) and tons of crazy changes that no one expected but some cool people are coming to our zone including my home boy elder Nair from the MTC and Elder Coombs is coming to be my new zone leader, oh the great times I had with him down in Beja and Evora. So I'm excited about that. So our branch got back last week from their trip to the temple in Madrid, Spain. Our stake took three tour buses there and 100 adults went and 60 youth so that was cool, soon enough Portugal will have a temple here and the members won't have to travel 8 hours to get there. Wow how I took for the granted a temple 20 minutes from my house. So things are going good with our investigators. But a lot of people are gone for summer break so it's a little bit harder to find appointments and get people to church. But a young couple moved in from Braga, Portugal to our branch and they live about 10 minutes away so we're really excited to have some people that are willing and ready to help us teach! The other day Elder Wheeler and I were cleaning the chapel and we missed the last bus back to Torres Vedras so we caught a bus to stay overnight with the Elders in Mofra, (we weren't going to sleep on the chapel floor again). We decided to play a trick on the elders so I wrote a letter, (supposedly from their landlord) saying that I have to sell the apartment due to financial problems and that they have to move out by the end of this weekend and we dropped it in their mailbox and went and made contacts until it was time to go in. So we got to their house and they were all stressing out and was hilarious. We didn't tell them till the next morning when we left. Well I really love the mission and my companion. I'm learning a lot, missions are not just about working hard but reaching your full potential. We have to strive every day to fulfill our full potential that our heavenly father has in store for us. Have a great week.-Elder Lindquist
