So this week was sick! We're busting out some big accomplishments here in Caldas; we broke two of the pattern of excellence goals for the mission so we'll keep on working to fulfill the others. The baptism went really well, she was just happy to get baptized she was sick of waiting. It was a really peaceful atmosphere; the place where we went the water wasn't very deep so Christophe, (our Branch mission leader) and Joana had to walk around for a while to find a place 
deep enough. It was kind of like a lake thing that split off from the ocean called lagoa de óbidos. We are working with a couple other people to get them baptized as well. Going to the baptismal service really got them excited about baptism. In fact half the people at the service were investigators and then yesterday we had 9 investigators in church! This branch is small but it has a lot of potential. This last week we had interviews with President Torgan and this week is transfers. I don't want to get transferred I love this place, but we'll see what happens. Yesterday Teresa showed up at church to visit. She brought a bag full of treats, oh by the way I went to the mail place the other day and picked up the package it was just waiting there for me. Thanks for the package. The shoes are really nice. Well p-day last week was really fun but I was really sore from all the ping-pong, B-ball, and ultimate frisbee. Then that night we had a street meeting and we all sang for people then got their information after the hymn, it was sick. Today I think we're going to go bowling with one of our Brazilian investigators, (the one that almost burned my face off). Well have a great week I pray that all is well with you, thank you for the support.-Elder Lindquaisties (as pronounced by a few people this past week.)
p.s. I forgot to mention the other day we went to teach a reference that was given to his dad and us was a pastor. Well let’s just say that was a fun experience. After calmly listening to us explain the restoration to his son he started yelling a bunch of crazy nonsense that had nothing to do with anything. ugh I'm so dang sick of these crazy evangelical churches they are so distorted and all they want is your money. I'm glad I have the truth it's a very big blessing for sure. Oh and yesterday we were doing some finding when I hear drums coming from a third story window. My dream finally came true! We knocked on the door and a man answered I asked him if he was playing and he explained that his daughter was the one playing I asked if I could try and he invited us right in. I had a good 5-minute jam and they were really impressed, (even though I'm really really rusty). I know it was the Sabbath but I've been studying the Law of Moses and I found that it's just within the law to play if you get two new potential investigators. They were really cool he made us tea and we had a good visit with them. They said we could come back any day to talk about the church or to jam out. I just thought I'd share that because it made my day yesterday.
Love Elder Lindquist
