Elder Lindquist 3/1/10

Hey everyone Tudo bem? It sounds like every one is sick over there but I've been lucky enough to dodge the bugs going around, (knock on wood) but Elder Bezerra is sick right now. This week was interesting we had interviews and stuff. In the beginning of the week I went on a division in Setúbal, it was weird to do a division there because the last time I did one was a little over a year ago. It was quite the adventure it rained like crazy! (The storms that hit Madeira came after us as well) and it has been super windy so Elder Blair and I got soaking wet. it was pretty funny, we taught a Spaniard man that is an investigator of theirs and he was speaking the crazy Spain Spanish mixed with Portuguese it was a cool lesson. Our area is doing ok, we've been searching for the elects and things are going ok. We still haven't heard anything about transfers but we'll find out soon. In interviews president told us that we would stay together so I'm not packing my bags for at least another transfer:) I'm grateful for this time that I have to be a servant of the Lord and serve in his vineyard. This time really has been amazing for me and I know if we do the Lords will he will continue to bless us. Even though there have been a lot of disasters and tragedies in the world these are the signs of the second coming as described in Matt 24 but as we read towards the end of 1 Nephi the righteous have nothing to fear, we will be protected and the Lord will watch after us. I know that the Lord remembers all of his people no matter which country they're in, (Alma 26) well have a great week I love you all and hope that everything is going fine.

Here are a few pictures we had from our baptism last week. He is a stud. By the way I thought it appropriate to let you know mom and dad that I'm thinking about extending my mission. I talked to President in interviews and he said the max I could be a month. That would still give me time to prepare for school and everything. I've been thinking and I've prayed about it and I feel good about it. I'll still have to fast and stuff this next week but I just thought I'd let you know.
President also wanted me to thank you and send his love and appreciation for everything you have taught me and for helping me get to where I am today. I also thank you for that. -Love Jord
