Hello everyone! It's good to hear from you. This last week has been busy but it's been fun. I had to go to Lisbon two times in one week to renew my visa and we stayed with our zone leaders and had a zone meeting/interviews with president so we haven't been in our area a lot this last week. After interviews Elder Hansen went to stay in Evora and I traveled alone from Setúbal to Oriente to spend the night with Elder Craig my MTC companion. It was a long string of bus/train rides but I arrived safely and we had a great time. The next day we met up with everyone else from our district except for Elder Bennet because he's already out on the Azores. But the first night I had to go there to renew my visa he was there and we spent the night in the office. That was really fun too. It's interesting to see everyone's progress with the language, I feel extremely blessed to be able to speak the way I do. I love this language. I still have a lot of progress to make but I feel very comfortable with the way I'm speaking now. This morning Elder Hansen and I went to the castle here in Beja (it was my second time there) here are some pictures from that and a couple others from the past couple weeks, (they should tie ya'll over until my picture card reaches you..) so I'll probably send a small package there within the next few days because I just filled the questionnaire out. Thanks for the package, it was awesome. Today I think we're going to bring Pedro to lunch then I'm giving him a haircut so I'm excited about that. Recently we've been going on the outskirts of town to find new people to teach. We found this small neighborhood on the other side of the train tracks that has some promising people there. We have a couple of lessons set up for tonight and throughout the rest of the week so I'm excited to see what comes of that. I have a feeling I'm getting transferred. Missionaries usually don't stay in their first area too long and I've been here almost four months but we'll see what happens. So Pedro turns twelve this Saturday and I think I might be giving him the priesthood on Sunday so that would be really cool to give my baptism the priesthood. Also we told Paula Cristina that Elder Rissi went back out to the Azores (his birth area) and so she always talks about how much she misses him. Little does she know he's my zone leader in Setúbal and he's coming here to do divisions with us this Monday. We are going to surprise her; I'm really excited to see what her reaction is going to be. But she has bad health so I hope she doesn't have a heart attack. Well I'm going to go; I hope all is well with you guys. Se cuida e bem haja!-Elder Lindquist
