This week has been fine. I received a couple of letters from siblings which made me super happy. I saw most of conference, except priesthood. I saw it in English and I loved it a lot; especially a couple of President Uchdorf's quotes. I´m sure a lot of you are wondering right now what this story has to do with airplanes... I laughed so hard. Before the talk I placed a bet with Elder Lima that he would say the word airplane in his talk, and that quote was the first time he said airplane and I cracked up. I also liked when he was talking about fundamentals, and lost his voice, and he said, "My voice is one of the fundamental things I must have!"
Transfers are over in 2 weeks. Today I´m making rootbeer and pancakes because we only have one p day left. I think my trainer and I will get split up next transfer, so this couple weeks will be my last with him. Either he´ll go or I will. Do you guys have a good pancake recipe? Even if you do I dont know if I would have the ingredients. I couldn't find baking soda or corn syrup. My pancakes will be flour, butter, milk, sugar, and whatever else I can throw in. Maybe bananas. Wish me luck. I hope they turn out. If they taste crappy I´ll just cover them in home made syrup and I´m pretty sure at least that will taste good.
I love you guys. I´m uploading some photos; from the statue last week and just random stuff. self explanatory I think. The spell check on this computer is in Portuguese, so it marks every word in English wrong. I hope my spelling isn´t that bad.
Not much else has happened this week. We were going to baptize Nildinho, but he didn´t come to conference. Next time he comes to church we can baptize him I think, but right now it doesn´t look like he will be very active. We have another investigator that looks promising though. His name is Rafael. He came to almost every session of conference. He knows a lot about the Bible, and wants to be a missionary, but we´ve only taught him the restoration, and he thinks he´s already been baptized. We have a lot to teach him, but he lives 40 minutes away walking, so every teaching appointment is usually a 3 hour commitment. We´ll see how things go. I want to have at least one solid convert this transfer. I feel like once I know the language I´ll convert everybody! I want so bad to be the best missionary, but I have to learn a lot of things first. I´ll try my best, and try to be an example of diligence and patience. Over the the past few weeks I´ve gained an increased testimony of the Book of Mormon. This book is true, and no one will ever disprove it. I think it's funny when people claim its false, because their claims are so ridiculous. If anyone reading this has any doubt about the Book of Mormon, I want them to ask me, or better yet ask God. The Book of Mormon is the most important book in this life, because if you know the Book of Mormon is true, then you know Joseph Smith was true, and that the true church of Christ was restored. And with that comes a testimony that Christ is our Savior, and that through him all is possible, even immortality and eternal life. I hope you all enjoyed my testimony this week. Continue to write. I love you. My time is up now, so until next week! Love, Elder Forsyth
