Hey Family! This week went great. I´m getting pretty excited because it looks like we´re going to baptize an 18 year old named Washington next week. He visited the church yesterday, and loved it. He participated in all the classes, and has some friends in the church already. We had two other boys at church that want to be baptized too, but it will take a couple months for them to be ready. On saturday night I went to the hospital with Elder W Santos. During the day he was sweating a lot, and was light headed, so at lunch I took him home and made him drink a lot of water and lay down. We worked the rest of the day like normal, but then at 11:30 at night, he told me we had to go to the hospital. He wanted to go without telling anyone, but I told him that for us to leave so late at night, we had to call Sister Hall. We called her, and she authorized us to go to the hospital. He was still feeling really hot, and was feeling a lot of pain in his kidneys when he woke me up. We went by taxi to a hospital, and then they gave us a ride in an ambulance to another hospital that had a urologist. We thought he might have kidney stones, but with all the tests they took, they didn´t find anything. They just told him to drink more water, and take an anti inflamitory medicine. We got home at 3 in the morning, and then woke up at 7 to go to church. The whole thing made Sister Hall pretty worried, but everything is fine now. She´ll probably talk to us a lot tomorrow, because we have interviews with the president. I´m really doing well though. It´s been getting hotter here, which made my companion sick, but I haven´t had any problems, and on the contrary, I´m actually feeling a lot more energetic. We´re working a lot, and starting to have more success. We should be able to have a couple baptisms in the next couple weeks. I´m out of time now, but I love you guys a lot. Thanks for all your love and prayers and letters and stuff. I´ll talk to you more next Monday! Love, Elder Forsyth
