Woohoo! Investigators came to church this week!

After 3 hard weeks of making contacts, and knocking doors without results, we saw a miracle happen this Sunday. Ten investigators came to church. We had an awesome family there, and they brought their friends and extended family, and other members brought their friends. It was great. About 20 percent of ward was visiting for the first time. Out of this group, there were a lot of people who are possible baptisms for the month, and a super family that we want to help get married, and baptised. I´ll try to keep you guys informed with how everything goes.

We had transfers this week. :P Elder Bueno was one of my favorite comps, but he got transferred to Joao Pessoa, in Geisel were I was last year. I feel bad that he got transferred right when we were on the up swing. Some investigators will cry when they find out that he´s gone now.

My new companion is Elder Ortega. He´s been on the mission for about 6 months now. He´s from Washington, and speaks English and Spanish. I´m excited to learn Spanish from him. I can understand 80% of Spanish already, but I´d like to learn to speak and write a little better. He´s super excited to be here, and we´ll have a great transfer together.

I´ll talk to you guys again on Monday. I can´t think of anything else that happened this week. We found some drunk guys in the street during carnival. We tried to help one, and another one tried to rob us with his fingers pointed like a gun. First he told us to give him our backpack and take off our clothes, and then he gave us a hug and said he was kidding. You've gotta love the drunks.

Have a great week you guys. I´ll try to send more photos when I can :)

Love, Elder Forsyth. The Church is true!
