Mega Baptism

so, things couldn't be better... we had more baptisms than ever this week, and now mom just informed me that smallville be have a 10th season. i could very well be the happiest guy in the world (or at least this bottom half of it).

it was a week of miracles, literally. we only had like 2 full days of work in between the traveling and everything, and somehow we were blessed with the ability to manage our time to be able to teach everyone and prepare them for our mega baptismal service (see picture). with waking up and leaving early, sacrificing study and extra lunch time, and going from one appointment to the other faster than a speeding bullet, we did it. i still have no idea how. and since there is not enough time to talk about everyone baptized, i will list everyone´s name that was in this picture here:
-me
-elder küster
-cosme (damião´s twin bro)
-damião (cosme´s twin bro)
-natália
-yuri
-arleano
-*jadson (elect- will go on a mission in a year)
-jean
-hugo magno (member who baptized last week)

so yeah, it was quite a day, and the baptism took like 2 hours. but it was so awesome. these are all the fruits of those programs we have been doing that i talked about. like i said, creativity is the key. is there anything better than seeing everyone in white?

in other news, happy birthdays to auburn, russ, and ellie, and speaking of b-days, i finally received by birthday package this week (the awesome brazilian mail service brought it like a month late haha) and i loved everything in it. and now that i have these gift cards, i am gonna have to use one of them as soon as i get home and its looking like Fuddruckers will officially be the first place i will eat.

my last conference and council were both really good, but strange saying bye to everyone. a lot of mixed emotions are going through my head lately but everything is turning out well.

see you all in a couple weeks.

love Elder Sherwood
