Nada! Nada! Nada!

This week was pretty good even though our numbers would say otherwise. Elder Lima was pretty sick with his allergies a few of the days so we had to return home for a bit and I would study as he napped. I feel like my Portuguese is getting pretty good, but I had a bit of a problem zoning out and not listening at times. But that's passed and I'm getting closer and closer to being fluente.
 

I also had the great opportunity to baptize Aysla Isabela Alves da Silva this Sunday. She is the 9 year old daughter of one of the part member families in the ward.  After I baptized Aysla, I said, "nada  nada nada" (swim swim swim), and she immediately ducked under the water and started paddling and kicking her feet - big splashes. Luckily Max hurry and shut the doors LOL. There was a giant birthday party thing that all of the kids in our area were invited to and the 3 other kids that were supposed to get baptized with Aysla chose the party over their salvation. It's all good 'cause I know I'll baptize them this next Sunday. At church, after the sacrament meeting, a guy named Lucas came up to us and was like, "hey I was gonna be baptized but fell away". Then he went on to ask me to baptize him and I was like "you bet". So we should have at least 4 more baptisms this week. All in all, a great week! Can't wait for the next!
