Week 90

My week was good. A few things are happening, so return of the bullet points:

• We are teaching a couple named Edinaldo and Denise and they are progressing and have a desire to learn. It's just that Denise said that she is a bit hard-hearted due to her past, but she still wants to learn and do something about it. So that is all we can ask for. So that is awesome.
• We taught  the sister of a member on Saturday. She came to church two weeks ago, but we were only able to teach there this week. Her brother's schedule is crazy apparently, but the lesson was awesome. The brother is named Alinho and he is returning to church and was struggling with support (his wife is a less active that is a bit of a rebel apparently), but now he has a greater desire due to the fact that his sister, Vanessa will be baptized the 2nd of June!!!!! It was an awesome experience and we are super happy and nervous because...
• transfers!!!!!! One of us will be transferred tomorrow. We should know soon, but either one of us could leave. So that is nerve racking.
• yesterday was stake conference and it was awesome because both President and Sister Hill spoke and President Perrot of the Seventy also spoke (who was also the past president of the Campinas Brazil mission). I learned a lot and I really felt the Spirit, Especially since Vanessa was there!!!

So a lot of excitement now. It is hard to believe that only three months ago, I came and reopened this area (it is a ward and the missionaries we transferred due to some problems with the rules). I am excited to see if I will go or if I will stay; either one, I am happy. This next transfer will be 5 weeks and it will be my last full transfer and it is also the last transfer of President Hill, so we will see what happens there. Either way, I am really excited to see what happens, and finally be able to shed some light on what will happen with me as my mission comes to a close. But don't worry; I am working as hard as ever so I don't regret the last moments of my mission.

It is good to see that everything is going well there. Keep it up with the yard and everything. 

Love you all soooooo much and hope the best for you all!!!!!!  I will tell you about the transfer next week!!

love you!!!!!

Sincerely,

Elder Jardine

Week 89

This week was a bit difficult. We are working hard and doing everything we can, but people don't always receive us. We have some new ideas, so we will do a few tests and see what works better. 

Amanda is progressing; she went to church this week and she loved it. Her boyfriend (a less active returning member) is also beginning to kind of pull her ear about a few things like reading and praying about the Book of Mormon. 

We also have interviews with my president. We had a priesthood lesson about pornography and what we can do to protect our families. I thought about Brigham's program and I really hope that it keep progressing.

I am super excited for Mother's Day. I can't say an hour when I'll call yet, but you can count on 5:30 -6:00 pm here, so around 2 there. I will send you and email before I call.

It is good to see things progressing there and that Lauren's surgery went well and that the yard is going better.

Well, I will call you on Mother's Day and yes, I remember my Skype password, so no worries there.

Have a fantastic week and see you guys on Sunday.

Sincerely,

Elder Jardine
