Have to find humor on the mission.

Feb. 20th 2012
 Well my health is good! (Except the fact that I ripped off my big toe nail) But hey things are great! Jiu Jitsu today was very fun and after we played basketball at the church on the cement and I showed no mercy. Elder J S---- and I are starting to baptize the people that Elder Loveless and I were teaching and so it is going very good! Now I can understand everything but still have a few problems with some words. I pray every day for improvement. I cant wait till I get back! I´m going to go to each house in our ward with Adam and we will try to help them come to church.
wanna be home teaching companions
 I dont really have that much to talk about. Oh!, interesting experience this week  We were teaching this lady about the gospel and she seemed to be taking everything really well so we asked her to say the closing prayer and she started saying the prayer baptist style and then her voice got louder and louder and then she raised her hands and started yelling mumbo jumbo which we later learned she thought it was the gift of tongues.  It was very awkward. But one of those things that makes a good story. :)  Good news though she still is progressing in the gospel, we had to tell her in a nice way that her ´´inspirations´´ are not of the Lord but it worked out well.

 Oh the lady next to me is named M---- de L------ and I baptized her. . . . . eight times. She gets nervous easily and she kept letting body parts fly out of the water, the eighth time I kind of just looked up at our first counselor and after the prayer pushed  her down into the water a bit further :/ but it worked and now she has entered the gate and is going to continue on the path!. :)  Well I love you all so much and have to JET! Temos fichas batismais a gente tem que mandar! Falou!!!!  Elder Joseph Vincen
