Subject: Happy Easter last Sunday!

Hello everybody!

This last Sunday, David and Raquel were confirmed members of the Church and received the gift of the Holy Ghost!

In one of Mom´s letters she told me that because I´m in a hilly area, I need to try walking backwards every once in a while to avoid shinsplints. The other day I took her advice walking backwards and ended up walking into a tree. Hmmmm.....

Not much is new here in Mauá. We have interviews with President again on Friday and transfers in two weeks.

Yesterday, we cut the grass in our yard. We asked the other missionaries in Mauá to help. It took 8 missionaries and one member over 3 hours, and we´re not quite done yet. The owner of the house let the grass grow as tall as me. He kept saying that he´d get someone to cut it, but he never did, so we ended up doing it.

Our bishop has officially gone inactive. He had to work a couple weeks and then last week he went on a trip with his family. Maybe we´ll have to go visit them and teach them the importance of going to church each week to take the sacrament and serve others. :)
