Hello Everybody!
Ok! Who created an email account with mom´s name and pretended like it was her writing me? I know it couldn´t possibly be mom. We don´t have the internet at home and the library doesn´t let you use white-out on their screens.
This last week was really good. Yesterday on my birthday we had a very spiritual lesson with Jersey and his "wife" Kelly. By the end of the lesson, they both had set a marriage date for the 14th of June and a baptism date for the 21st of June! (Elder Risenmay and I have to help each other with spelling in English while we write our emails. We finally had to look at "The Family: A Proclamation to the World" to agree on how to spell marriage.)
On Sunday we got to attend the dedication of the Curitiba, Brazil Temple. President Monson didn´t display the gift of tongues when he did the dedication because there was a translator and so it wasn´t necessary. But Elder Nelson has been working on his Portuguese. During the session that we watched he led the Hosana Shout in Portuguese without too bad of an accent. I wonder how he finds time in his schedule to study Portuguese. I often think that my schedule is too full to get in all the studying I want to.
Leila is all set for her baptism this Saturday! She is going to work all week, so we have to do the baptismal interview right before the service. I´m not too worried because she has a strong testimony. She´s already read over half the Book of Mormon.

Well, Goodbye for now!
