Family and Friends!
This week went really well. We've been focusing more on reactivation this week because the general authorities left a training with the mission presidents of Brazil, and said the baptisms are high, but the retention is ridiculously low. We had the clerk print off a ward list, and we've been trying to contact people by neighborhood. We've already had one reactivation, contacted another inactive, and learned the whereabouts of two others this week. It's a start. We also were inviting people to church like crazy this week, and nobody was able to make it, but the Lord saw our efforts, and we had some super members bring their friends to church! We'll be contacting them this week.
The birthday was really good. After studies, we went upstairs to visit with the Bishop and his wife, and they had a surprise gathering there waiting for me with a cake in the form of a German flag (oh, yes they did). They gave me a really beautiful blue tie as a present, and it was a really nice morning. After that, it was a pretty normal day, work work work, but it was good. Thanks so much to all who sent me a birthday e-mail, it really made my day! Love you all so much, and I'll see you soon!
