April 13, 2011 (Elder Long's Last Weekly Letter)

hey everyone. how are you all doing? i hope you are doing great! i am doing good. this week went pretty well. we had a bunch of meetings and that made it hard to visit our investigators everyday. our baptisms fell through but they are pretty sure for this week. i think this week will be great. we are planning on 5 baptisms. we have had a bunch of miracles the last week. we are really being blessed. we had some young men and women take their friends to the church activity and we were able to teach them and mark their baptisms for this sunday. that should be nice. this area is a great area, but it is frustrating too. right now, jardim amanda is the stake house. so the whole stake leadership is here and they always tell me that we need to do something different. that makes me feel like i am not doing a good job. this week is going to be great though. we are going to have lots of baptisms in the zone so that will be great! i am excited. it should be an awesome week. i also went to the temple today. that was a great experience. i love the temple. i will have to go more often! i am going to try to do something fun for pday. so i will talk to you all later. love you all. you are the best!

love,
elder long

hey everyone. i am gonna be quick today so i can play soccer for my last time ha. everything is going well here. the work is going very well in our area. we are starting to see the miracles and plan to have 7 baptisms here the next couple sundays. this week has got to be a big one. hopefully we can visit everyone we need to. things are going well with carol's family. they will be baptized. there are some other people that went to conference that really liked it. speaking of conference, it went really well. the zone is doing great and the missionaries are working hard. there are only a couple problems in the zone right now and president blames it on the district leader but that actually isnt the problem at all. that is alright though we will do our best to figure it out. this week the zone will baptize a bunch. that will be great.
thanks for everything. you guys rock!
love,
elder long
