Hey!!

So you won´t believe it! I got sunburned today!!! I didn´t even think that was possible now, but apparently it is...I´m on FIRE!!!! We went to Canao Quebrada today, it´s a beach, just to take some pictures and walk around the little shops they have there and holy cow! Me and my comp both are fried. And while we were there we had a little scare. We were walking up some stairs and it was after we had walked awhile and taken pictures and all...it was super duper hot too. We stop for a second to take another picture and my comp tells me and the member that was with us, Silvinha, that she was going to pass out. Me and Silvinha thought that she was just messin around and then she said, "no im serious" and i turn around and she´s swaying back and forth and looked completely out of it. So i run over to her as she´s going down and i catch her and lay her on the ground, trying to talk to her and then she comes out of it and starts saying, that was so weird! that was so weird! That´s the first time ive ever passed out! It was like i was dreaming." I was freaking scared, she stayed sitting down while silvinha ran to buy us some water. Whew! She was fine after that, but that really scared me!

Well, yesterday guess who was finally baptized?! Davi!!! He was so excited and it went so well. The young women sang a musical numer, his young mens leader gave a talk and it was so good! I am so happy for him. And we talked with his parents yesterday too and for awhile the dad was giving us a hard time about him and his wife getting married, but we´re going tomorrow to take all their documents and what not in to city hall! :)
That´s so cool about garrett! Im so excited for him! I can´t wait to see them play when i get home. I bet that makes garrett feel pretty good too with the coaches talking about him and all :) Way to go bro!!!

Haha alright so kind of funny experience. We were at our investigators house for the first time, we walk in and she wants to introduce us to her mom. We walk through the front room and guess who was there giving a lesson as well?? Jeovah Witnesses....yeah we taught them about the restoration......actually not really, but we should´ve. It was just sort of funny because we were in one room teaching a lesson, while the JW´s were in the room next to us teaching her dad. :)

Yes, I have heard about the earthquake and tsunami that happened in japan. Everyone has been talking about it here. That is so sad about everything that has happened.

I´m trying to think if anything else happened this week, I felt like there was something else. It´s not coming to me though. Oh YEAH!!!! I hit a YEAR this week on St. Patty´s Day!!!!! It was so cool. We made GREEN eggs, GREEN pancakes, and drank GREEN milk for breakfast. THen that night for dinner we made GREEN-crust pizza and drank GREEN juice!!!! It was so tight! We took lots of pics so I´ll be showing some to you :) And we of course wore GREEN that day! By the way mom, sister bowden has an AMAZING recipe for pizza crust!!!! Oh and we also made some snickerdoodles for the branch president and his family and they LOVED them!!!! They want the recipe so bad, the only thing is they don´t have cream of tarter here. I could give him some of mine, cuz i only use it for that recipe. Is there a substitute for it though??
Well, i better get going. I hope you all have a good week! And good to hear that everything is going well. How did mom´s appointment go by the way? Alright, good luck with everything! Love you all!

Love, Sister Salisbury
