"It's not working Elder!"... "Well did you turn it on?" (Week #57)

Hello All!
This last week was jammed packed with excitement! 
The First Sunday of the transfer, our Zone didnt have a single Baptism!
So Elder Mortensen and I came up with the plan to have a Zone study on Faith and then to have a Zone fast on Friday to help everyone get a little more focused on the work! And it worked! Our zone baptised 6 people last week and we already have 3 people to baptise this week! God is truly blessing us!
Yesterday Elder Mortensen and I had 2 baptisms, Rayssa and Ruan. These two kids who are incredibly smart! They are the brother and sister of a Recent convert, and the exciting part is that in a few weeks here their mom will be baptised too! She is a single mom so with her baptism we will be able to complete a family with Eternal Prospects! Nothing is better than that! 
Rayssa wanted me to baptise her, and she is hilarious! It was a really special experience!
Also last Pday we spent the ENTIRE day cleaning our house because it was soo dirty, but Tuesday it got way dirty again because our house turned into a war zone.   If any of you have ever wondered, how many Elders it takes to kill a mouse, the answer is 4. And even with that a lot of luck! After a hunt that was full of quite a lot of excitement, Elder Mortensen was able to corner the unwelcomed guest that wandered into the wrong house Last Tuesday night while the Elderes from Aracati were visiting for us to do splits with them. Never a dull moment on the Mish!
Another funny thing was when the Bishop called on Saturday to tell us the water wasnt working in the chapel for the baptismal font. But when we went to go resolve the problem, the first thing we did was the solution! Turns out somebody turned off the water switch outside of the font, and didnt think to turn it on....now that im writing it it doesnt seem that funny.....but it was just trust me! haha
Anyways thats it from Horizonte this week!
Until next monday Fam!
Love Elder Ferrell
