Dear Family!
This week was really cool! We felt the spirit really strong. We have been working in this one area that we have to take a bus to and its a little poorer, its government housing. But the people are so elect! We had 5 inv at church sunday! Finally! We set a date with this guy and two of his kids, he has 2 more but we didnt get to teach them, we are also teaching another family but the mom usualy works sunday, same with another fam, a guy and his wife, they have already talked to the missionaries before and went to church and they eally liked it but the guy is working sundays.. but the lord wil provide a way! we are also teaching a 17 yr old kid who is really cool, he lived in ireland for 7 years and can speak english pretty good. and...We had a baptism this week! My first baptism, but it almost didnt happen... We went to this familys house, the inactive ones with the girl with the one leg because we were preppping thier 9 yr old fo baptism, we went there like every day. andwe were there like an hour and a half before the baptism and they were excited and we told them bishop would píck them up but if he didnt for some reason, call us and take the onhibus...and we had everyone at the church and the font fillled and everything ready and they werent there, bishop called and said they werent at their house...they took the onhibus and didnt call us, and my comp had a feeling to go to the main terminal and look for them, so he went there with the ward mission lewader and i stayed with an rm. and when they got there he was looking and was about to leave and he had a feeling to ask if he could go in the onhibus terminal and they let him and there they were...just eating some churrasco....like they had all the time in the world! ha. i was frustrated, but they got them there, it was an hour late, but the baptism happened. it was a little rushed but it was cool. and we made a bomb cake for afterwards...it was sooo goood!
This week was crazy, we had some great lessons and things have really started going together and we are working like crazy. Some sad news tho..my comp is being transferred...he was only in his last area for one transfer as well...its weird, he was really cool, he has helped me a ton! His mom sent a christmas package and it had a present for "Elder Blakes comp"..he gave it to me, it is a sweet tie im wearing right now. He has helped me out sooooo much! The other two missionaries in our house are leaving too. So its just me staying in the area..its kinda overwhelming a bit, i only have one transfer and these new guys are gonna ask me where everything is...i still barely know the area and the ward! I really hope its not me and three brazillians...that would be great for the language, and thats about it..it would be really tough. We have transfers and our mission christmas conference this wedsneday. Im excited for it, it should be cool.
We had churrasco for lunch yeterday and we ate sooo much, he just kept making more and more meat..i felt so awful today.
