This
week was alright. walked a ton. ha. our numbers were super stinking
low. We tried working in the neighborhood of the church this week wich
is on the other side of our area and it is huuuuugggeee! and its a
little bit richer with a ton of apartments buildings. We tried to
contact a bunch of the people over there, but noone likes to be in their
house when we pass by...interesting huh? So we walked a lot this week.
Two days straight we literally just walked the whoooleee day haha. But
my legs feel fine! its crazy, they have adapted to walking a ton, its
natural for them to just move by themselves now.
Well
last pday we went to the park with the young men and i taught them
american football and we played for a bit. i was all time quarterback,
just to be safe. We took some pictures there. It was so weird wearing
normal clothes in public....i didnt like it, i was dying to get my
shirt and tie back on.
We
went out to pizza with that couple at this pizza place thats really
nice, they paid for us...i tried, but he said no, ha. It was so strange
for us to go from being rejected to having someone serve us pizza and
soda pop, and to do something that normal people do. it was very weird.
we had a couple baptism dates fall through but we
weill remark them this week. We are working with the mom of isaias
right now. And we are trying to find new people to teach, its always
nice to referesh the teaching pool.
Today we will
stay in the house all day, because they changed the rule and said that
its more dangerous after the game of brazil in the world cup, so we will
stay home all day, unless we recieve authorization to go to a family
night with that couple ina members home.
We
had a party at the church saturday, it was pretty cool! their was so
much food! during this month theirs alot of parties and stuff that only
happen here in brazil....i swear they are ALWAYS partying.
The
re-missionary in our ward that served in florianapolis is the young men
leader, and a while ago we had a meeting with him about how we could
increase the misisonary work in the ward and how the young men could
help. and last night the ward had a meeting and he talked about the
importance of missionary work and he had alot of members participate as
well, it was BOMB!!!! the ward is stoked to help with missionary work.
the second sunday of the month the young men and woman will help with
retention or rescuing less actives and the 3 sunday is missoinary work,
in the parks and knocking doors and stuff. This dude is freakin awesome.
ha. i broke his car door last week and he just laughed and wouldnt
accept my money. He speaks with so much power and spirit and knows how
to talk to people, he reminds me alot of dad, almost as cool as dad.
They are both powerful leaders. i wanna learn how to do what they do.
Its a little hard for me in portugeuse to speak so powerfully, but i am
trying. ha.
Well
i heard one of the elders from my district in the mtc, he is from
portland, he finally got here in brazil after serving in cali this whole
time. ha.
Well im so happy to hear about the fam...levi, you look jacked bro. i wouldnt wanna mess with you.
jake
and cake...you can either get fat and lazy or big and fast this
summer...use this time wisely! My advice- GET BIG AND FAST, OR DIE
TRYING!
I love you guys! have a great week/summer!
