I saw that man...in the
yellow hat at the bus stop... and all I could think of was "WHERE IS
CURIOUS GEORGE?" haha
This week was so much
better. We got instructions at the leadership meeting that we need to be
teaching 20 families with 5 progressing to get 1 baptism per month... we went
to our area book and we had 9 families... so we went to work. We prayed and did
a few fasts and DID WORK haha. We found 7 new families this week; the Lord
blessed us so much.
We have begun changing our
vision a lot... normally missionaries like to teach in the ghetto because the
people there are more humble, but I got a training from Elder F Souza (biggest
boss of all time) he told me of his week and how he got 20 references to rich people’s
houses. He entered a house that had an OLYMPIC SIZED POOL!!! He said at the end
of the lesson the owner of the house invited him to play tennis and go for a
jog with him on a regular basis.... my jaw dropped. He gave me training on how
to do it. So we are now applying it... I’ll get you guy’s feedback next week. This
includes also having an appearance more dignified... like using suit coats and
all that jazz actually getting a real hair cut this sort of stuff.
I was realizing how little I
have recorded of my mission, so I am going to make a better effort to keep a record
and take more photos and have a more complete journal. I keep my journal up to
date I write in it every night but I think I could do a better job.
Elder Abreu is awesome! He
has such a "great brain" (anyone remember that book other than Mom?) He
will analyze stuff and sometimes we just sit and converse about meetings we
had, or lessons or how to help the Elders here always ends up with a conclusion
that will improve the situation.
We are currently working on
a map of the city... it’s going to be HUGE!!! We will take pictures, and put
pins in to mark the investigators, members, etc. I’m excited.
Erica you asked what I’m am
eating... I sent a picture of a typical (no sorry that pasta salad was the best
I have had here in Brazil) salad that we eat. My diet consists of this:
Breakfast- 2 eggs w/ cheese
and a nice cold glass of water or juice of some sort with a fruit orange (which
are green here in Brazil)
Lunch - IS AT THE MERCY OF
THE SISTERS IN THE WARD. Haha I literally have no control over what I eat for
lunch
Dinner a milkshake of some
sort I make it out of milk, bananas and nesquick.
That’s normally what I eat
OBVI there is variation in the day and all that good stuff. I LOVE YOU GUYS AND
MISS YOU HOPE YOU LIKE THE PHOTS!!
An Ant we found at a
members house
Larva we will eat on Tuesday
(we didn’t that night because we were fasting)
A dessert (probs the best
one yet it was like strawberry pudding but it tasted just like strawberry’s
with powdered sugar IT WAS SOO GOOD!!!
