OI
FAMILIA!!!
Man the weeks fly
by...
This week we did a
lot of hard working... which we have been learning is a lot more than just
running around talking to everyone. We spent a lot of time organizing and
planning. We divided the areas because now we only have 4 missionaries (I think
I am in the smallest zone in the world) basically we gave Elder Santos and Elder
Correia the best part of the city, where the members live and where all the
families me and Elder Abreu found, live. Elder Abreu and I will pound out
another 6 weeks finding families and creating the base for a future branch
where very little work has been done before. WOOO!!!!
Our focus is to
create the base for a future branch in our area, so we have been organizing our
area book and planning where we will work, where our centers of strength will
be and all that jazz. Haha
Funny story time,
last week Monday night we did a division, I went with Elder Santos to family
night in a less active part member family’s house, so before p-day was over we
baked a cake to take... well the cake finished and we had 5 min to get out the
door before 6pm (end of p-day). We don’t have hot pads... so I grabbed the
opened cardboard box of Book of Mormons ripped off the flaps grabbed a pan with
the cardboard flaps I managed to get the cake in the pot. we left (not to mention
we have to hike to the other side of the city for this family night. We start
walking and every person on the street is staring at us, Two Tall White Men
with a giant pot walking down the main street of the city. EVERY PERSON LOOKED
TO SEE WHAT WAS IN THE POT! Haha. Then about half way there we begin to feel
rain... ahhh fart! We get to the uphill part and the heavens open (not in the sense
of revelation but in the meaning that BUCKETS OF CATS AND DOGS START FALLING
FROM THE SKY, I’m not talking your normal Sunday shower...no this is your Brazilian
rain forest wet season downpour....luckily I had an umbrella (THANK YOU MOM) sadly
I was not thinking right... we covered the cake with the umbrella, and
continued walking... we get to the house and to free my hand to clap Elder Santos
takes the umbrella and raises it over our heads.... we just looked at each
other and laughed... why didn’t we do this earlier the umbrella could of protected
the cake AND us. haha oh well it was a great FHE and a funny night.
Well family I love you!!!
Keep the faith!
Love Elder Howe

photos of fruit here there are Mangos and Pique, I forget the other... haha
