Well, I surviverd my first full week in Brazil and
some really cool stuff happened! But before I get to that, Carson!!!
Congratulations for getting the crystal apple! Thats legit! I got that
too you know... haha! And thats so cool that Connor got a drivers
license... dont die. And mom, I am good with stuff that I have here, I
dont need much. I only have one jacket, the black one that I have been
wearing, the grey one is a member of the wards jacket that he let me
borrow until I bought my own!
Anyways, about my week, it has been really good! I have
gotten to the point where I can understand almost everythring when
people talk about gospel topics! My accent is still terrible, and
everybody knows that I am a gringo, but Im learning! At the begginning
of this traqnsfer me and Elder Menezes actually oipened up this area
that Im in and so we do alot of street contacting and everybody
sayssssss their interested, and then we look for their adress and it
doesnt exist... haha so we do alot of walking!
Another thing that happened this week is we were
running to catch the bus and I totally tripped and fell in front of a
ton of people, and the side of my pants ripped so, that was exciting!
Haha, but one realllllly awesome thing that happened this week. We
were going to visit a woman named Veronica and her daughter and we
started teaching and she kept looking at my saying words that I didnt
understand at all. Well, we taught the lesson, and when we got out of
the lesson Elder Menezes explanied to me that she was saying that she
recognized me from somewhere. She didnt know where but she had seen me
before. Crazy stuff right?! She remembers me from somewhere but I have
only been here a few days and never had seen her! I know Brazil is
defniately the place I need to be! She wasnt crazy at all either!
Completely sane! THEN! The next day we were teaching a super sweet older
lady named Geni and as we were leaving (I could understand this time)
she said, she recognized me and Elder Menezes as servants of Christ when
she saw us! Very cool experience!
We also are building a house! Yes, 4 missionaries are
trying to build a house... asnd it is actually going really well. The
bishop and first counselor help with the plumbing, but the rest is
pretty much up to us! We are building it for this family that is a
little bit in need. Thennn we found out that another family needs help
building a house, so we are going to help them too! I am goiung to be a
legit house builder! Haha
But thats all for now! I will send pictures next week, I
dont really have a ton from this week that are super good, and it takes
alot of time, so I will send alot more next week! I love you all! Have a
great week!
