Hey Mom and Family! 6-13-12
Thanks for the
email. Yeah, My companion was exactly like I was when I got here!That's basically how it was
when you get here into the field; You really couldn’t speak a single thing. I was a tough first transfer to teach, but
now I’m watching it all on the other side of the spectrum, he's having some of
the same problems as I had to teach, but he's a good worker and he does a ton of
contacts, even if he can’t really understand what's going on.
I think that the
Brazilian craze is coming to Oregon because of the Olympics and the world cup that
coming, and cuz Brazil is just awesome.
Yeah so this week
was fun but tough. Sunday all of Brazil
watched the dedication of the Manaus temple.
It was amazing. It was kind of
cool to see president Uchtdorf outside of general conference as well. The moment that he started to dedicate the temple
you could feel the spirit enter and you could feel just like you were inside of
the actual temple.
So last Sunday was
fun, we were getting ready to go the temple dedication when a huuuge rat comes
in at like 8 in the morning and goes and hides under the fridge. I hate rats btw. Anyway, I started banging on the fridge to
try and scare it out while my companion built a barrier so that the rat wouldn’t
have anywhere else to go but outside the door.
After a while we scared it out and it went straight out. It left some pooplets behind and I think it
peed under our fridge, it’s gross; we still haven’t had time to clean
underneath it.
Anyways, that day
all of our appointments fell through.
After the day was over we went back home and we got involved into some
drama that was happening with our neighbors who are members. We decided to entertain their 11-yr old
daughter while they were fighting it our (it looked like the dad got
drunk). Anyways, later on some other
members came and helped us out so that we could go inside and plan. But they told us that we shouldn’t get involved
ever because the family is a drug family and they could do some crazy things. One of which is that they probably sent their
daughter over so that she could steal them something that they could sell for
drugs. It's a pretty nasty business
here. Anyway, we decided to make a goal
of 8 baptisms here for this transfer (which ends on the 17th of July). I was hoping for you guys to help us out
through prayer so that we can achieve this goal. The problem is that we still have a pretty
small teaching group, so we need to find a ton more people. Anyways, all is going well here. I hope you guys are good! I love you guys a ton!
