Wow, that year blew by fast. It was funny, every time I
wrote the date this week after the 14th I thought, "Wait, this day already
happened once on my mission." They say the rest is downhill from here but
as far as learning and working goes I know theres plenty of uphill still to be
made. We celebrated with a pizza (as seen in the attatched photo)
Fobeccas!!
Well we celebrated my 1 year mark by staying in all day. No,
that wasn't what I CHOSE to do, my companion was sick. We had brazilian style
hot dogs for dinner with a part-member family the night before. The funny thing
about Brazilian hot dogs is that they put EVERYthing on them. Corn, peas,
mashed potatoes, salad - the works. I loved it but unfortunately it didn't sit
to well the next day with Elder Lene.
Transfers
Well Tomorrow is transfers. I sure loved the time I've
gotten to work here in Vila Madeiros. Usually we get transfer news sooner in
the day but it looks like they're taking their time this time. I would love
working in this ward again, there are some truly amazing people here and the
work is definitely accelerating here.
Other mixed news -
- There was a lady we were teaching that interrupted my
companion while he was talking and said "Wow, when I look into your eyes I
feel something different, my hands start to tremble. I don't know what it
is." We played it off and then later she said. "I am trying to avoid
looking in his eyes because when I do my stomach churns" After the lesson
he explained to me that he was drowsing off a bit when she said it and maybe it
was because his eyes were shutting hahaha oh the strange things you hear on the
mission.
- We got a call Friday night from the Elders in my
district that are in another City WAY out in the middle of nowhere to do a
baptismal interview for them Saturday Morning and we had to travel basically
two hours both ways to get there between catching buses and walking. It was
cool though because my companion hadn't been there before and as we drove along
he kept looking in awe at all the greenerie and "Favella" (Ghettos)
that we saw on the bus ride.
If you get a chance, check out the Mormon Message
"The Will of God" - I love listening to the original talk that Elder
Christofferson uses.
Love you all!!
