Well the world cup is about to start this week and Brazil is
an exciting place to be. We'll literally just be shut into our house during and
after the game this week.
Well the highlight of the week was a stake conference
broadcast that we got to hear from Richard G. Scott and M. Russell Ballard.
Elder Scott speaks Spanish and gave his talk in Portuñol (Spanish/Portuguese
combo) and it was AMAZING. He talked about how God answers prayers and how we
need to respond. The interesting thing I got was that sometimes we don't get an
answer if he trusts us to work it out on our own because we're being obedient.
Our investigator that was there loved it.
I also got to do my first Baptismal Interview this week. It
went smoothly. The only trick was that we caught the hour-long bus home at 9,
the time when we were already supposed to be home planning and finishing out
our day that was a bit exhausting.
Other News:
- The Broken Key - well our key to the back door broke
locked from the inside. Good news - we were inside, Bad news - there's no way
to get to our washing machine or our laundry that's drying without leaving that
door or climbing on the neighbor's roof to get in and out. Long story short -
after several unsuccessful attempts to pick the lock (oh it's a dead bolt that
locks with one of those ancient looking keys) I finally took a screwdriver and
an exercise weight and went to work, busting out a piece of the lock to make a
different key fit - oh what we go through to get to laundry.
- My Chilean companion always says "Aw Fetch" when
something doesn't go well and it's hilarious because he doesn't speak English,
his last companion corrupted him.
