It is strange Cleveland is not doing well with Lebron. My
keyboard sucks today so I might have to be brief. For the first time in a
long time it rained this week. It has rained everyday since last Monday I
think. It is nice not to have the sun but we lose the wind when it rains which
makes the air all muggy with the humidity But the rain does bring cool
air which is a nice change. There is nothing I need, but the 30 Reis ($) or so
that mom sends in the letters is always a nice boost. The Portuguese always is
improving. My companion is from Sao Paulo and I have been making egg sandwiches
with chicken this week. Variety is very low here in Fortaleza. And yes I also
read the scriptures. The MTC in Sao Paulo was just really boring and it would have been
better to just go straight to the mission. You learn so much more by doing
something than by talking about doing something. It is funny Kate talked with
that girl from my mission who returned to Colorado. I saw her only a couple times here but she was very nice. She waited
for her visa for 1 year and served less than 6 months here.
It was a fun week but we had lots to do. We had to go
downtown to do this wedding Friday morning very early. The baptism was
Saturday night. Me and my companion bought the cake for them. It was an awesome
experience. The ward does not have very many men so they were excited to get a
man who is educated in the ward. Something that I have learned about missionary
work with people who get baptized is that they really are prepared by the Lord
and it is more the spirit than the missionaries who convert them. We just have
to remind people that they need to care. The problem with people in Brazil is
people just do not care about much. But this week we found some more cool
families that we will start to teach. There are some things that bug me about
my companion but he is an amazing teacher and I have learned a lot from him about how
to work here. He goes home at the end of this transfer.
Got an email from Perryn Huth this week who is in Ukraine. We're emailing early today because we have to go
downtown to go practice in the mission choir. Hope I get a seat on the bus. I
will try to take some pictures of Nova Aldeota.
Lots of Love
