2-24-2010 Update

Things that have happened this week:

Friday: Went on a split with Elder Geraldo de Santo. We do splits a lot, I'm not really sure why. We didn't switch until late in the day. We did a pre-baptism interview with an investigator, Elaine. She was suppose to get baptized on Saturday, but she got hit in the face, so she is going to wait until Wednesday.

Saturday: Met back up with Elder Silva, my companion. We went to the church to help with the primary program. It was good, there was a lot of laughing but I didn't really understand why. Elder Silva goes home next week, he is way trunky and kind of lazy. So, we usually just walk around a lot. Later that night two elders in our area came over. One of the elders is going home in 6 months, so we burned a pair of pants to celebrate.

Monday: I was on another companion switch with Elder Peart, I was in his area. We went to the home of a new convert and just talked with her for awhile. That night we met back up with our companions and had family night at Lucene's, a member from my ward. She is way cool, but very crazy. We had Elaine come too.

Tuesday: Only two of all our appointments fell through. We went and talked to Elaine about her baptism which is today. Then we went and talked to Maria Luica and her daughter, Tauane. Maria Luica is a recent convert and Tauane might get baptized today. It is very exciting.

I have already met tons of missionaries, but the ones I have actually gotten to know because of splits are: Elders Gerlado de Santos, Peart, Fernandes, Timothy, and Finato. My whole district from Provo finally arrived here, I was happy about that. The weather here is hot, like super hot. I feel gross everyday. The members in the ward are very nice to me and very helpful in helping me learn Portuguese. I get a new companion either this week or next.

Wow, it sound like the Jazz are on a roll, but I can't believe they traded Ronnie B, he was one of my favorites. I'm glad Colin liked Bball this year, has he gotten any taller? Tell Grandma Happy Birthday for me!!! Other than people, the thing I miss the most is my Ipod.

Things I would like you to send me: Body Wash, Peanut Butter M&M's

I love you all and miss you so much.
