So it has been about five days since I wrote last and in all likelihood you will get this maybe the same day as the letter for last week (he was right...we did). Mail is weird in this apartment complex. I put in a ton of letters and that was Wednesday or Thursday and they are still there last I checked. And now it is Monday! But oh well. Hopefully they get sent.
So these couple of days have been crazy. Me and my companion have no idea where we are and we don't know anybody. The struggles of being double transferred. But we have gotten to know the Bishop and Ward Mission Leader. And they are awesome. The ward here has only like a 40%, if that, attendance rate, so there is like 60 people max that show up. So we do a lot of less active work and trying to get them to come back. But we are trying to find investigators too. We have two that we have contacted so far that want us to come back. We were going to go to one yesterday but he had to cancel last minute. And he speaks Spanish. So I would probably just sit there during the lesson because I don't know any Spanish. Or I would try to communicate in Portuguese.
The people in this ward are awesome. They love to feed us which is awesome. I never realized how much I would love it when members feed you as a missionary but it is super awesome. They are also super willing to help us with our investigators. And that is super awesome too.
So I have come to find out that biking with a shoulder bag is terrible. It is just super awkward. I am so glad I will just be walking in Brasil. also, riding a bike in this humidity is terrible. The second you stop moving you just start sweating and it is like a water faucet. And it won't stop until you get moving again. I carry a bandanna in my pocket to wipe away the sweat and it gets soaked by the end of an hour. And there has been like one or more thunderstorms like everyday. And it rains every few day. Luckily I haven't had to ride in a rainstorm because it pours. I even got a picture. There have been dome days I have had to change everything but my pants because I get so sweaty. What else is there to say but Idaho/Wyoming boys don't do well in the humidity. At least this will get me used to Brasil. I am so excited to get to Brasil. I want my visa to come soon.
Well, that is it for this week! Ate logo! (means bye)
