Well this week has been a good one. It has been getting hotter after the nice cooling trend we had going on. But that means more rain! And my wife is going to be drop dead gorgeous because I am working hard, I pray a lot, I never drop my script, AND I got stuck in the rain 3 times this week (?? not quite sure what he's talking about here??). Luckily there was a bus stop that we could camp out at each time. But yeah, fun fun fun. So we got dropped by Vera, an investigator, and I didn't even know she dropped us until planning a few days later when I said, "we should visit her". Then Elder Thaigo is all like "NOOOOPPPEEE she dropped us" and I was all like "what?" haha But Vinicius and Jessica are progressing well and they are just waiting and saving money to pay the fees to finish the marriage process here. Then after that they will get dunked haha. SO EXCITED!!!
And Pamela, a former less active, has returned to church and is reading the Book of Mormon and praying every day. And she really likes me because we like the same music and I have lots of bandanas. I guess they are like R$30 here and I said, "these are like .99 cents in the US". She just about died. She wants some haha. And at her house is where I saw the pineapple and the snail the size of my hand. And she has a SWEET view of Porto Alegre. I need to get a better picture of it. Other than that we really didn't see any other people.
We had to take Elder Thiago to the dentist and we did service all day Thursday. We painted doors and around windows of a school. Man, lead based paint and paint thinner smells really good haha.
Well I don't really have any funny stories for this week other than I freaked out over the snail. Like "OH MY GOSH THIS IS SO LEGIT"! And these Brazilians just look at me like, "oh my gosh, look at that freak freaking out over a snail." And then I saw another one and we were with our zone leaders that they just laughed. I then felt that I had to explain that Idaho, as beautiful as it is, does not have snails the size of my hand. THE SIZE OF MY HAND!!! So yeah, this is my life, just a small town boy living in Brazil haha.
Well, I love yall lots. Stay classy, Fica tranquilo.
