So just as the title reads...WE HAVE BUSES AGAIN!!!!! IT IS SO GLORIOUS!!!!! Which is great because we also went to the temple this week, but I will talk about that later.
So it has actually cooled down a bit, which has been amazing. I don't sweat as much right now. And as for our investigators, Lidia has stopped drinking cafe so she is getting baptized on Saturday!!! And Vinicius and Jessica have their papers to get married!!! So the only thhing that they have left to do is sign some papers in front of 2 witnesses (me and Elder Thiago) saying that they will get married 20 days later. And after that they can get baptized!!!!! And we are doing that paper thingy this week! SO EXCITING!!!! And Vinicius and Jessica came to church yesterday and Vinicius was wearing a shirt, tie, slacks, and church shoes!! Everyone asked us, who is that new member couple right there? And we were like those are our investigators haha. So that was sweet. Other than that there is nothing really to report on lessons.
We had crazy other stuff this week because on Thursday we worked the whole day in another area in our district. And Wednesday we went to the temple. Which is not actually in our mission. SO I LEFT THE MISSION HAHAHAHA!! But if you are serving in the city of Porto Alegre you can go as a zone to the temple every other transfer, or every 3 months. And it was sweet!!! I didn't understand much because of the Portugues but it was still sweet! The Spirit is so strong when you are in the temple and I think it is just magnified when you are a missionary. PICTURES TO FOLLOW!! And this goes out to the members of Distrito Otiomo not in Porto Alegre Sul. I have found the long lost comp of Elder Smith. Sister Taylor and Elder Smith already know this but he is here. He got his visa right before we went to the CTM haha. Just thought yall would like to know haha.
Well this week was definitely a good one. And this week will be good too with our baptism.
And here is some culture for yall. Vinicius taught me this. So daown in this state, Rio Grande do sul, there is a saying you say to your best bros, the closest of your friends who are dudes, and it is Meu bruxo. Which translated into English is "my sorcerer". IT IS SO GREAT!!!! I LOVE IT!!! But you only say it if you are a dude to your bros. So keep that in mind.
Well, I love yall very much and I wish yall a otima semana! Te amo e ate mais!

P.S. And these go out to meus bruxos in North Metairie!! Elder Walker you have inspired me. And the Frukito is probably the best juice that I have ever tasted in my life!! That and guarana sustain me haha.
