I Don't Know What the Big Deal of Carnival is! (3-10-14)

How yall makin' out meus queridos,

So yeah, if yall want to know what carnival is like, nao sei.  I guess that Porto Alegre is not into the big parties so everyone abandoned Porto Alegre and flocked to either a bigger city (Talves Florianopolis or Curitiba) or they flocked to the beaches.  Either way there was no one in our area haha.  So we had no problems.  And I got my new comp, Elder Pereira.  He is from Sao Paulo which makes my apartment 3 Paulistas and 1 American haha.  But they are all awesome and they are helping me with Portugues haha...slowly.  They use alot of slang haha.  And my comp said to me one time, "It is good that you can't understand them sometimes, haha"  And he only has like 1.5 transfers left, so I will most likely be the one to finish him off...haha.

So this week we didn't see many of our investigators.  BUT we saw Vinicius and Jessica with Bishop and his wife and that was SICK!!! (which means very cool).  We talked about reading the Book of Mormon because they have recently stopped so this needs to change.  So that was great.  We spent most of this week meeting members because of my new comp, so that has been really good.  Except for the part when we saw a member Eliane and she thought that her husband was cheating on her.  That wasn't good, but then we went back and it turns out that he actually was working late at night so we dodged a bullet there haha.  But I think that this week we will see our investigators more.

Well that is about all from me.  It rained alot earlier last week.  And when it rains...IT RAINS!! haha  Lots of water.  It is pretty crazy.  And funny story...I love when Brazilians speak English.  It is broken and they can't say words right haha.  And the best part was Elder Iago, (the other new guy in the apartment) and he was cleaning the apartment.  Which it was pretty bad.  I could only do so much because I was like the only one who did anything last transfer.  So Elder Iago was weilding a broom and killing spiders and their webs say "Elder Moroni!  Nao gosto das aranhas!!!  I hate espiders!!!"  And he was repeating this over and over haha.  It was pretty grand.

Well that is all from this side of the equator.  I have no pics so I'm sorry, but I will take some.  Fica tranquilo.  Stay classy.  Amo voces and VAI E CONQUISTA!!!
