WE GOT A GAUCHO AT CHURCH!!!!! (1-19-15)

This week was freaking awesome!!!  Way better than last week.  We got 5 investigators at church!!!  Cleber and then a family that has taken 8 weeks to get them to put away the dumb excuses and get to the church.  And the dad (Zacarias) came to church decked out in roupas gauchas, even more than I have.  It was legit.  And they loved it!!!!  And ever better Cleber and Sonia ("wife" of Zacarias) started reducing the amount they smoke!!!!  BABY STEPS!!!!  FREAK YEAH!!!

And this week we had the other 4 elders from another ward in the city live with us because of problems at their place, so they lived with us while they got a new house, which they moved there today.  We helped.  But it was super fun to live with them, but kinda stressful.  Always dirty and 6 people to shower in the mornings, but it was kinda sad to see them leave today, especially because our 2 zone leaders are going home in a week.  And they are legit.

But this next week will be a sweet week.  I am pretty sure that this is my last week here.  10 months in the same zone is a long time.  And there are 12 zone leaders going home this transfer so the leadership of the mission will change a lot.  Lots of district leaders becoming zone leaders and such.  But I am staying focused on my current area which is Laranjeiras, home of the celestial orange tree haha.

Well that is all I have for ya'll this week.  I love ya'll and ya'll stay classy ya hear!!!
