Happy anniversary mom and dad!!!!
Also, someone wish Rory a happy birthday 12th for me! Can't believe she's going into Young Women's!
I
didn't read your emails yet, but it seems like it's been a crazy week
for you all. We have been working crazy hard--I think we taught over 20
new people this week, including a couple of families. We have also baked
way too much, invented a district t-shirt, and been serenaded by
ukelele a couple of times over the phone by the elders (they get bored
or something, don't really know...).
My comp and I have also
been having way too much fun trying to sing all of the pop songs we
remember (which sadly isn't very many haha). The only song that we got
close to remembering all the words was "You belong with me" by Taylor
Swift, and even then we were missing an entire verse haha.
Because
we taught so many people, I won't give you details on all of them until
we know who we're going to keep going with. (also because I need to use
some of my time to work on this district t-shirt). But I think the
highlights would be all the miracles on Tuesday (attaching a picture of my journal
pages from that day), giving a talk on Sunday (which I will also send to
you, but you're gonna need google translate. I got lots of positive
comments :), and then lots of visits to lonely or sick members, and
several less-active families. Also, we did family history with Mauro and
his sister and niece on Saturday! It was pretty frustrating because
Brazil doesn't seem to have the type of records that we have, or maybe
their just not digitized yet.
Something else funny is that
we literally ran to the grocery store a couple of times this week,
because it closes at 8:30, which is usually right when we finish
teaching for the day, and we needed flour and sugar and what not to make
a whole ton of desserts we promised to people. :)
Yeah, ok, I
don't think it was all that interesting of a week, sorry! Kind of
frustrating too, because we weren't trying to teach so many people, but
we weren't able to find/teach those that we had already started
teaching. And also, none of them came to church because it was Father's
day yesterday. But oh well. Some of these people have to come through,
right? :)
Love you all! Hope this week is better!! Praying for you :)
