Anyways,
this week I did a super cool training/activity at District meeting, all
about preach my gospel. We played a game where they had to answer
questions like "what do you do about this?" "who said this quote?" and
"where you find this?" all without looking. They were pretty mad at me
when I made them write down all 10 of the bulleted suggestions in "How
to Begin Teaching". Tuesday night we had dinner with the branch
president, and at the end we sang a special rendition of "Away in a
Manger" (Pres. Paulo took a video), and then I gave a cool on-the-spot Christmas message about the "condescension of God" (1 Nephi 15, I
think). And then they gave us each a pair of earrings, and we took
pictures in front of the tree! It was super sweet :)
That
night we left for Bahia for exchanges. I love Teixeira de Freitas! It's
my dream to serve there one day. We forgot that Bahia doesn't do
daylight savings time, and Espírito Santo does, so we were pretty late
for Almoço when we came back on Wednesday. But Wendesday was also
a miraculously productive day, and the Irmã let us eat anyway, so I
can't complain.
Friday we did exchanges again, except here in
Linhares. At night we made french bread pizza. Saturday was the worst
day, heat-wise. Friday night we almost couldn't sleep, and everyone was
feeling pretty awful that morning. But we had Almoço with one of our
favorite families, and we all sat on the floor on the enclosed patio :)
Sunday
I gave a talk! I'll send a picture. We also visited a couple of less
actives, and "ministered" a family that didn't go to church that day. I
joked that we should read Moroni 6, to show them that it's important to
go to church, but we ended up actually reading it, and it was
really spiritual.
And today I'm in Vitória! There was a ton of
confusion about our bus, but we got here. And it rained this morning in
Linhares so maaaayyyybee it'll cool down just a little? Maybe not haha.
This
week we only saw Joyce once. The AP's are keeping in contact with her,
but even they can't talk to her when she's at work. But her baptismal
date is still marked for this Saturday! And she was pretty excited when I
talked to her :) So lot's of prayers for Joyce, please!!
Family:
what time are you all going to be able to talk next week?? I'll be at a
member's house for Almoço. I have 15 more mins if someone can respond
right now?
Love you all! Tchau
