Can you believe now it's just 2 weeks???? The weeks go by slow (which is
just fine by me) but then when it ends I can't believe the week is
already over and we're starting another and now I just have like what?
14 days or something. The sisters and members are counting down for me
which is not helping.
Sister Fontineles is doing a little better. She got super sick Sunday night because she was so stressed out from having to stay in the house. So Tuesday
she bought a crutch and is walking around with it and seems to be a
little better. Yesterday was rough it was hurting super bad but at least
now people are offering us rides. Tuesday night a taxi pulled over and gave us a lift for free. So that was pretty cool.
Monday for p-day some members took us to a gadapé which was really
just full of temptation because they had real pools there and it was
super hot and we're not allowed to swim. So we just put our feet in the
water.
The rest of this week we were just trying to find people to teach.
It takes a lot of time to get from one place to the other because of
Sister Fontineles' knees but at least she's able to work now. But she
refuses to call Sister Scisci. This week we'll have to go to Belém to
see the doctor because she ran out of medicine.
We are teaching some really awesome people that I think will
progress. We'll probably only have one more baptism before I go home and
I'm hoping it'll be this week with our investigator Junior. He is reading the Book of Mormon, has been to church
twice, and prays at the end of every lesson. His prayers are so sincere,
like he's just talking to God openly and literally says whatever comes
to his mind. It's awesome. I love hearing the prayers of non members and
recent converts.
Riti has come out with us twice this week already and there is a
HUGE change in her. In just 3 days after her baptism she already seemed
more happy and she confirmed that Friday
night when she bore her testimony in a lesson. Before, she was just
super depressed and was never happy and now all she can think are happy
thoughts. It's a complete 180 with her. She seriously is happy ALL THE
TIME and it's just so cute. I think I'll miss her the most when I leave.
Sunday
I had to give a talk on missionary work and I cried. It was pretty
embarrassing. Everybody said they really liked my talk and that it was
cute that I got all emotional about leaving except then they just made
fun of me for the rest of the day.....
I'm trying to decide if I want to bring açaí home. Are you all
interested in trying it? If so I can bring some home but I'll have to
put in a cooler or something to stay cold and I'm not really sure how to
do that or if it'll cost anything. but I'm addicted to açaí it's
probably the best thing in the world. So let me know what you think.
If you're
planning a dinner when I get home can I make a request? I just want to eat tacos and cake
haha. Two things that I miss the most.
Okay love you mom! Until next week!
