Let’s see for this week…. First of all, you are going
to have to hit up Uncle Andrew and let him know that I am finally fulfilling
his little mission to collect recipes. This last P-day I made the famous
Coxinha! Ha, probably just about every block in Brazil has a place that sells
this savory little treat. It’s basically just shredded chicken inside of fried
dough.... But I know how to make them now! And then this P-day we learned how
to make Pastels, the Coxinha’s brother, which you can find just about anywhere.
It is the Aunt of our recent convert that is teaching us all of this.
Speaking of recent converts, Luian received the
Aaronic Priesthood and is actually do home teaching as we speak. Jurandi and
his family unexpectedly moved away. So we gotta track them down somehow so we
can continue the work.
Besides that, this week took us by surprise and we
started to work entirely in the other Ward that we are taking care of. We got
to teach an entire extended family of like 10 people that live up on this
"Hill" that is in our area. It is actually just a giant trash pile
covered in dirt. We hiked up there and it has a pretty stellar view. I think we
are going to try to fly kites there next P-day.
Besides that I think Saturday was probably one of the
hardest days of my mission. Everything fell and it was just very stressful
getting kicked out of a house, working with a kid whose parents are always
drunk, less-active members who are too ashamed to return. Also I forgot to tell you that I finished
reading O Livro de Mórmon on St. Patty´s day and I know that book is true. Also we passed by that young man Lucas and we
did a couple lessons with him this week. He said that it really helped a lot
and he really felt the spirit. I just love that kid so much and I am so glad
that I am helping him out. I hope I can get him out on a mission.
Anyways, It is going great. I’m learning, getting
filled with the Spirit everyday, and hopefully here soon we will get baptizing
again.
Love you Fam and have a holly jolly week!
