A Visit to the Clinic.

Well, one highlight of the week was yesterday. We had interviews with Pres. Leal last week, and Sis. Leal informed us that we all had to go get a shot for some disease that I´m not sure what it is in English, but it sounds like Rubella (German measles, right?). Anyway, I thought that I had gotten that shot, but just to be safe we all headed over to the local clinic. And you know how much I love shots, (it ranks up there with my other two passions in life: Death metal and films based on Jane Austen novels. Whoopee!). Anyway, the nurse told me I didn´t need to tremble so much while the shot was happening. In any case, I´m now Rubella free.

This week was a week of cutting those investigators who weren´t progressing. We took a look at all those we were visiting and working with, only to find that we were very low in the department of progressing investigators. So it was back to some long hours in the streets and at the doors finding newbies. It was great, and now we´re currently teaching a couple of Catholics, some people from the Assembly of God Church, a girl from the Seventh Day Adventist Church, and a boyfriend-girlfriend couple from a church called Sara Our Earth. It´s an interesting crowd...

We held a musical fireside this last week. It was kind of a musical/kinda theatre type thing that was written by some convert to the church about his experience being converted. It´s called "The Pursuit of Happiness" (minus Will Smith). I was the Pianist for the thingy, and we managed to get most of all three wards that are here in Ponta Porâ to come, so there was a good crowd. We didn´t pick up many new investigators unfortunately, but those we did get as new references are good.

On a closing note, we had a really excellent mini-mission conference with Pres. Leal. Too much to go into detail right now, but I learned a lot about following the Spirit. I´m writing it in my journal, and we´ll see what you guys think in a year or so.

sáll for this week. Until next.

Excelcior!
