A Week in Review

Ha ha! Great to hear that BYU slaughtered them UCLA Bruins! I remember being really ticked off exactly one year ago at BYU's loss, so now my happiness returns hearing about that. And also good to read from Rob’s blog that a Russian internet café isn’t too far off from a Brazilian one. Currently there are many Brazilian boys yelling at each other as they slaughter each other in some type off Halo rip-off. How different things are around the world, eh?

This week was a tough one. Probably the lowest one in terms of number of lessons taught and investigators at church. Elder D. had to travel to Londrina to renew his visa, so I had to spend about a day and a half outta my area with the other Elders, so that might've had something to do with it. But other than that, we were preparing to have a good amount of investigators at church, called people, etc., only to have nobody show up. It was quite depressing, even more so to learn that one of them was too tired to come to church because she had been unable to get to sleep due to several cups of coffee. Sheesh!

On a funnier note, we visited that older guy in the other Elder’s ward again. He’s getting closer to baptism, just as soon as he stops making his own alcohol in the house. He never remembers any American missionary’s names, so he just called me “Bill Clinton” and Elder Madsen “George Bush” the whole time that we were there. Although he did remember to say “Elder” one time in front of the Bill and George.

In other news, the bishop in the ward is moving, so the ward is all buzzing with what is gonna happen there. Also, we might be dividing my area in a bit as some of the parts are about 2 or 3 hours from the chapel. Apparently plans are going forward for a new chapel around here, which would really help with people going to church.

This Friday is Zone Conference in Campo Grande. I´m excited because Campo Grande is supposed to be a really cool place. (I hear they have Pizza Hut right down the street from the chapel. Whoot!) The only downside is that we have to leave from our house at 3 am Friday morning, as the van we hired has to pick us up, go to Dourados (city about 1 hr. ½ from here) to pick up the other Elders there, and then go to Campo Grande. It won´t be a good day for sleep, but if I can get my taste buds on some real pepperoni pizza, it´ll be a good day…

Welp, that´s is from me.

Later!
