La bamaba!

A very happy Carnival to everybody, há.

So, I got transferred. I'm on my way to a city called Adamantina (I think thatś what it is) in the state of São Paulo. It was another 10 hr. bus ride, with another 2 hrs. to go. Right now I'm in a city called Presidente Prudente for the P-day, and Iĺl get to my new area tonight. Itĺl be a change as Campo Grande is the biggest zone in the mission with about 24 or so missionaries, and Adamantina just has two (2), me and my comp, so I'll see how the change goes.

Há, so Carnival is tomorrow.

Last night as we were getting a ride to the bus station, we had to take an alternate route as the parade/party was right in the road. All the youth in our ward are at Youth Conference right now, as they do it during Carnival to get all the youth out of the city I guess. Fortunately, in our mission, its not as big so we can still work during all the craziness. I'd like to know how Jeff Johnson is doing there in Rio de Janeiro, cuz thatĺl be some craziness there...

This last week we found a couple of good prospects. One lady who manages a local hot dog restaurant is already almost halfway thru 1 Nephi. The only problem is that her husband is a Catholic guy who didnt really appreciate our visit, and doesn't want to hear more. Fortunately, the lady is still reading and went to church yesterday, so I'm hoping that'll it'll continue well there.

Last night was pretty cool. we arrived at the bus station at about 10:00pm as my bus was to leave at 10:50pm, only to find that the bus had a flat tire, so the bus ended up not getting there until about 1:30 am. So it was us and about 8 other Elders who were getting transferred. We tried to talk to a couple of people about our message, but at 12 in the morning all the people who aren't drunk are asleep, so it didn't work out all that well. One of the Zone Leaders had a guitar there, so we held an impromptu sing-a-long there at the bus station. Occasionally somebody would wander by and listen, so I got to let the Brazilians hear a bit of Weezer and Social Distortion. One guy who had had a couple of drinks already wandered by asked me if I knew any Brazilian music, so I attempted to play some songs that I've heard while Ive been here. It didn't work out to well, so I ended up just playing “La Bamba” and he seemed to like it. He was singing along at the end, though in what language I'm not sure. Good times!

Welp, thatś sáll from me.

Im sure that Ill have plenty of new stuff to talk about next week with the new area and all.

Till then -Me
