Brazil Party

I´ll be honest. I completely forgot that it was Father’s Day. Sorry Dad, and Happy Father’s day. (They have father’s day here in Brazil, but I think it’s a different day. Maybe that’s why I didn’t remember.)

This week we unfortunately didn´t get our baptisms to go thru because the people have to get married still. It’s a bit complicated, as the place where the do the weddings in wa...aay in the center of the city, and we can only travel there on P-day (They need us to be with them to get the discount that the church gets). A big mess, but we’ll figure it out.

I was pretty happy with the ward this week. We were lacking a bunch of lessons with members, and it seemed liked the ward seemed kind of detached from missionary work, so we made up a calendar and went around last Sunday, asking who could work with us during the week. The ward was very receptive, and we had members leaving with us everyday this past week, and so we managed to accomplish our goals and have the ward be more involved at the same time.

Oh, and I got sick for the first time on the mission. (Sick as in had to stay in bed, not just a runny nose.) I got a fever and everything, but after a blessing, ½ a day in bed, and lots of Brazilian medicine (the kind I took had a mysterious florescent yellow strip of color on the pill), I was up and about in time for the ward party on Saturday, where we had a decent amount of investigators. The party was Fiesta Junina (June Party, I guess), where everybody dresses like a Brazilian Hill-Billy (basically everybody looks like they’re from a Mark Twain novel) and dances around a lot. It was good, and I thought that it was just missing a Conga Line, some Limbo, and a dancing lady with fruit on her hat, but it was fine just the same.

Transfers are today, and I’m thinking that Elder Cr... is heading out, as he’s been here for quite a bit. Who knows?

So Levi gets to have a biking mission, huh? Hey, I’ve been hearing stuff from Kamalei´s mission, and it seems like I’ve missed out on the perks of transportation. All I get it the bus…

Welp, sáll from me. Sorry it’s short this week... ´till later.
