Rain and Raincoats

This week was a bit slow. Unfortunately, we spent more time hiding from thunderstorms than teaching. No joke, it rained every single day this week, and not just the little sprinkle kind. Full on Brazilian monsoon kind. (My comp says that they don´t have monsoon's in this part of the country, but I beg to differ.) Wet wet wet.

I´m glad that I have my big raincoat, as I´ve been using it all week. I get lots of compliments when I use it. Adults say I look more American with it on (I guess because of the heat here, nobody has a coat as big as mine) and kids say I look like Neo.

On a happy note, we had a baptism this week. A guy named Mau... who got back from his mission a few months ago had us start teaching his sister. She progressed really quickly, probably due to the fact that she had already been to church a few times and already knew a lot of the doctrine. Anyway, she became the only other active member of the family, so Mau... said he was really grateful.

Ha, today I feel like I dodged a bullet. There´s an all-day meeting with Pres. Leal and all the Zone Leaders. And as of yesterday, all the District Leaders were supposed to go. I was a little sad as that meant that my P-day would be spent in a meeting all day, but at the last minute I guess that President changed his mind. Hooray!

This next week is transfers, so we´ll see if everybody moves around. I´m pretty sure that me and Elder L... are gonna stay together. I guess a huge group is going home this time, with not to many arriving, so the mission will be a little emptier.

Welp, I think that´s all from me.

Sorry it´s so short this week.

´till next time.
