Sun-shiny Day

Wow, so Levi is finally gonna be getting out of there this week, huh?

I find myself with mixed feelings of happiness and sadness. Happiness because he´s going out to his mission...and sadness because I now lose my unique status as the only Elder Heperi on the face of the earth.

Make sure to have him send his e-mails to me so I can keep updated. Oh, and on the blog you can call him “Elder Heperi 2” or “Elder Heperi the Younger” or something like that to denote a difference.

We´re having some pretty good success teaching some really good families. One of them, Ju... and R... are the kind of family that it seems like you serve your whole mission just to find them. They really were prepared to receive the gospel as they already are willing to be baptized and are already married. The only thing we have to help Ju... along with is his love for soccer. For the past few years or so he´s always gone to play soccer every Sunday morning, so now he´s trying to get used to the church schedule. Last week he went to church, but yesterday he went and played soccer. He said that he missed being in church, so I think that he´s coming round.

Another guy we´re teaching, named Ni... is also going really well. His wife, named Sô... has visited just about every church around here in the past 15 years, and says that she really wants to find out which one is the true church. She liked the Book of Mormon a lot, but unfortunately couldn't´t make it to church this week as she had already promised a friend that she´d visit another church in her process of finding. This week though, she should be good to go.

The weather cleared up this week, and we´re back to the brutal heat that I´m oh so fond of. Heh, I guess it´s just going to be another couple of months sweatin´it out here. Luckily the city has a lot of wind, so I shouldn´t suffer too much.

Today should be ok. We´ve got a basketball game planed in the center today, and rumor has it that someone has a football, so maybe we´ll see how the Brazilains fare in a good ól game of two hand touch.

That´s all for me.

Good luck to the other Elder Heperi as of Wednesday.
