2012

So I got an e-mail from the Mission Office secretary, today. They said that my group is actually going to be flying out Nov. 3rd instead of Oct. 28th. I guess President has some type of meeting with one of the 12 (maybe in Utah?) that week and won´t even be in Londrina, so they told us they had to move the date. Anyway, I guess I won´t be back for any Halloween party after all…

This week was good. We made a really concentrated effort to get people to church, and we managed to get a couple. The attendance was a little weak as most people were traveling because today is a holiday(it´s Kid´s Day today. Who knew that that was a holiday like that?) The last 20 min. of the Church meeting were a little awkward, as no one seemed to want to bear their testimony, so everybody just sat there in silence and our investigators kept looking around thinking “Uhh, is something suppose to be happening right now?”

I guess some thing about the world ending in 2012 has been circulating around the branches here, and what´s worse is that a couple of the folks have been telling some ward members that they are pretty much 100% sure that it´s going to happen in 2012. I thought it was a joke an all, but apparently some of the other Elder´s investigators started hearing members talking about it, so the District Pres. had to go around talking to pretty much all the branches to squash the little seeds of apostasy before the grow any more.

We´re doing well here. The Zone is pretty happy, except for the Sister's who are a little stressed out with their areas, so we head out there once a week to go work with them. I think it´s a little difficult for them, because their city is about the size of Provo, and there are only 2 companionships in the city.

That´s it from me. ´till next time.
