Week without P-Day

Yeah, so yesterday was enlighting. I guess if I´ve got to sacrifice my P-day, I might as well do something worthwhile. The meeting with Pres. Leal was good in Londrina, and I got to see a lot of my buddies, probably for the last time.

General Conference was good as well. Everbody was buzzing about the announced temple in Forteleza, Brazil (There are some Elders from there so they´re really excited.) I liked that Elder Bednar burned the people who proclaim their love from the pulpit, as some guy just did that last week in our branch last week. Hilarious.

We were a little disappointed with some of the turnout at conference. It seemed like barely anyone went. We even arranged to come by with a member to pick up Cle... and Ta... (our really golden family) only to show up at their door to find that nobody was home. Really sad.

One of the recent converts, named Ia..., brought some of her sisters and cousins to conference, and her little sister, named Io..., age 16, has got a baptismal date set for later this month. She couldn´t get baptized because she was living with her... ex-boyfriend ... but it seems that the Lord has blessed her because her ex-boyfriend ended up in prison as a result of some situation, so now she says that she´s good to go.

I loved Elder Heperi the Younger´s e-mail. I liked how many times he managed to work the word ghetto into the e-mail. It´s funny, because I kind of get the same reaction from people here too. I´m thinking that about 90% of the country here has never seen a brown American before, so people get a little weirded out.

My thanks to Rob, Talisa, grandma and grandpa for the letters this time. Whoa, I can´t believe that Dave´s getting married already. I guess I´ll be home in time for the wedding, though, huh? Yeah!

I think that´s all from me for now. Time´s short today. Till next time.
