CHRISTMAS!
Hey there!
okay...scripture: it has to be Luke 2.
um more news? i don´t think anyone will be able to handle this. so
lauren...that whole thing about how you didn´t want more transfers?
yeah that wasn´t a wish that was granted. i wasn´t transferred! but
elder standard was. yeah. president took the pleasure of informing me
that i would be opening an area. so standard went to marília or
something. and me? i received the new missionary. his name is elder
ferreira. he is from pernambuco. he is 20 and has been on the mission
for 4 months. he is...i dunno. he is short. like way short. but i
basically said alright man we are opening an area. we don´t have a
thing to start with. we are gunna have to work. a lot. ok? and that
was that. so we are gunna work. a lot. kinda interesting. president
has really thrown me for a spin quite a few times.
thank you for those that participated and provided their scriptures. i
will study those this week. alright for some other little updates. i
got one package from mom and dad on saturday when
elders ferreira and calvacanti got here.
i don´t know when i will get letters or anything else.
i don´t know why i haven´t send pictures home. it takes forever on the
computers and i am afraid to send the memory card home
like i did last time.
i LOVED the Christmas letter. it was hilarious. as always. you guys
are not empty nesters. not at all. you guys are spectacular.
Lizzie got to the CTM this week?! or to chile? why did it take so
long? i thought she left several months ago??
mom the christmas conference was difficult. the sleeping conditions
and such were...crazy. but we managed. certain people slept on the
floor...others slept outside. lol
the work here is still rough. we are working with a few people. i
think i finally was able to get through Indianara´s head. we basically
told her that now that she knows what commandments she needs to keep,
if she doesn´t keep them, she doesn´t have the right to receive
revelation from the holy ghost. so i told her that she needs to talk
with her boyfriend about marriage seeing that they are living together
for 4 years now. i felt the spirit. i know he guided me as to what i
needed to say.
other than that...we are just trying to find people to teach. we will
have more updates soon but this time of the year is TOUGH as nails to
teach. the people don´t really listen ya know?
and now for the important info....the phone call!
okay. so you will be calling to the chapel here! the number is:
45 3223 5065
you will have to do the country code and such. you guys can call
around 4:15 here. so i think there is a 5 hour difference between our
times right now. so you would call at 11:15 AM in arizona. it will be
on saturday. i hope that is all the info we need.
we are working with a few families here, but the majority are all
catholic. we will see what happens. generally they don´t like the idea
of commitment. the catholic church is so lenient so it is tough
sometimes. but we are working.
i am super psyched to talk to you guys this weekend. it is gunna be so
cool to hear your voices. i wonder if Jackson will speak to me? haha i
hope that everything goes well with the phone call. thank you for your
letters. i love hearing about everything going on at home. i hope you
are all super psyched for christmas!
oh yeah! i got electrocuted this week! it was crazy. this electric
fence had some crazy freak-out session and it ended up hitting me.
some houses have some protective electric fences and one of them
popped and hit me when we clapped at a door. talk about crazy. i went
kinda numb for a few hours and had a way bad headache and i was way
tired/weak. but i am good now.
i am super psyched for this weekend. love you all! peace!
