heyyyyyyy
scripture: Ether 4: 11 -12
this has to be quick. i took a long time reading stuff.
i am good. my ingrown toenail is so retarded. literally. i think that
is a part of my body that was cursed with a lack of normalness. toes.
NO ONE LIKES TOES. Don´t tell me you like them, because you would be
lying. It is a fact. TOES ARE NOT LIKEABLE. Particularly toe NAILS.
They suck.
alright so it has been raining for 16 days straight. it is a fact. you
can read my journal. rain. rain. rain. Result? Lots of work needing to
be done that never gets done.
People:
Johny and Moira. Spectacular. Love them. We taught about fasting. They
are going to fast with us. Then Moira asked how she can give her
tithing in church because she said that when she was "talking with
God" she told Him that she would pay her tithing if she could just get
some kind of job. She got a job. She wants to keep her promise. BOMB!
Raulino and Elaine. They didn´t go to church. I don´t know why. We
have not been able to talk with them since Friday. Their schedules are
way rough.
Wesley. He cut us. His aunt and uncle suck. They were saying a bunch
of crap to him behind our backs. So he backed out. That was way sad to
me. He believes everything we said but they started saying crap. The
sin will be on their heads.
João. Also didn´t go to church. I don´t know why. I imagine that it
was because of the rain. That is a fairly normal excuse.
Our p-day sucks. we can´t do ANYTHING. we are living under hundreds of
rules. we can´t play any kind of sport, including soccer. we can´t
watch any movies if they don´t have the name of the church. we used to
be able to watch disney animation movies. We can´t anymore. We can´t
go to members´ houses and participate in activities with them. We
can´t do anything. We had the highest baptism average in cascavel and
president promised that each month, the zone or district with the
highest average wins a p-day with him. so we get to do some kind of
fun activity. he decided to forget about that, so we haven´t got to
have a zone p-day. i didn´t realize that p-day meant: study, use
internet, eat lunch, clean house, study and sleep.
IT IS MY LAST VALENTINE´S DAY IN BRAZIL! hey dad and mom...next
valentine´s day...i am going to kiss someone. :) but for now...happy
single awareness day.
I really liked both of your talks. And thinking of a yard with a
putting green and a driving range and golf lab made me trunky. I like
the idea of encouraging older couples to serve missions. There are
certain people that would feel a lot more comfortable with letting an
older couple into their house to talk about the gospel instead of two
young men. i would say that the most important thing that exists to
us, as missionaries, is member missionary work. when we receive a member
reference (referral) we have a much higher chance of helping that
person become converted. they have a friend - a foundation - to help
them into the church. it is so much more effective than tracting.
work was tough, but elder piano and i are good.
schoooool. alright i believe that the scholarship can be deferred
until january of 2012 strictly for missionaries. 5 semesters is
allowable for missionaries. i think that my option now would be to
wait because there is a lot of stuff that i would have to do to start
in august. and it is an entire transfer - 6 weeks - that i would need
to go home early. that would put me in the house right in the first
week of july. i need to talk with counselors and all that stuff.
there is lots of stuff that i would need to do and i don´t know if i
would be able to accomplish it all in a few weeks...
alright my time is up. i gotta run. i love you guys a ton. thank you
for everything! i hope this weeks is better. and that you all have an
awesome week! tchau!
