e ai família
scripture: 3 Nephi 21: 25 - 29, 22: 13 - 17
so to answer some questions:
the house is a mess. disgusting. we went to town on it. probably the
first time in about 2 years. the iron doesn´t work. so i just put my
shirt in the bathroom and take hot showers and let the steam help a
little bit. the laundry machine doesn´t work. we have been waiting for
a tech support to come to our house since thursday. clean clothes?
difficult. but i am washing by hand. the two bathrooms had drainage
problems. so they smelled like a sewer. but i called a plumber and the
house owner and got it taken care of. now we just need an iron and a
washing machine.
for my homecoming talk (WOW, TRUNKY) i don´t really know when the best
time would be to give it. how long are we gunna be in montana? did you
say that we are going to leave the week after i get home?
i have received some info from friends and stuff. i am gunna be so far
behind all of them in school and stuff lol. but whatev. the majority
are just wanting to know what day i come home and stuff. it will be
weird to see what group i fall into when i get home. a bunch of my
friends from before the mission are still psyched for me to get home.
as for girls? eu não sei de nada.
the ward is incredibly dispirited. like...super discouraged. the bishop
is nearing the end of his service. he is already bishop for 5 years or
something. he is even more discouraged because the leadership is not
supporting him. yeah. we visited him on saturday and basically said
alright well we are here to strengthen this ward and make it grow. so
what do you want us to do, bishop? he was super psyched. i gave him a
big hug and just said that we would do our part and if he needed
anything to count on us. his wife gave us some strawberry pie to thank
us. the bishop was super happy. so let´s see what we can get to happen
this transfer.
mom...pretty soon it won´t be so quiet alright? i will be able to make
some noise and make sure you guys know that i am there. :) then when i
start dating (if that ever happens), there will be people at the house
fairly constantly. but i don´t know who i could date.
hey stuart...yeah i liked the letter. is thor seriously a movie? was
it retarded? or was it good? or was it good in the Fast & Furious
meaning? you and moe excited to leave? and chill in gilbert? but
opening is alright. i will get to the one little problem in a sec.
dude...i have hardly bought anything to bring home. like seriously
nada. SO THIS IS FOR EVERYONE: is there a certain cool thing from
Brasil that you would like me to get for you? stuff is pretty freaking
expensive here. so i dunno. but if anyone wants something, tell me
soon! i am pretty psyched to meet my nephew. but he can´t scream at
me. lol
as for other stuff:
the d-backs are tearing it up?! sick!!
the one little problem that i was talking about is my comp. i guess i
judged early. he seemed cool. he still is okay. but he is what i call
an ´´EU´´ missionary. ´´eu´´ means ´´I´´ in english. so what makes him
an eu missionary? he LOVES to talk about himself. he is very prideful.
he is the guy that says that he did everything to make a baptism
happen. or the guy that talks constantly about how his life was before
the mish and how every girl wanted him for his body and stuff....only
he is serious when he says that. i pretend to be interested for about
30 seconds and then i just start nodding my head and saying
´´yeah...hmmm...cool´´ at certain periods of the conversation. but
whatev.
so we have found some cool people. we have three members who are
dating non-members. yep. so this last saturday we were able to have
one of the weddings :) Jefferson and Aline were married! Aline isn´t a
member. But she is way cool. We obviously don´t know them very well.
But they seem promising. We also found Robson and Jessica. Jessica
isn´t a member. She came to church yesterday. We have their marriage
marked for this Saturday. We just need to help her build a testimony
before being baptized. We also have Renato and Anelise. Renato isn´t a
member but he seems really cool and sincere. We still need to mark
their marriage. Anelise´s mom hates Renato because he has had a
sketchy past; but we are teaching him. Good stuff. We are also
teaching this 16-year-old named Mateus. He is cool, but he has some
big problems with word of wisdom and law of chastity. but we are
preparing him for baptism, as well. He went to church already, too. So
this is what we are working with after one week. Let´s see what kind
of progress happens.
ummmm that is really all i got for you guys. let me know the answers
to the questions i asked. especially if you want me to bring something
brazilian home. lol
i love you all. i still have lots of time on the mission. so don´t
start any countdowns yet. i hope you are all great and that the gospel
is constantly the center of your lives. gotta go. peace! tchau!
