Week 5

We had elder Costas talk to us on tuesday, and i gotta say he's my favorite so far, besides Holland. And we also got to watch the Christmas devotional.

I'm not sure if i mentoned this, but our Sacrament meetings are all in portugese; the talks, hymns prayers and most of the announcements. We also sing/pray in portugese in class, and are supposed to for our personal prayers. So that's pretty interesting.

We've started to work in the Referral Center this week. It's pretty fun, we can wait for people to call us, or chat online from mormon.org, or we can call them and follow up on requests and things. It's pretty intense, and nice to do something new and exciting. We have a script to read of course, but for chats and most of the incoming phonecalls, it's all up to us.

We've been going to the TRC (teaching resource center) every week now. We have to get to know our "investigator" in portugese for 15 minutes, and then give a lesson in english. Me and my companion are....not so good in the portugese area, but when we got to lesson 2 last week, we're really good. trying not to sound prideful, i'm pretty sure we're the best at lesson 2 :D If bringing our investigators to tears is any sign.

We had to fill our police reports or something like that for our visas the other day, it's about time. Cuz we've known about it forever.

Well, today is the 1/24 mark. We've got one month done here at the MTC, and besides the fact that i'm starting to lose track of what week it is, it's going pretty well. haha.
