Week 9

And about learning the language, we don't really have much of a choice here :P It's either learn the language or go home, anybody could learn a language if they spent 9 weeks here. I've learned more here than I did taking 3 years of German.

Still no word on the visas, we'll probably be here for a while. If we're not gone by next week we join the MEGA DISTRICT, which is the district for all the Brazil missionaries that have been here longer than 9 weeks and are waiting for visas... there are quite a lot of them. so that should be fun.

Thanks for the dictionaries, I'll probably need one, they gave us a mini one here but it doesn't have that many words, so that'll help. and about the music, we can't listen to any here ( not even motab) and i have no idea about my mission, i guess i'll just have to wait and see. But from what I've heard about my mission president, i'm gonna say no. Have you heard the song "the Lords prayer" by Motab and Andrea Bocelli? I heard it a long time ago, and i listened to it again here. Probably best song by motab.....of all time. yup.

I ate all the oranges, not too shabby. it's a nice break from all the candy I eat. I put one of the slabs of grandma's fudge on the "sacrifice table" I dunno if I mentioned it, but in the hallway of our dorms there is a table (ironing board) where if you don't want anything you sacrifice it by putting it on the table, and if the gods accept your offering it'll probably be gone within 20.

We're petitioning our district leader to let us have a "p-day fight night" but we're not sure how that'll pass. Something about missionary guidelines or something. (9 weeks without hitting anybody has taken a toll on our minds, we feel like a bunch of hippies)

well, have fun, don't burn down the house.
