We have another baptism scheduled for this weekend, and then another during conference weekend, and another the week after (the Sunday after transfer day, so we´ll see if I´m still around for that) just thought you´d like to know. :D
We had stake conference this weekend, which was fun, we managed to get 6 investigators to church, which was pretty impressive. 3 of whom are those getting baptized.
Let's see... a normal day´s schedule here would be (when it´s not p-day, or we don´t have any meetings or anything) wake up at 6:30, "work out" for a half hour, study until 11, lunch at 12, then work the rest of the day until 9 or 9:30, then planning for the next day and get ready for bed. Pretty dang exciting eh? I can feel myself getting more and more tired each day.
My p-day schedule is the same until 11, when we come here to do email, then go buy food for lunch, and do laundry and just chill until about 6 when we go back into the world to work. We do email here in a lan-house, there's a wall for just computers, and the other wall has all ps3´s, the other day a kid was playing COD4 and wanted me to play for him cuz he was having troubles. haha, oh the temptation.
We have lunch at member´s houses every day except p-day, which is always fun, dinner is usually an apple, bread, and milk, or something like that, haha, and breakfast is usually chocolate milk and bread. oh yeah.
I do not carry water with me, cuz my bag is heavy enough as it is. but we get water at nearly every house we visit, so that´s good.
And I have no idea if Portuguese is easier than German or not, I'd say it´s easier since it only has masculine and feminine words, and not 3 kinds. but I´ve forgotten all of my German ( not that I really knew much in the first place) so I don´t really know.
No packages yet, but nobody here expects to get their packages on time, they always take around 3 months sometimes.
Yes I can do the flick-your-wrist-and-snap-your-fingers-thing, it´s not really in the missionary training schedule in the MTC, but everybody learns it anyways.
I don´t have anybody that needs to be prayed for yet. Besides, every day at 10, no matter what you´re doing, the whole area stops and prays for a list of investigators. so that seems to be working pretty well.
Apparently there´s a pastor here that really likes missionaries. He always says hi to us in the street, and one night we were passing by the church where he preaches, (and there´s always 3 or 4 pastors that talk each night) so while one of the other guys was yelling and screaming, he was sitting in his seat behind him. But when he saw us walk by he leaned over to see us better and started waving his arms in the air, in front of the whole congregation. haha. nice.
One thing I´ve learned here is that 7th day Adventists really hate the Catholics, the Catholics are just kind of apathetic, and don´t talk to health-product salesman, cuz they´re just 7th day Adventists in disguise.
Hmm... it seems about that time to head back to the house, and wash my clothes by hand.. in a bucket, cuz our washing machine is being stupid. fun stuff.
Love you, peace out.
