More...

I don´t know how wild and cheeky Joseph is, but he can´t be much worse than the kids here. Hardly a day goes by when I don´t see some naked kid running through the streets... yeah, always fun.

Getting ready for conference here as well, of course its tons more work for us trying to get a different family to each session, we´re hoping that they´ll have a room for us to listen in English, otherwise.... it´ll just be daydreaming the whole time.

I´ve got one more week until the next transfer. So we´ll find out then where I´m going and who I´ll be with, exciting stuff, it´ll be kind of sad to leave the people here, especially if I´m headed to a poorer part of town. O_O

I´ve given about 4 or five CTR rings out, only to some of the young men. yup. And I´m keeping a list of names and addresses in my preach my gospel, so I´ll have that, no worries. and my comp has done a good job of telling our converts to write their feelings down in their book of mormon, so far they´ve all done it.

We had another baptism this week. His name is Lucas, age 18. But he´s got the attention span of a 10 year old, so it got kind of frustrating with him at times. But he decided to get baptized, and we´re teaching his mom and friend now. So that´ll be good. After his baptism he said that he felt really light, like he wasn´t carrying anything anymore, so that was wonderful. We have another baptism scheduled for this Friday, the daughter of a member. And another for Sunday, his name is lucas too (13) and I was supposed to baptize him this week, but he was ´indecisive´ so hopefully he´ll come around soon.
And we´re working with a family that has 2 kids already baptized, but we are helping the parents to get married so they can be baptized too. So we have quite a few people lined up.

Yes, I do eat quite a bit of fruit, but not nearly as much as I´d like, I forget the names of them though. Also, I thought you´d like to know about some of the desserts I´ve had here:

Condensed milk
bananas and condensed milk
bananas, condensed milk, and sugar
cheese and some not really strawberry jam stuff
chocolate and lemon mousse
and caramel put on a small tortilla, folded in half or rolled up, and fried, mmmm. good stuff.

so yeah :D and i really like the avocado vitamin drink, I´ve had that a couple times, mmmm.

We got our washing machine to work again, so I don´t need to use a bucket and stick anymore, so that was good news. but bad news..... we have a family here of a non member mom, and a member son, she was off in Goiania working and he was at school when they were robbed, james-bond style, they came through the roof. So we spent some time with him. Kind of a boring story, but this week was kind of slow, except for the baptism of course :)

Pretty much the highlight of my week was I saw my first shooting star ever. wooooo. All my many years of staring steadfastly at the sky finally pay off.

Keep rockn´ those light up shoes, and I´m a pro bus-rider already.

Love ya´ll
Elder Webber
