The weather here is....still hot, nothing has really changed. I have gotten used to sweating as soon as I put clothes on, and sweating at night, always fun.
Lets see, news, the other day we were teaching an old lady and she asked me to give the closing prayer in English... that was weird, I haven´t prayed in English (out loud at least) since November, sheesh, I didn´t like it one bit. We also had Zone Conference with Pres. Tobias last week, the best part was going to a buffet-style lunch after, YES! I skipped on the rice and beans and went straight for the watermelon, fried eggs, fried potatoes, and noodles. He did interview me, but it was just about "how are you? Are you sinning? no? ok, thank you, bye" fun stuff.
We walked to a part of our area called THE POINT, the other day as well, and it´s pretty much the poor district of the area......and it´s freaking creepy, I´m glad we were there during the day, because even the normal areas are scary enough at night.
I´ve noticed that the extent of "cleaning up the garbage and raking up the leaves" here means putting it all in a pile and lighting it on fire... so I´ve seen quite a few random fires here and there. Just in the gutter.
We helped a member move to a new house yesterday, so that was fun, as usual I felt like I was doing all the work ( between me and my companion ) haha.
Lets see, about the questions...
District meeting is just lessons with the district leaders and practicing lessons, but i love them cuz I get to talk with 2 of my friends from the MTC , haha, and get a break from my comp, who is American by the way Elder WHITE, transfer day is after the first week in April, so I´m gonna be with him for some time longer, I´m actually getting better in understanding the church meetings and what people are saying, I´m still lost a lot of the time though, but it´s not as bad as it once was. I just laugh when I think they´re trying to be funny and everything works out fine. The family we baptized was Mosair (40 I think) Lucianne (39?) Douglas (16) and Camilla (18) During the baptismal interview they´re asked who they want to baptize them, and since Elder White has been here long before me, they all chose him, hahaha. so I was dry during the baptisms. I don´t know if I´m gaining or losing weight, since I can´t find a scale anywhere, last time I weighed myself was about a month ago and I was 94 kilos. We definitely have enough dinheiro to buy food and stuff, since the members feed us enough. We buy box milk which they leave on the shelf and only needs to be refrigerated after you open it, box milk box milk. Did I mention this last time...? but there are TONS of fruits here that I´ve never even heard of in the US. The avocados are HUGE, and apparently the actual fruit is kind of like the ´cocacola´ of Brazil, where some members think it´s against the word of wisdom, and others don't.
And don´t worry, I´m perfectly fine, no muggings........yet O_O haha, and we always keep money on us just in case we need to give it up. I´ll be perfectly fine.

Love you all, good night, and good luck
