Another Update.. a little late, Sorry

Ah well I´m glad everyone had a good Easter. We didn´t really do anything for it here, we did get a small chocolate egg from President though, which we split, so I guess that´s something haha. There were a bunch of dodgy catholic traditions and things, people marching down the street waving all sorts of plants in the air....yeah.
But we spent it walking to and from the chapel in between sessions of conference. We got to watch conference yeah, but we had a choice: we could watch it on the projector with the members but hear it in Portuguese, OR we could watch a static screen in another small room, but hear it in English. I chose the latter. Priesthood session was a recording though, which we watched Sunday morning, so there was no English option...oh, the suffering. I did really like conference though, good stuff, good stuff.
And charging more for doing the same thing always sounds good to me, haha, so I see no problem with that. Wish I could charge for what I do :) "I have your salvation in my briefcase here buddy, do you want it or not? and no, I don´t accept credit"
I got the two packages last week wooooo!!! :D they both came on p-day last week, a couple hours after I had just finished writing my last email. So thank you for the candy and mostly for the pictures. Loved them. It was like Christmas all over again.
Well it´s transfer week this week, and I´m sticking around in my area, YES! So I´ll be with the same address for the next little while. My new companion will be an Elder Casey, and he´ll be the new district leader here. So we´ll see how that goes, I actually stayed with him for the week when I first arrived in Brasil, and he ain´t too shabby. He´s already completely bald, and only has 3 months left on his mission. He should be arriving tonight or tomorrow, so I´m chillin with Elder Steffensen for today.
We had divisions for a couple days last week because of some big meeting with the president, but I went to the area of Morumbi for about 2 days, and was senior companion, which was kind of fun. The area there is really small, hard, veeeery poor, and apparently the branch is being shaken up because of some pyramid scheme, tsk tsk, so lots of people are mad at lots of other people. That´s pretty much all I could deduce from my time there.
We also had another baptism last week. Her name is Jessica, and she´s the daughter of a member. The dad is really active, the mom is wishy-washy, and the son is a flippn fruitcake. So it´s good that she´s really close to her dad. She was supposed to be baptized 6 years ago, but didn´t cuz she was afraid of the water, or the people, or something like that. So we got to teach her, and her dad got to baptize her. So good times, good times. The family also has marked their height on the wall as they grow ( like most people) but they decided to measure me as well, and.... I´m the tallest one of them all, bahaha. I´m about 180 cm I think. I also found I´m only 92 kilos now, so I´ve lost 2 since I arrived here, I´m wasting away to nothing.
Joseph´s drawing is hanging up on my wall in front of my desk, just so he knows. :)
I´ve also noticed that it´s almost impossible to determine the difference between a handicap, and a drunkard. Half the people I pass by that I think are retarded turn out to just be drunk when I can smell the alcohol on them, just thought that was interesting. Just say no.
We have 3 people with dates to be baptized this Sunday, 2 teenagers, and the mom of a member. So we´ll definitely have at least one baptism this week :) Things are definitely getting ´easier´ though, I don´t want to just curl up in a ball anymore. haha. And at night when I pray before bed (you know how you kind of pray in a half-thought half-whisper, well I do) I realized that I was switching in between English and Portuguese, and it was frustrating trying to keep my language straight. :P
Well I´m glad everyone had a good Easter, and conference. That´s about all that happened this week for me this week. Do you have any other questions or things I havn´t addressed?

Until next time children,
Love you all,
Elder Webber
