Sheesh, wish we had somewhere to go fishing down here, but all the rivers a tiny little pieces of junk and they´re all polluted up the ying-yang.

But yeah. I was made District Leader for a day again, when Elder Casey went out to Goiania for some meeting or whatever, so I got to rule my district with an iron fist again until he got back and ended my reign of terror. I shall rise again though. But while I was in office, we went to a birthday party of one of the kids we baptized, and the dad was making churrasco (Brazilian barbecue like at Tucanos) and he cooked chicken hearts, except bigger and better than the ones in Utah, very nice. But we had to go so we couldn´t stick around for the Dragonball Z cake. bummer.
On saturday, we got up early so that Brother Mozair could take us out to a town called Campo Limpo. Because he does the Saturday morning program on the radio there. So we just sang a couple songs, and I did a bunch of the in-between-songs-talking stuff, in English of course. So that was pretty dang fun. Just chillin in the studio for 3 hours, oh yeah.

We had our last interviews with President Tobias yesterday morning. So that was sweet, you can ask questions, he asks about you, and if you´re sinning, he teaches cool stuff. And whenever you´re talking with him he´s always writing stuff down, and before we finished he told me: *now see here: I´ve put this dot next to your name, because I´m gonna be losing a lot of missionaries this month, and I need to find Elders who are qualified to be the next senior companions for when the nextPpresident comes in. So you´re on the list now.* pretty darn sweet if I do say so myself. And then he gave me a blessing, and sent me off. I´m gonna miss that guy.

We´ve spent some time in the area next door because the missionaries there were taken out because of some trouble in the ward, and they left behind a few people who the couldn´t manage to get confirmed after their baptism. and when we got there we realized why they never got confirmed.....cuz they´re both flippn´ kids! Sheesh, that ticks me off when we have to go clean up the mess because the missionaries there before were too dang lazy to teach a full family instead of some kids. Well short story one locked himself inside his house when we came by to take him to church, and the other one is too far for us to walk to Sunday morning, so we´ll just have to hope he´ll show up one Sunday, since he said he would.
And speaking of idiot missionaries, you always hear return missionaries mention *that one bad missionary* in the mission, well I dunno how it was in their mission, or if their measure of a good missionary is different than mine, but here there´s slacker missionaries all over. I mean, we have tons more hard-working good ones, but we have 2 in our district alone who slack off all the time, pretend to be sick, and just waste time. retards. Of course I´ve heard of worse, but still, if I get stuck with anybody like that I´m not going to have the patience to deal with him for very long. President Tobias sent TONS of missionaries home who were slacking off when he first got here, but I guess he´s loosened up a little. So we´ll see if the new President does the same thing. As far as I´m concerned, if you´re not helping the mission, you go home. That´s what me and Pres. Tobias talked a lot during the interview, he asked what I thought a complete mission was, because it mentioned it in my Patriarchal Blessing, and I told him as long as you leave the area better than when you left it after two years, you´ve completed your mission. If you´re just going out to sit on your butt all day, then you should just go home. Because I don´t want to have to clean up your mess.

OKAY, time for some happy news... you know how negro/nigger is offensive in America and ´black´ isn´t? ( well it sort of is now, but whatever.) Well down here it´s completely opposite, if you call someone a negro, it´s normal, but if you call someone black, it´s offensive. Just goes to show you that people get offended over the stupidest things.

It´s Elder Casey´s birthday tomorrow, and just about 4 families have said they´re gonna back some kind of cake, or barbecue for us.... so that should be fun, we´ll see if we´ll actually be able to leave the houses on time and teach some people. I can only imagine what it´ll be like for me, woooo!

And that´s they way the cookie crumbles, I´m pretty sure that´s about it for this week, gonna send up the CD with the picture on it this week, since i managed a massive FAIL last time. oh well.

*Do not try to bend the spoon, that´s impossible, instead only try to realize the truth*
*The truth? What truth?*
*There is no spoon*

Stay frosty,
