A New Companion

My my my, this week was pretty good indeed.

Elder Casey has gone home, he´s just waiting in Goiania for now until it´s time for his flight. And I´m sticking around here in Anapolis :D My new companion is Elder Pattie, ANOTHER American, and so far i don´t think he´s too bad, but we´ll see eh? And i´m just a junior in a normal companionship this time, no chillin with the District Leader. yup. We spent the whole day yesterday and most of Sunday just going around so that Elder Casey could say bye to everybody. But the big news is what happened on Saturday because......................................

We baptized 4 people. wooooooo, oh yeah! haha. A guy named Jorge (29) who is the boyfriend of a member, and then 3 children of a family we´re teaching. The parents weren´t ready to be baptized yet, but the mom asked if we could still baptize the kids, and of course we said yes. I got in the water with the two older kids of hers, so that was way awesome. We don´t have to worry about Jorge, because he´s already friends with everybody and works with a lot of members, and he wants to get married in the temple, we just have to work with the parents of the other 3 kids now otherwise all that work will be for nothing. But they all came to church by themselves on Sunday to be confirmed, which is even better, so we don´t have to go walking around Sunday morning looking for everybody
And then afterward we had the ward talent show that we organized. We started organizing it the first week elder Casey got here and now 11 weeks later it finally happened. haha. So that was sweet. And apparently when you say *talent show* to Brazilians it just means *music show* everybody and their dog brought a guitar and sang, ugh. The bishop had a band with the stake president, with the bishops son and presidents nephew as well. pretty rockin´. so that ended up pretty well indeed.

Hmmm... I seem to have left my other planner in the house, so i forgot what else I´ve had to write about.

I´ve had chances every once and a while to play around on the piano in the church, and i´ve managed to play the beginning parts of: some Zelda songs, Mission impossible, star wars, Lord of the Rings, Corpse Bride, Jurassic Park, and Halo. It´s fun to play i just don´t have anything to play cuz i can´t remember the songs I´ve learned and so on because I stopped piano lessons, and also cuz no one´s got the sheet music for anything but hymns. But yeah, I´m pro.

So yup, we´re got a couple families we can teach and hopefully baptize during this transfer, so that´ll be good. And we´ll be getting our new President the end of this month, holy nervous batman. We have no idea what he´ll be like, but it´s kind of hard to imagine having a President more strict that Pres. Tobias.

Plus the best month in the world is coming up: JULY!!
July 4: America´s Birthday
July 7: ***Bungie day*** The 7th on 7th
July 21: ME

How´s the 50 miler going? you bunch of wimps, why back in my day we hiked up to a lake that we didn´t even know existed, that´s how hardcore we are.

mmhmm, so that´s what happened this week, sent Elder Casey home on a good note, and gettin ready to baptize some more souls. bring em on.

Love, Elder Webber
