The Latest

Yes, I have received the cards, and the packages, the first with the fancy ties, thank you! :D and the other i got just a little while ago with the two sweet posters. haha, thank you. And I love the cards too.

I´ll get the very important news out of the way first.....
the other day we left our house to start working, and we passed the construction store down the street. And I gave a thumbs-up to a guy there... and when he turned to walk away I saw that he... had no hands.... aaahh, I felt so bad. haha. but the question is: what was a guy with no hands doing in a construction store?

We are working harder this week, and we ALMOST had a baptism, he had the hour set and everything, but his mom had to leave on Sunday to do something, and his brother who is a member (and hates his little brother) didn´t want to take him to church, so we had to postpone the baptism until this sunday. ARGH!! But we´ll get him in the water one way or another. Even if I have to kick him in while yelling THIS IS SPARTAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It´s too bad that President says we´re not allowed to call members to repentance, or even yell at them... or his brother would have gotten a bit of that from both me and Elder Pattie.
No fun at all.

The other day we were teaching these two young teenage kids, they´re pretty cool and all that, but while Elder Pattie was teaching they kept laughing, and muttering stuff... I dunno why. And then I started to teach, using all my voice and teaching skills I´ve learned I managed to shut them up and make them pay attention without telling them to. Oh yes, I´m an amazing teacher.

Since President allowed us to play volleyball and basketball, our zone went to the chapel in Jundiaí to play the two and to have churrasco (Brazilian barbecue) so that was pretty fun.... and i may or may not have lost my kite... but it aint my fault, the line broke as i was trying to evade a pirate kite that came in and was trying to wrap itself around mine. Dirty pirates.

We won the zone trophy for this last wek, cuz we earned the most points for teaching lessons, marking dates, and talking to people, which is pretty good, even if we´re not having that much success, though we´re gonna earn 18 bucks tomorrow.

I saw the beginning part of the Percy Jackson movie the other day, because we showed up at a member´s home and they INSISTED that we stay and watch. They even started making popcorn for us and switched the movie to English. Needless to say.. we left. But when we went back another day they were playing Avatar!!! ahhhh!!!! oh the temptation!!!

Question: have you ever gone up to a group of teenagers and told them that you´ve traveled 5,000 miles to save their souls? I have :D and have you ever broken up a couple that was making out and taught them the law of chastity? I have. hahahaha.

So I think that´s about it. Not much else happened this week. Thank you for the packages and cards. :D I´ve planned to have a few cakes with some members this week. WOOO!!! so it shouldn´t be too bad eh? haha

Well I love you, miss you, hope you have fun, don´t burn down the redwoods.
