Life is (continues to be) Good...

Be straight, be true, what is shakin´ in bacon, man?

We had our conference with our new President last Wednesday, and it went pretty dang sweet. I like him, he brought most of his family and introduced them, told us about some of the new rules and guidelines, and stuff like that. I liked it. He used to be a bishop when he got called, so he´s used to calling everyone *son*, so the assistants are working on him now to break some of his habits and get used to being President (like calling everyone Elder). He´s a pretty funny/jolly guy, so things shouldn´t be too shabby. He said we´re allowed to play basketball and volleyball on preparation day now, so we might be playing a bit of that here in the future.

We´ve finally marked a date for a baptism this next week, and I´m hoping that it´ll all go right, as well that we might be able to get some more, because it´s making me nervous as heck having no baptisms so close to the end of the month. ( I know it´s only the 13th, but the weeks go by fast and before you know it, it´s the last week of the month and you have nobody to baptize, so you start running in the streets grabbing homeless guys and dragging them to the font....which IO havn´t had to do yet, and I hope I never do)

I´ve included a video of how our kite-flying went last Tuesday... well... how Elder Pattie´s kite flying went. We decided not to wait for the neighbor kids to show us how to do it properly, because we´re American, duh, we know everything. But after the videos, (with my new kite you´ll see) we went to the small park and flew kites with the neighbor kids, and I rocked it, I got to the end of my string and got to name my kite (cuz that´s how they name them, you have to let out all your string first) and I named it The Normandy. then some vagabond kids let loose their pirate kite and were coming over to cut mine down, little criminals, so I had to hurry and wind it in.

Ah, I got the other package last Tuesday as well, the one with a bunch of pictures of ya´ll at the fishing hole, Joseph posing in my car, and DJ hero. haha. Thank you, I loved it. And thank you Mariah for the letter too, :D

Last week wasn´t TOO productive either, (net because of my companion slacking off, cuz I´ve managed to get his but off the sofa and into the street if we´re wasting time) but because we didn´t work preparation day (normal), lost Wednesday for the conference with President (sounds good to me) and then Thursday because 2 girls died the night before from Elder Pattie´s old area, so we went to their viewing in the morning, then we went to go be witnesses at a wedding (which lasted like 5 minutes) then we went to the actual funeral of the 2 girls. so that took up pretty much all day. ugh. And apparently in Brazil they want to get the dead into the ground as soon as possible, so when we saw them at the viewing they were still all bloody and...yeah, (they had gotten hit by a car) and then when they buried them, the gravediggers didn´t even wait for the whole family to get there so the dad and sister didn´t even get to see them. Messed up

So yeah, that´s the news for this week. Hopefully I´ll have a baptism to write about next time.
