Another New Area!

Well I just got back from getting my hair cut. 8 bucks to have the guy pass a number 3, sheesh! holy freaking rip-off batman.

Anyways, today I am on the other side of the city of Uberaba, working in the ward Uberaba. Why? because last Thursday we were transferred....the both of us. SO we got here and now we have to open another area all over again. ARGH. And now there are sisters in the area we just left....good luck to them in that house with a toilet that has no toilet seat, and a shower that only has freezing cold water, bwahaha!

I really don´t understand, apparently Sisters normally stay in the area more central, and that was ours... but getting transferred after 2 weeks? sheesh, what a mess. Though I do like this ward better, not so many hills, and cooler members. And we still have a grilled cheese sandwich maker, YES!! oh sweet mercy, after almost 6 months in Anapolis without one of those, it´s amazing to finally have one. Our new house is pretty big, though it´s old and looks like junk. We have no beds, just mattresses, so we sleep on 2 mattresses each, and it aint too bad, there´s a whole room we don´t even use, we just leave our suitcases there.
I havn´t even been here for a whole week yet, and it already feels like it´s been forever, these days have gone by so sloooooooow.

This last week I´ve been convinced that I should work on the radio....almost. Because at least 4 times these last few days, people have told me that they looooove my voice, and that they love listening to it and that i should work on a radio station. They even asked me if i was a famous radio host, haha.

Be jealous.

Last night was pretty fun, we stopped by the stake president´s home, he wasn´t home of course, but his family was. And his sister/cousin/mother in law ( it´s so hard to keep everything straight) made hot chocolate and gave us biscuits. WOW, I havn´t had hot chocolate since i was in the MTC, and it is goooood. and then, of course, the little kid had to ruin everything by wipping out the xbox 360 and playing it in front of me......jerk. But his younger sister looks just like Mariah, and acts just like her too, haha, I´m not kidding, I think they would be best friends, so i got along with her pretty well, she´s 7.

Hmmm... and about those perspective baptisms... we´re still working on contacting the investigators that were left behind by the last elders, so I´ll probably have some news about them next week. But the good thing is: That sister missionaries can´t baptize, so if the people we left for them to teach end up getting baptized, we´ll probably be chosen to do it, so I´m still gonna count them as points for me. We had 2 complete families that we were teaching, so hopefully Betty and Suzy don´t mess anything up. But I´m sure they´ll do fine, and as far as I know, they´re probably not as lost and struggling as we are here.

I can say too, that what Ryan Clark said about *eventually doing the things because he wanted to, instead of because he had to*, is definitely true, and happens, as well as those experiences during the first few days in the MTC, and the Field. Thanks for all the advice, insights, experiences, and counsel you send each week, I love reading it and it certainly helps.

I guess I should talk about the city.... well it´s a city, pretty darn big, not like a bustling metropolis, but still big, way bigger than Provo. There´s cobblestone streets all over the place, which look cool but kill the feet. There´s pollution and noise everywhere, and the red dirt always messes up you newly-polished shoes. And every night we´re lulled to sleep by the drunks in the bar across the street singing karaoke. haha.

But yeah, getting to know the new area, Elder Xavier´s map-reading skills havn´t improved:
*the map is all wrong, when I hold it normally the streets are all wrong, so I have to hold it upside down, but then all the names are upside down and i cant read them!!*

I don´t know if he realizes that everything is relative, and that he can just turn his body around.

So that´s about it for now, sorry for the lack of news, but besides being transferred again, not much else happened.

*Excuse me, have you seen my stag?*
*Aw, piss off!!*
*Is that a *yes* or a *no*?

I love you, miss you
