Goin' WELL...

So yeah, lets see here....
Wednesday we had the last conference of the year with President. Not too bad indeed. Sister showed us a bunch of pictures of what our houses should NOT be like, then told a lot of missionaries that their mothers would be ashamed of them. haha. Then president talked a bunch, about some new rules, about the plan of salvation, learned quite a bit. Included in the new rules: only 40 minutes for internet now, cuz some idiot missionary was messing around with stuff that he shouldn´t and now the whole mission has to pay for it. Retard.

We had an activity as a zone, Sister let us decide our own groups... so naturally all the biggest, best Americans formed our own group. But then we found that the activity was about teamwork and planning.... and we still won. America rules.

We had interviews with President too, he´s very cut-to-the-chase with his interviews, the first question he asks is if you´re breaking the law of chastity... hmm...ok. haha. Then he just asked about the district and that´s about it. Not too fun, but not too traumatic either.

Elder Black ate Açaí for the first time that night too, he liked it. It´s good we have the best açaí in the city right next door.

I got my package, wooo! the one with my new shoes, fruit snacks, pop tarts, chocolate, ring pops, and star charts, thank you! the shoes are the right size, no worries. And the star charts are awesome :D thank you.

I went to industrial again to interview another baptism they had. Wow... that ward is sad. It´s tearing itself apart and being destroyed from the inside out. Everybody knows where the church is cuz it´s the church *that always has people fighting in front* sad stuff. SOOO happy I´m here and not there.

This week was kind of a bummer though. We had tons of people ready to go to church with us, and two baptisms scheduled for next week.... but only one person went, so all our plans have fallen through, including the baptisms. I was not happy. It ticks me off knowing that I´m doing everything I possibly can, doing it the best way I know how, and nothing goes the way I want it to. Everything falls through. So now we´re gonna really need a miracle to baptize this month. What a way to start out the newbie´s first month, eh? bummer bro. I havn´t worked harder than I have these last few weeks, but nothing went according to plan. I don´t get it.... But it'll come

We both gave talks this Sunday, haha, welcome to Brazil Elder Black... you gotta talk next Sunday, haha. He didn´t/couldn´t talk for very long, so I had to make up for a bunch of time and talk for about 20 minutes, fun stuff. It wasn´t too bad though. Then the sister that talked after us told everyone that the message I left with her after lunch on Friday really touched her and helped her inactive husband. So she pretty much told everyone how awesome it is to have missionaries like us in the ward.

Ah, Mariah is giving a presentation about Brazil in School eh? lets see....
Merry Christmas: Feliz Natal
Where are my presents?: onde estão meus presentes?
Wake up, lazy!!: Acorde, pregisoso!
Hands off, it´s mine!: Tira mão, é meu!
No time for breakfast: não há tempo para desejum.
my turn: minha vez
that´s it?: Só isso?
Where did you hide my presents? Onde voce escondeu meus presentes?
Who wants to play with me? Quem quer jogar comigo?

How's that? If you need anymore, just ask :D You'll probable have to just guess at the pronunciation... but nobody knows if it's correct of not anyways. haha.

What the... my keyboard just switched from Portuguese to English... now it's impossible to get all the punctuation right. arrgh.

Anyways... Elder Black is getting better, slowly and surely. He always gets way down on himself all the time, so I have to cheer him up, poor dude. And he has a tough time talking with people in the streets, so we'll have to work with that.

So after this we're headed to Jundiai to play volleyball and basketball, it's a good thing it's cloudy or I'd be cooked alive.

So yeah, that's about it for now, here's hoping that we'll see a miracle this week to end the month off on a better note, and hoping that President hasn't lost confidence in me yet. yeah.

Happy thanksgiving, I'm going to go eat pumpkin pie on thanksgiving, cuz a member SOMEHOW knows how to make it, and told us we have no choice but to help him eat it, I'm not complaining, haha.

*One day Kerrigan got a present, oh whatever could it be?
was it a dolly?
A brick?
A walrus with a top-hat?
No! it was better that all those things combined!
It as a muffin!!*

Love you! Miss you!
