ZChristmas was awesome, it was great to see and talk with everybody on skype, Everybody sounds/looks so much different. Josh looks like a scallywag with his hair, zach looks... the same, but sounds way different, Ben sounds older and looks..... strange. Mariah looks older but still sounds the same. and Joseph is the most different out of everybody.
I´m happy that everybody had a great Christmas, it certainly didn´t feel anything like Christmas here, everybody just did a churrasco and got drunk... as usual. We had apple pie and chocolate cake the night after Christmas day, so that was pretty fun. haha, and I´m happy to hear that Jared Whippy enjoyed his first American Christmas (there´s really nothing else like it in the world, America does it the best, by far, that´s why we´re #1 :-) )
While we were at Lehi´s house, Elder Black gave him some of his Sour Warheads candy.... hahaha... funniest thing I saw all week. So now he gives them out to all our other friends and investigators to see all the faces they make... nobody likes them. They all spit them out the moment they put it in their mouth. Good times, good times. Then we played a game with his *every flavor* Jelly Belly jelly beans... I had *barf flavored bean* taste in my mouth the whole rest of the day.... that wasn´t as fun.
Also, during our pancake night with André´s family, we used the maple syrup I got, and the kids hated it. haha, they preferred to just eat the pancakes plain. hahaha, the parents liked it, but the kids said it was way too strong. So I tried it to see what the problem was... and I experienced 5 seconds of heaven. In other words, the maple was fine, the kids are just weird. They´re just not used to pure-awesomeness.
Mariana and Dilmas got confirmed on Sunday, and the family is still excited to go to church, including the parents who say they´re gonna get married in January so they can get baptized, yay!! And then we marked another date with a girl we´re teaching for the 22nd. So now we have at least 4 baptisms for the next month. YES!!
I really don´t have that much more news... cuz I told about everything on skype,
We met our tipsy friends the other day, one of them was waaay too drunk, so we told him * dude, you should go home, you´re drunk* response: *who´s drunk? you are! I´m going home, I don't want to hang around you drunkards* hahaha but then another whipped out a guitar from somewhere... I don´t know where it came from, so we just finished off the night by singing songs, (some from my hymnbook that I had on me) Then we left, they told us to come by anytime, cuz they don´t like mischief-makers, and we´re people of god, and the like us. Pretty much they´re the best group of friends we have here in this part of town. All the new people that were passing by were introduced to us by our friend and now we have a group waiting for us anytime choose to pass by. haha. sweet. And it was while I was sitting there, talking and laughing with them all, that I realized how much I love Brazil. Sure some (most) of the people are half-stupid, don´t know how to drive and are religious maniacs who don´t know how to take care of their money, but the people we were hanging out that night were the best/nicest people I´ve ever met, if the world were full of them, we would have no problems (except for the lots of drinking part).
How´s Joseph liking his blue motorbike? I´m digging my legos and sweet t-shirt, I´m wearing it to our barbeque today. woo!
Well, I don´t have much more to talk about. But I hope you have a great week and a happy new year.
Love ya dad, love ya mom, love ya all you other people.
Stay thirsty my friends.
Elder Webber
