Chuggin' Along...

I got the package from the ward today, with the book that everybody wrote in, it was pretty spiffy, I like it. tell everyone thanks, and I also got the package from grandma, with cookies and flakes and everything, thanks grandma :D

ANYWAYS, nos batisamos esta semana!! Yeah, we baptized Leiticia, and it was pretty darn sweet, cuz the two other district leaders all baptized as well at the same chapel, so there were 6 baptisms all at the same time, I liked it. Though some other missionaries were giving us some troubles earlier in the week, cuz they were trying to rob our baptism, trying to get her to baptize in their ward.. haha... yeeeeeaaaah, that aint gonna happen, so I finally just got fed up with it and called the zone leaders and we had a phone conference with everybody involved, we told them to stop being stupid and she´s gonna baptize here. and he was ticked, but that´s what you get for being a lazy Brazilian and trying to steal a baptism from the Americans, that aint never gonna happen. Here comes the boom!! Her father in law baptized her, and then she chose me to do the confirmation, so that was pretty sweet.

Other than the baptism, this week was terrible, nothing went according to plan, and everything fell through, the only people who would talk to us were all the nut-jobs, we decided to go knock doors in a new part of town and met a whole new group of crazies and drunk... so we won´t be passing by there again any time soon.

We´ve been making pancakes these days though, I´ve gotten pretty darn good at cooking them on a stove that either cooks too hot or too low, on a pan that has no handle, with a spoon for a spatula, and a sponge for a potholder. oh yeah. i´m just too stingy to buy any new stuff, besides, if it works fine, why fix it?
Speaking of stuff from America, i don´t mind what you send, as long as it tastes good and fills up the empty spaces in my stomach, just anything random, i don´t mind. though i could use a new oil container... cuz i´m 101% sure that a Brazilian elder stole the other one I had.... I hate Brazilian missionaries.... well.... some of them.....never-mind.

Ah, Brazilians.... it´s pretty sad knowing that our ward has an attendance of 30 every week when it could have 70 if it weren´t for JUST ONE PERSON. There is a sister in our ward that is addicted to gossip. Wow..... now that is something I just don´t have any patience for, I´ve never really had to deal with gossip before.. cuz I didn´t really participate in school groups or was a ward chatter box, but here I have to hear it almost every day, and it´s the worst from this one sister, I cant take it--so sad, there are inactives that have told us that they would go to church again if it weren´t for that family, that´s pretty darn sad. And there´s nothing I can do about it. I´m sure gonna help where I can. Sad stuff.
moral: no gossip.

So yeah, that´s how it goes, we should have a conference with President coming up, and hopefully this week is better with finding people to teach, cuz we gotta plan for February.
