A GREAT week... (again)

So carnaval is going down here, and it is a VERY unwise idea to glance at any tv as we´re walking around... as we´ll see all the ´serious business´ of carnaval in full swing... not very good. All the kids from the ward went on a campout over the weekend (Sunday included) so the parents wouldn´t have to worry about them getting up to no-good in this carnaval season. always fun, though carnaval isn´t too strong here in goias, more just in Sao Paulo and Rio.

Thank you mother for the information about the scripture cases, there´s some missionaries wanting it. :D. and yeah they showed up the week before Christmas, and they weren´t munted at all. the pictures and the scriptures and the Portuguese is all perfect, so no worries. speaking of packages, in the box I got last week (with the candy) came the all blacks shirt, the Disney shirt, and the United shirt (just to let ya know everything arrived alright. though i really hope there´s another United shirt at home, cuz i traded it with Elder Vitorino for a Goias jersey, pretty spiffy. and I really liked the United shirt, in other words.. I want to have my cake and eat it too, and have both shirts, bwahaha.

Me and Elder Erickson have been talking, and we have decided that it´s just about time the family buys a wii with wii sports and wii yoga (we think mom would love this one). We both have tried it out (before the mission) and we think it would be a very nice investment, (for mom and dad), cuz it works really well and it´s fun. yay!

So last Preparation day we (me, Elder Erickson, Elder Dantas and Elder Fonseca) went to a city called Trinity... and we were not prepared for all the catholic action, i´ve never seen so many saints in my life, nor so many scenes of Christ being crucified. We checked out the cathedral, pretty nifty, checked out a cave with the virgin Mary, we checked out the *room of miracles* we checked out a street where every intersection had a different scenes from the passion.. and so on, I took a lot of pictures so I can remember our very inspirational day there.

So church here is pretty interesting, the lst two Sundays we´ve been asked to sing the special usical number during the sacrament meeting, not too shabby, I always put myself in to sing the low part...duh. I´m a bass for sure. But yesterday, a girl who has been going to church for 5 months and never got baptized (I have no idea why) came up and said she can be baptized now, WOO! so this next Sunday morning we´re gonna baptize her. what up! and we´re still working with another family to be baptized this Friday, but they´re starting to look a bit flakey, so we´ll see how that goes.

hmm... what else is new? ah, we´ve made pretty good friends with a couple here, we only meet them in the streets, but the man wants to marry the lady, though she´s a raging alcoholic, but she doesn´t want to marry him though they´re together every hour of the day. so they always meet us during the day and she tells us to find her a husband, and he tells us she´s nuts and doesn´t love him, and so on. very funny, but it makes you feel bad for the poor guy.

Other than that, not much has been going on, hopefully things start to pick up soon, cuz the work is going rather slow, looks like our zone is bound to have a lot of success this next week.

*I do NOT want to work in the HOME DEPOT!

Love you!

(I remind Elder Erickson all the time that he has almost single digit weeks left on the mission, bwahahaha, I´m the best companion ever)
