Busy,...busy...

I stopped and laughed for a long while after i saw the score of BYU vs. Wyoming, awesome stuff.

That´s cool that you got to see in the MTC and all that, I hear it´s way hard for people to gain access to that place, I dunno why, there have been quite a few articles where reporters have been impressed by the church´s streamlined-ness... until they got to the MTC and had to wait FOREVER to be allowed inside. oh yes, the mysterious MTC. and that´s AWESOME that Brendan got his mission call!! I´ll be sure to send him a letter soon before he heads out. It´s gonna be a while before I see him again... what a bummer. but he´ll do great.

Congrats mom, the Portuguese you used actually made sense, haha. does it translate both ways? if so:

Eu só quero falar que eu sou ´O cara´. tenho muito saudades de minha familia, tó muito animado para voltar e brincar com meaus irmãos de novo, especialmente José. aquele novo trem que ele tem deve ser muito bacana, né? Zach: vc é bebézão!

I dunno if that translator thing translates slang... so good luck :D

A part of me hopes that Joseph´s tree house isn´t finished by the time I get back, cuz I wanna build it, but then again that´s kind of selfish of me....

Anyways, we had 5 baptisms planned for this week... but they all fell through at the very last moment. Bummer. And we didn´t really have much time to work this week either, on Wednesday we had mission conference, and President gave the mission a new program called *total obedience* where we earn points on how obedient we are. Easy. Elder Black gave me a little card from one of the girls I baptized in Maracanã, and it was the copy of the birth certificate of her baby, I was so happy! And kind of bummed that I had missed it. oh well. At least they thought to send me something :D

Then on Friday I spent the day with the secretaries cuz they are temporarily without district/zone leaders, so I had to drop by and do it for them while elder Erickson did some here in our zone. Fun stuff. As the secretaries describe themselves: *missionaries that are part of the world, and part missionaries* they´re amazing missionaries ( at least the ones we have now are), though they can´t help being exposed to worldlyness every once in a while... poor guys. I spent most of my time with Elder Lopes (American) he´s a HUGE movie buff, and he was disgusted with the movies that I HAVN`T seen, so he gave me a list of movies that I need to see when I get home. Then we went out to eat pequi icecream.... very strange, but likeable.

The other night we were heading to a lesson, and a bus passed by (not strange), except this bus had a bunch of people that had found their way on top and were moto-surfing. And I instantly was teleported to the world of Surf Ninjas. MOTO SURF!!.... I wanted to join them... and apparently the bus driver was perfectly fine with it. Sweet. And then this weekend was conference, oh how I love conference, just get to sit in an air conditioned room, listening to the prophets in English in a room full of Americans. Woo! I participated in the special musical number for the assistant´s baptism in between the Sunday sessions, fun stuff. Loooooove general conference. and it´s way cooler via satellite, cuz they show so many cool things in between the sessions. like a SWEET movie in between the Saturday sessions, called The Messiah. I loved it. Pretty much I learned that Jesus was a white wizard.... mmhmm.

So yeah, we had just a couple of days to work this week, had lots of things going down, there were TONS of baptisms scheduled for this weekend, but most of them fell through.... how sad. And this next week will probably be transfers (nobody knows with President Prieto, he wakes up one day and decides it´s time for a transfer). Busy, busy, busy. *poof! what do you need? Poof! what do you need?*

*well y´know, ya never know, k´know?*
Love you all!
