Yeah.. I don´t remember. Maybe you can try for me and find out my name and password. haha.
Anyways... 20 minutes later...
So all week we were running after baptisms, we had 2 completely ready, but one fell through during the start of the week, another then just fell into our laps *hey, can you baptize me?* HALE YEAH! so we marked a date for Sunday, then later we found out that his family re-marked it for the 4th, NOO!! well... at least it´s still a baptism. then we were working with our friend Gilvanilson, we was being a bit flaky about baptism. So I gathered up 2 members, prepared myself. and headed to his house. I was reviewing all my tricks and moves before I got in. Then during the lesson I pulled out my bag of magic and sprinkled some fairy dust, the two member boys taught well, even my companion did pretty good. Felt like the A-team, and he accepted to be baptized Sunday morning. WOOO!! Then.... passing by there Friday night, we found out that he went for a trip... until monday night, NAAW! what a bummer, total let-down. So after 3 firm dates, all fall through. And I´m left with empty hands for this month. just shoot me. Especially after I found out that the family of five I was teaching in Goianis got baptized. grrrrrr. This next month will be better.
Also, found out that my comp from the MTC, Elder Bagely, got ran over by a train in Vitoria, and got his leg amputated... bummer.
One of our zone leaders went home the other day because the guilt of what he´d done before the mission was getting to him. oh well.
Wow, what a happy email eh?
Moving on. I´m down to single digit weeks now, did ya know that? I do.
It seems like things are coming together nicely for this next month, we´ve found quite a few people that are awesome and moving along easily, I think we can reach 6 this month. We´ll see how it goes.
I was thinking the other day about Josh, and I decided to put together a CD of music that describes the mission from start to finish, I recommend finding this music and making a real CD. Here goes:
1. month before the mission: *live like you were dieing* Tim Mcgraw
2. first night in the MTC: *Lonely Day* System of a Down
3. On the plane heading to your mission *starlight* Muse
4. First Area *lose Youreself* Eminem
5. Worst comp (or your getsemani) *sound the Bugle* Brian Adams
6 Best comp ( or training) * you got a friend in me* Toystory
7. Making one year *feelin´good* muse
8. Being called as something else after being Zone Leader *Viva la Vida* Coldplay
9. Month before coming home *on a jetplane* John Denver
10. Night before coming home *insomnia* Dirty Heads
11. On the plane coming home *Coming to America* n/a
12. When all the investigators that didn´t wanna be baptized see the second coming *vindicated* Dashboard Confessionals
Hope you like it :D
Also, since my companion walks 5 feet behind me no matter where I go, I decided to make my own version of *the devil went down to georgia*
Well a pastor went down to Brasil
He was lookin for a soul to teach
He was way behind, so he was lookin to find
someone willing to let him preach
He came accross a young man reading the scriptures and reading them hot
so the pastor hopped up on the podium steps and said *boy let me tell you what
Now you read pretty good scripture boy, but give the pastor his due
I bet a bible of gold against your soul, cuz I think I´m better than you*
Well the boy said my name´s Elder Webber, and it might be a sin
but i take that bet you´re gonna regret cuz i´m the best that´s ever been
Well the pastor said * guess i´ll start fight off the fly*
and fire flew from his fingertips as he straightened up his tie
he thumbed his fingers through the pages and it made an evil hiss
and a band of demons joined in and it sounded somthing like this...
when the pastor finished elder Webber said, well you´re pretty good old son
now just sit down in that pew right there, and let me show you how it´s done
When elder Webber finished the pastor knew that he´d been beat,
and he laid that golden bible at the ground at Elder Webber´s feet
and Elder Webber said *Pastor, just come on back, if you ever wanna try again
cuz i told you once you son-of-a-gun, I´m the best that´s ever been.
LOVE YOU ALL!!!
ELDER WEBBER
