So this week not too much happened but it was really fun. I had splits
with the one Elder that said he was American but forgot English and
apparently I was just dumb and he is Brazilian but speaks some English.
However we had fun, we pretty much clapped at doors the whole day, but at
the end the bishop came with us to visit people. I thought it was
for one person, but after that person he was like, "lets go visit Janis and
Nilsi too" and I was like, "they live on the other side of the area, that's
like a 45 min walk." He was like, "we keep the word of wisdom, we will
walk and not faint." Then we like booked it and turned it into a 20
min. walk. Apparently he really had to use the bathroom too so we were
really booking it. However once we got there they weren't even home and
the bishop was like I still need to pee so he just straight up peed on
the side of the road. Then the other Elder with me was like, "Does your
bishop in Minnesota do this?" I was like, "No, I don't think he does," but now I have the image of Bishop Miller peeing on the side of a road
in my head and it's pretty funny.
On a side note everyone here doesn't
understand my sarcasm because my language is bad so that's a bad habit
that I need to get rid of because people keep taking my sarcastic
comments seriously.
This Saturday
we had a baptism planned for Fabio, but when the time came he never
showed up, which surprised me because he seemed super excited about it. When we visited him the next day, apparently his dad wouldn't let him
get baptized because his dad hates religion so we told him to bear his
testimony to his dad and tell him why he wanted to be baptized so
hopefully that goes well. This whole thing surprised me because Fabio
is 24 and I was kind of like, "Your dad doesn't let you make your own
choices?" But I didn't actually say that. We also had our first Zone
conference which was fun because there were other Americans so I spoke
lots of English, which was probably bad for me, but it was really nice to
speak English again. It was fun, we ate lots of food and I saw my
companions from the CTM again. We watched a video about President
Monson but it was in Portuguese so I didn't understand anything. Also
one house we went to they were watching a movie and it was in the other
room, but I knew it was Doctor Strange from the soundtrack so I was
pretty proud of myself for that one. Love you guys, keep having fun, and
stay safe.
