Hey people,
This week not much happened. We walked a lot but
nothing other than that happened. We started teaching the door man this
week that lets us into our rich gated apartment complex and he really
seemed to like it. We went to his house and taught his wife too, and
they both came to church and seemed to really really enjoy it a lot. We are going to go back and teach them this week. They are really fun.
Also I forgot to include this last week, but on the way back from Zone
conference these guys hopped on the bus and started playing flutes and
guitars. I was low key jamming and wanted to buy their album they
were selling, but I didn't have any money on me because I paid for the
bus.
Also this past week I have been holding onto the little flip
phone we have for our companionship. The first day we got a call and
the phone buzzed in my pocket and it scared me. I literally jumped
and my companion laughed at me. It was funny to see how much I have
adjusted to not having a phone in my pocket.
Also we went to a house
and they were watching like a small child TV show with there kid. My
companion started singing the songs so I learned them too; so now I know
Brazilian children's songs like "pocoto pocoto upa cavalinho" (not sure if
that's the name of the song, but it's a phrase).
Also today is the last P
day for an American Sister that is going home so yesterday we spent the
whole afternoon and night making coxinha which is by far my favorite
food here. I wrote down how to make it so I can make it when I get back
for people. It's super tasty I have included some pictures. But really
not much happened this week so sorry for the boring email. Next week
is transfers. I think I will stay in Augusto Monte Negro one or two more
transfers but we will see.
Love,
Elder Holcomb
PS oh and this morning something funny happened. The water in our house
wasn't working but Piris already used the bathroom and then he couldn't
flush it. Apparently there was an explosion so the whole
neighborhood doesn't have water and so we couldn't shower or brush our
teeth. It is quite an experience, but I thought that was funny. We
joked about taking a bath in the baptismal font but hopefully that
doesn't actually happen. I don't know when we will get water again but
hopefully by tonight.
