This week nothing too interesting happened but we worked a lot. The 24th is stake conference so we weren't allowed to have baptisms the Saturday before because they wouldn't be able to be confirmed the following Sunday so we ended up asking everyone we have with a goal to be baptized to move their goal to this week. Everyone was pumped too so now we are going to have 6 people baptized this week! So that is sweet and we look like super good missionaries to everybody so that is pretty funny. This week we taught a lot of people with Mateus, the 18 year old chemistry student Elder Geremias and I baptized, and it has been super fun. He is great and everyone seems to like him, and his testimony about the church and baptism is super strong too, so it's nice to have people see the way the church has blessed his life. Other than that nothing too exciting has happened. My companion has some back pain so we have to go get X-rays for him. So I guess it's just a curse I have that all my companions need to visit the hospital for x-rays but other than that nothing too interesting happened. This week the world cup starts and I didn't know people could get so hyped. All the streets are decorated and have Brazil flags and banners hanging everywhere, and everything is green and yellow, it's sweet. President has allowed that we can watch the Brazil games because no work would be able to get done anyway during the games because if you try to interrupt someone during a Brazil game it is like almost a federal offense my companion said; and after everyone is too drunk to understand anything. So that should be fun. I am pumped to experience the World Cup in a place where people are actually going to get super hype. I already have all the groups written down and it will be fun to watch the cup. If I somehow get a new camera this week I will try to get pictures of all the decorated streets and fun stuff.
Love ,
Elder Holcomb
