Pérola 15
Hello People,
This week was fun. Everything pretty much got back to normal from [since] the transfer and the energy [electricity] returning. Last week our ward got a return missionary, so throughout the week he was always wanting to give us references and leave to work with us so that was fun. He also has a car so that was a big help so we didn't have to walk everywhere. Diego's mom came to church and [so did] another girl we were teaching throughout the week. The girl has a super strong desire to get baptized so we planned with the bishop and she will get baptized during the youth retreat the stake will have next week during Carnaval, so that should be super fun and cool. There is also another lady we are teaching who lives with her daughter and son-in-law that are members of the church and she also really like the messages. Me and my companion are super pumped to continue working in the area. We had a good meeting with our ward mission leader and we have lots of good plans to continue integrating the members into missionary work! I don't know how many people heard that I can do skype calls and text with my family every week now, but I will still try to write an email every week to continue with the blog until the end of the mission!
Love,
Elder Holcomb
Isaac video called us from his Bishop's house since they are now allowed to call. It was great to get to talk to him. Mostly he joked around with his brothers and wanted updates on the video games they are playing, as well as telling us pretty much the same things he wrote. He also said Elder Bell is giving him a hard time to figure out what he's going to do with his life because...girls like a man with a plan; and then asked if we know what qualifications he needs to become a garbage man "remember when I wanted to grow up to be a garbage man?" yep we do. Isaac also mentioned he's parting his hair now and he calls it "the Brian." He was at someone's house and the little kids were combing his hair over and over and lots of people told him they liked it better that way so he's wearing it that way now. He says people tell him he is even better looking and looks more serious instead of crazy X-D He also slipped into Portuguese once until we must have looked completely confused. Isaac is planning on sending emails every week and will probably use Google chat too. The internet café he goes to doesn't have video options and he doesn't have international phone calling options or ipads like some missions. He also does not want to disrupt his Bishop's personal life by going there to call every week. So for us even with the new rules, we will be about the same except he can call if he needs to. It's nice to have the option available even if you don't use it every week.
