So this week!
Monday and Tuesday and Wenesday were fairly normal and so lets just skip to Thursday
Thursday
We went to the chapel that night and taught some rapazes (young teenage men) who go to the chapel to play soccer. It was good and we were able to get some new people to teach from this.
Friday
We had a special training conference and so we went to the mission headquarters and recieved it. It was on obedience and a variety of other things ( i dont remember all of it). But I was able to get to know my new zone leaders better. That night we went to the chapel for a ward activity, and they asked me to think of a game for them to play, so I taught them how to play Nefita Nefita Lamanita! Nephite Nephite Lamanite. It was fun, but rather hard to play for me when I was wearing big bulky shoes.
Saturday
We were walking back from Lunch at a restaurant and a drunk guy stopped me and my companion and asked for me companion to give him some of the soda that we were carrying (we had a 2 liter bottle of fanta that we had bought for our drink). The funny thing was that the cup that he had was already full with water and so he put just a little bit of fanta in til it reached the top. I thought it was funny.
Sunday
So the worst thing that could have happened Sunday morning did. Yes it rained. And hard. Because of this people who commited to go to church were either sleeping or didnt go because it was raining. On the bright side though that night we had two young adult men and a priest go out with us to teach people. Which was good.
Oh and on Sunday I gave a talk! My first ever in Sacrament meeting here. It was on missionary work, which was fun to talk about. But it was good, I recieved help when I was doing planning it Saturday. As I prepared, I had the outline just flow out and become a talk which I was grateful for. Heavenly Father definitely blessed me. I think i was more nervous giving a talk in English back home than I was giving one in broken portuguese here, Heavenly Father definitely strengthened me.
Thats all I can really think of for today, please keep me in your prayers and continue to write letters,
Love,
Eric
