Monday: I found out that i wasnt leaving until tuesday at 5:00 and so I spent the day packing and saying bye. I was really touched by Sister Ester who told me about the impact me and Elder Nunes had made on the life of her son since her husband (theyre separated) never did anything to help with him. Her son was enos the boy who we got to read all of the book of mormon by the end of the transfer. She was crying as she told us and I was really touched. I had given her a pair of pants to mend since the sewing job was beyond my ablilties (it needed a patch). She gave me back the pants along with two other pairs of pants which I was really touched by and really happy about because this week three of my four pants ripped and ill need to get them fixed and with this fifth pair (i left the 6th in Acre for elder nunes to send to me) I was able to have a pair of pants to use. I packed until 12:30 that night and got up at 2 to go to the airport at 3.
Tuesday:
I arrived in Manaus and it was wonderful. I was able to see my old friend Elder Shepherd and some other people before arriving in our area. My house is huge and we live with another companship of missionaries. We even have a really nice barbecue on the second story of our house :) I got to know the area and some of our investigators there. It was wonderful truly it was.
Wenesday:
It was a normal day of work. My area has a bunch of hills. Like alot of hills. I cover Cidade de Deus and also Mount Sião (the city of god and mount zion). It was a good day.
Thursday:
We continued working. My companions name is elder candido and hes from Londrina Parana. He is super cool and super chill. I like him alot.
Friday:
Work (nothing too exciting happened this week).
Saturday:
We went to our first appointment for the morning and it was raining and so I was using my umbrella and a man ran up and stood under my umbrella with me which i thought was normal. He then tried taking my umbrella and I thought that he was just trying to hold it so I just ignored it and kept walking. So the man continues to follow us around and after a while I realized that he was on drugs. We ditched him under the eaves of a building and i was glad to do so.
This night we went to an investigators house and i was showing the wallet pictures that i walk with and a 14 year old girl saw the picture of andrew and didnt want to give it back to me. She was going to keep it. After a while i negociated with her and she finally gave it back. I am no longer going to let others hold pictures.
Sunday:
We got to church and went to fill up the baptismal font because we had a baptism and it was dirty because the water didnt drain out and so we cleaned it :) Then we had the baptism of a 12 year old boy named Rogerio who is an awesome kid. I really do like him.
Well that was my week, please continue praying for me
Love
Eric
