So I got really carried away with responding to people today. Sorry this is going to be a short email.
Met a really cool family that i 7th Day advantists. This is really hard becasue they have the bible memorized! For real! But after the first lesson the mother told us that normally they do not open their house to missionaries because they are taught that in church because they do not want members of their church to change religions. but I taught them about the Holy Ghost and my companion said that she almost cried and that the mother did too. Which is weird because I do not remember what I said.
We have another solid Investigator and he is the boyfriend of a recent convert. He is so excited to learn and I think that he will get batized soon! AND hopefully after a year they can go to the temple! AHH! I am so happy! he has a cool name too. Henrique! Henrique and Fabia! They are so cute together. But I am SO TRUNKY when I teach them! haha someday :)
One of the members in the ward, Duiji, served his mission in Colorado and we went over to his house and ate American food! BEST food I have eaten here yet! Hamburgers and apple pie! the pie was in the shape of the American Flag! it was legit! I have pictures!
I bought a new skirt! I LOVE it but I don't want to wear it because I want it to last until I go home! I LOVE THIS SKIRT! And it actually has a funny story. All of the missionaries in my house saw it and wanted it. I saw it first with my companion and showed it to her. And she was like ´´i am going to buy that skirt´´ But I SAW IT FIRST! But I was the only one with money so I bought it 2 days later and I dont think she was very happy about it, but It is a BEAUTIFUL SKIRT! And then I showed it to Sister Hernandez and she was going to buy it in the next couple of days! haha! its a beauty! I am glad that I did not wait too much longer. It would have been gone! :)
And our water is back! is was silly. somehow the water switch that is on our roof was shut off. Soooo... dont know how that happened. But that happened....we got it back on now :) AND I AM CLEAN AGAIN...well as clean as I can be in Brazil. I cannot wait for a shower in my own home!
And we had a party with a 3-year-old! It was his birthday and his mom is a recent convert! João! He is so cute! And next awesome thing is that I got my eyebrows done. But here they do not wax which is weird. But she did them by hand with tweezers. it hurt really bad but hey, Grandma B would be proud of me that I actually did it :) Or at least I hope she is :P HAHA! And on top of that a recent convert in my ward gave me some BRIGHT pink lipstick! So I will take a picture and add it to my next week email! BATOM ROSA!
Miss you all! Love Ya!
