This week was good. It´s hard to balance all our time-
Tuesday
after our district meeting, we went to lunch in a different city (still
in our area. It´s about 30 min. away by onibus) when we returned, we
taught the first lesson to a couple of women. It was a pretty good
lesson, except for the fact that we realized that they are lesbians and
live together. We will see where this goes... Then we stopped by Maicol,
the young man who WILL be baptized this week. Then we had our English
class. Oh, it´s hard. It´s hard when you don´t have any textbook, so you
try to use the English to Portuguese textbook you got in the MTC... I
would also like more time to prepare what we´re going to teach, but
alas, as a missionary, you don´t have any spare time.
Wednesday was awesome because we took away all the
coffee from the house of Maicol and his family. They allllll drink
coffee, but realize it is harmful and want to quit. So they let us take
it all away. We were so proud of them, so we made natural lime juice and
bought some coffee substitute for them. I think we have a good
relationship with this family. I´m super excited, because we are
planning on Maicol´s baptism for Friday,
when his brother (who lives in Campo Morão (my last area haha) live)
will be here with his family. The father, who is a part member, told us
that Maicol´s example to read and pray and continue to learn about this
church is really helping him and his family. This is what the gospel is
about! yay!!
We taught a member´s father this week, and it was a
really interesting lesson- he came to church the week before and during
priesthood, they read the book of Abraham. So naturally he wanted to
know about the Pearl of Great Price. However, he had never heard of
Joseph Smith before. And it was late, and we needed to leave soon. And
he is partially deaf, so we had to shout. It was difficult, because we
tried to teach a quick lesson about Joseph Smith to answer his
questions. WE have another appointment this week.
It´s been really rainy lately, and the dirt roads here (we have a lot) turn to mud. I will send pictures.
Also,
I think some bug lives beneath the piano in the church because after
choir practice, I had 30 bugbites on my legs.... ahhhhhhh! Oh well, I
will endure!!!
I love you all!!!
love,
Sister Eliason
