Monday
was pretty normal, just hung out around the house, cleaning it up. We
haven´t had too many problems here, the only real problems is that my
companions bed broke so this week we´re going to try and fix it! Tuesday
was supposed to be our district meeting, but when we got there, we
found out that the other companionship was going to be at a doctors
appointment and would be leaving shortly (one of the elders has
hemorrhoids). So we watched the district meeting of the other district
and then returned back to our area. Was a pretty good day, but a little
tiring. Wednesday
we came back to the chapel in downtown Porto Velho to have our district
meeting which was a lot of fun. We did a lot of role plays for door
approaches and was good practice, and we got to joke around a little bit
doing it! When we got back to our area, we caught the bus again to go
to the neighborhood Marcus Feireas to do visits there. Was really good
and found a whole bunch of people to talk to! Was a great time
there,but while we were there the power cut out for the whole town so we
got to catch the bus back in the dark! Thursday,
the elder with hemorrhoids went into the hospital for surgery, so we
spent a lot of the day calling back and forth to make sure everything
was going okay and walking. Porto Velho also declared a state of
emergency Thursday. The city is situated right on the river and Thursday,
it over flowed and began to flood Porto Velho. The problem is that it
will continue to keep on flooding the city until about April b/c it will
keep on raining. My area is on the opposite end of Porto Velho so we
won´t be affected, but the downtown area is going to be having some
issues soon. Friday,
I got to check a food off my list of things to try. Alligator. The
sister we were having lunch with brought out a small bowel of alligator
it a kind of sauce all chopped up and it was part of lunch. Tastes like
chicken. Saturday
we taught English Class in the morning, but this was really fun, we
taught the class how to order from McDonalds. We put up all the
necessary phrases up on the board, and then they had to approach us and
place an order. At the end, my companion and I showed them what it was
like when people speak fluent English. Kinda of funny! Saturday,
I spent the day in transit b/c we went downtown to do an exchange with
the companionship who had surgery, and then left downtown to go their
area, got to their area about 5pm,
worked for about 2 hours, and then had to make the return trip
downtown, trade back companions, and then come back home. About 3-4
hours of sitting on the bus. Sunday
was normal though, visited families after church until it was time to
head back home. Really good week! This next week will be transfers and
I´m really hoping that I stay with my companion b/c hes pretty awesome.
That was my week this week! Have a great week this week! Happy Late Valentines Day! Miss you all!
Love
Elder Battraw
