That sounds like a fun birthday! Cake and pizza
always works out pretty well. Here the pizza is a little bit
different, doesn´t have tomato sauce and is covered in vegtables, like
corn and tomatoes and olives. Cake is more like really sweet cornbread
here those this week I did get to try cupo açou cake (ask Brother
Lopez) and it was super good! Misato got her mission call! Super
exciting! Sacramento California, super excited for her! Do you know
when she will leave? Hopefully the house will come through. It looks
like a pretty good house to have and is still really close to the
chapel. We´ve been doing some house business this week as well but I´ll
write about that later. You´re getting married! Thats exciting. Its a
little weird to think that you´re getting married but okay! Congrats!
Super excited! Ross is coming home in a month! Probably they´ll go to
Manaus which is an hour away from my area by plane so probably no, I
won´t be close to them.
This week was a little different as well. Monday was the normal pday until about 6pm.
The assistents called and said that the elders of Teixarão would be
transferred to Manaus and that I was going to recieve my companion that Saturday,
elder Acchura from Bolivia. So the next day i went to Mamore, which is
in the South Zone of Porto Velho. I stayed there doing visits with the
elders there and it was pretty awesome. That night we got to cross a
river in the middle of the night that only had a plank of wood that went
out into the middle and then had another that went to the other side as
well. Pretty interesting to do when you don´t have a lot of light to
be able to cross. That night I got another phone call from the
assistents saying that Wednesday I was to return to my area 6pm and wait there for my companion to arrive. So Wednesday was packing up my backup with my stuff and returning back to my area. Got there about 6:15 and found out that President Klein was actually coming as well to drop off my companion as well. 8:40
they got to our house with Sister Klein and one of the assistents along
with my companion. Pres. Klein took a brief look at the house and told
us that we needed to repaint the house so you can guess what we did
almost all of Thursday. Buying paint and painting. We´re still not done yet, but its getting close. It looks way better now. Friday
we finally got to leave the house and we did some visits with some of
our investigators along with showing my companion the area. Hes pretty
cool, but its kinda of funny b/c hes super short and I´m kinda of tall.
We had the elders from Ariquemes stay in our house that night b/c we
had the Zone Conference the next day. Woke up Saturday
super early to go to the Conference which lasted from 8-11. President
and Sister Klein were both there and we got to learn a lot about how to
use the My Family pamphlets and how to use them with recent converts.
That night was also Stake Conference which was super cool. We had a
funny experience happen with my companion as well that day. One of the
American elders that was staying with us recieved a package that was
full of packing peanuts along with candy and the such. My companion who
had never seen packing peanuts like these thought that they were candy
and snagged one and took a bite out of it and promptly spit it back out.
Really funny!! Sunday
was pretty normal . One of the families that we´ve been teaching is
getting ready to be baptized and we´re super excited for them! Pretty
crazy week!
