That sounds like a fun Thanksgiving! Thats no fun that the oven
stopped working though,so wednesday there will be a new oven in the
house! Thats cool! How is getting all the mission papers in for Tom
going? Everything getting in on time? Is it hard to get in to india or
is it pretty easy? I don´t know. Brasil seems to be pretty easy if you
are not a missionary. Wow you are already getting more and more
snow! Thats seems like its going to be a lot of snow coming your way.
Thats cool the 2 new parakeets. So Sam will take care of them while Tom
is off on his mission. That will be prettyfun for tom and Sam.
This week was pretty difficult here. Monday was pretty normal,
Tuesday was a zone training which was pretty cool. The Zone Leaders
talked a lot about what Elder Adiukatis taught the mission and
reemphasized a lot of it as well. Itwas pretty good. The rest of
Tuesday was spent in exchanges with the Zone Leaders in their area
helping them get everything ready for their trip to Maués. They left
tuesday night at 11:20
and spent 13 hours on the ship to get to the city. This week was the
week when everything fell through. It was a little bt frustrating at
times, but it went okay. We´ve managed to find some new people to begin
teaching. The man who moved into our house monday did a barbeque for us
that was super good, and Wednesday we got to teach him and his wife for
the first time. They seemed to heave some interest in our message and
had lots of questions. That was pretty cool. We´ve also managed to
start teaching a family of 7th day adventists that have some interest in
our message as well. Thursday was our Brasilisan Thanksgiving. My
companion and I got the pancake mixes and made pancakes for
Thanksgiving. We don´t have maple syrup here so we put butter and whats
called milk sweet on top of them and it was super good. Brasilians
don´t celebrate Thanksgiving so thats what we did! We also have started
teaching a family that we found looking for another family´s house.
They listened to us talk about the Restoration and they seemed to be
interested, but weren´t able to go to church Sunday, but they said that next week they will go. We are excited for them. Sunday at night we got a phone call at 6:50
asking us if we could go to the hospital and give a priesthood blessing
for a member who had been hospitalized earlier that day. We were able
to walk across town (here you can walk across the entire city in an hour
and a half max) and give her a blessing. She´d been feeling pain in
her chest and had to be hospitalized, but when we got there she was
starting to feel a little bit better. Everything will turn out alright
with her. It was an interesting week.
Hope that you all have a great week! I got two of the packages! Thanks! I miss all of you! Have an awesome week!
Love
Elder Battraw
