Mom,
A hammock? They don’t
sell them in the states?
Life has been a
whole lot harder ever since i showed up in Maringá. we haven’t really gotten an
opportunity to start working, we moved houses and we haven’t had water or electricity
in the house for the last two weeks haha and that’s put us back. then pres. Tavares
said we have to leave the house cause they don’t know how long its gonna take
to get the water and light installed, he said it could be another 15 days which
is basically till the end of this transfer. So now were living on the other
side of the city in a house with 6 other elders. haha now we have 10 elders
living together in the same house. were gonna stay here till we get the water
and lights installed. Life’s gonna be bad cause we have to take the bus to get
to our area which is tons of money and time. All i know is its gonna take about
2 hours out of proselyting every day. Then Elder Morgan had to do his paperwork
to stay in brazil so Monday
and Tuesday i was in Londrina
doing nothing in the mision office while he was at the police station. Mercy on
my soul! All i did was basically hang out with the bros for two days straight.
This house im in right now though has 10
elders, its gonna be a party everynight haha. Today for p-day were gonna have a
barbeque. The house here is pretty awesome though. not much to say though cause
nothing special has had the opportunity to happen yet. Elder Morgan seems like he’s going crazy though
cause he wants to just have a regular mission for the first time in his life
but its not coming like that. Then again that is a regular mission haha.
We took this lady to church that is super firm
in her evangelical church. We taught her the restoration and she said, but if
the true church has to have 1 prophet and 12 apostles and the authority of the
priesthood then my church is false. Is my church false? i said ask God what he
thinks and follow what he says. She said no, tell me is my church false. i said
yes. she got really offended and then started saying that maybe shed come
to church but that we don’t need to go to her house and get her cause if she
goes she’s gonna go on her own, which basically means im not gonna go. She got
really offended by the whole "true church'' thing. so i said, " either we come and get you and you tell us
right now if you go or your not going with us tomorrow. she said she would go.
i don’t know what got into me though, i was really mad and there was no spirit
at all in the way i invited her to church, but she accepted the invite went to
church liked it and now she’s gonna be baptized this Sunday. Elder Morgan asked me why i got so mad at her, i don’t
know why, but it worked! basically me and Elder Morgan met 10 people that were gonna baptize
in the next 3 weeks but they didn’t go to church cause it was Easter and
everyone traveled, but these next 3 weeks fires gonna fall from the heavens!!!
