Anyways.
This week was very unproductive. We had our meeting with
Presidente Canuto on Thursday, but because of the location, we left on
Wednesday after lunch, and got back on Friday night. So we basically lost 3
days of work in our own area. Kind of annoying, but oh well. Fazer o que, neh?
But we found a really cool family this week, in spite of our lack of work. The
dad, whose name is Eneias, seems to be the most interested, which is really
good! It's hard to find men who are really willing to listen to the message we
have. But he has his wife and two daughters who live with him, and we'll start
teaching them now. We've only taught the first lesson so far, but should be
great!
On Friday, there was a huge party that started in São João
da Boa Vista. It's called EAPIC. And it doesn't end until next Sunday. It is
terribly hard for us to work when everyone and their uncle is at this party.
Which is not in our area, so we can't even go to it! (that was a joke, by the
way) So we just keep knocking doors while people are at this party, and we
don't have much success. The members have all told us that this whole week will
be very difficult. And we saw a little bit of it this weekend, when we tried to
knock doors a bit. No one was home. And if they were home, they were watching
soccer and didn't want to talk to two gringos who talk a lot about God. Oh
well, just gotta keep working and find those eleitos!
So this transfer is only 4 weeks, right? Turns out that the
next one is only 5 instead of 6. Which means one more week that I would be
coming home early. But now they're talking about adding in an emergency
transfer in the middle of that transfer so that we would get home on the 3rd of
December again. But they haven't decided anything yet. So as of now, I could be
home anywhere between the 11th of November, and 23rd of December. I guess we'll
find out soon!
Sending a picture from up at the top of the mountain today!
Love you all! Have a great week!
