Let it Rain!!!!!
So... yea... we had a lot of rain this week. I´m pretty sure that I kinda felt a little like the man who built his house upon the sand. He had no house and so he got a little wet... haha!
So this week was really cool! we had two baptisms this week actually! It was two little girls of members who were slightly separated from the church. they just didnt feel the will to attend church anymore. so we were able to find them and teach them. they remembered the differences that the church made in their lives and decieded to baptize their children too. It was a great expeirence. in all honesty, it was probably my favorite baptism thus far on the mission. just cause you could tell that the children, even though they didnt understand everything, they were very happy and knew that this was the right desicsion to be baptized. they didnt understand everything, but they understood the doctrine perfectly. they understood the plan of salvation, and what it meant, they understood what a prophet was and what the gospel was good for. it was really cool to see how even children can understand the gospel of christ.
this has been a great week too. we have quite a few people that we are teaching that are progressing really well. i´m not 100% sure all will be baptized but i´m sure that many of them will be. I´m hopeful for them.
So I have actually found a few things that I really like down here. they have a couple new fruits that i´m not sure they have there in the U.S. Maracaju, Graviola, Caju, and i´m sure a couple others too. my favorite is probably maracaju. Its pretty much fantastic. but it has a couple things in it that make you sleepy through out the day. so when we have it at lunch i cant drink too much of it otherwise i´m really dragging my wagon. plus they have this other thing they call terere. (teh-deh-day) its really good. you usually just buy a packet of like a koolaid thing, and then you mix it in with the terere mix. its like a bunch of herbs and stuff. its kinda like a tea but not really at all... its just great. you have to drink it in a certain type of cup though. otherwise youll be slurping down a bunch of plants too... its kinda weird but its really cool. so yea they have some really strange things and some really awesome things here.
So kev... Youre going to be all lonely now huh. I´ll talk with the mission president if he´ll let me take a three month break just for you... haha! =) maybe you could take the dogs down for a little while and have them puke all over your apartment. OR WAIT! better have max do it. he´ll be sure to find your pillow.
Well I think i best be off. I hope all is well at home. i´m doing well. I do have a few questions though. when does tanner leave on the mission? has he already gone. I remember he got the call to chili and i think i remember hereing that he had the farewell already. i could be wrong. so just let me know if he´s gone or not. if he´s already out i want his email. =) well thanks for all you do for me. I love the news from home. Mom i hope the fishing goes well. and dad I hope that india goes well. I understand if you cant get emails off while your their but i´d still like to hear about the football stuff too if you can keep track of it. sounds like Utah is really kicking trash... well everyone has their good years and there bad years and it turns out this one is probably going to be for the books for utah. anyway! till next week! bye!
