Yep. i´m just as excited as you guys about mothers day. =) hope everyone can be there. =) can you believe that this is already my 3rd call? after this i´ll have only one more... weird...
So this week was pretty great. we had a bunch of cool stuff happening. me and my companion have been doing all we can to try and get all the members to start using Preach my Gospel. we went as far as to bake pizza for them for a night in the last week and after we fed them we Guilted them all into helping us out by giving a focus Personal Preach my Gospel Study. I hope it works out.
This last week we also had a special visiter for stake conference. He was from the seventy. in fact Elder Costa is like the head honcho for all of brazil. He came to speak at Stake conference together with President Gonzaga. He came to give the soon to be Elder Gonzaga (of the seventy) a chance to speak and let the world no his name. (I hope I told you but President gonzaga was called to be a seventy.) So we had quite a bit of high up authority in our stake center.
funny story about this whole thing. While Elder Costa was speaking he asked to see a raise of hands from all the elders and sisters in the ward. then he asks me and my companion to come up front so he could do a demonstration with one of us. nervous as heck to go up and be at the side of the President of Brazil pretty much. I realize that I hadnt Shaved in two whole days. For a Missionary that is a lot a freaking facial hair. wanting to hide my face From the general authority and president gonzaga, I go up with my head down a little bit. And some how end up at right in front of him where he can absolutly see that I was slightly lazy the last two mornings. he grabs my companion to do the demonstration and then I have to sit down next to the seemingly peircing eyes of president and sister Gonzaga. at this point i´m sure i´m all sorts of red. thankfully he calls president to do part of the demonstration too. at the end of it all he dismisses us and I practically sprint to get back to the safety of my seat. OH... MY... GOSH!
thats is the last time I forget to shave in the morning on the mission.
Stupid Tab Button...
yep thats what happens when you are trying to type fast. but i´m wraping it up anyway. That was certainly an experiance that is going in the books.
but hey hope all is well at home. i´m going good here too. Love you all! till sunday!!! buh bye now!
