Yep its transfers week again! and guess what! for the fourth transfer in a row i´m staying in Siqueira Campos!!! woo hoo!!! however elder Gross is leaving me. =( he´s heading out to alagoas somewhere. so i´m not sure who it will be but i´ll have a new companion in the next week.
So this week was kinda interesting. because we had to trade houses. we found a way better house for like 30 more bucks a month so we went through all the contracts and paper work to move into that house. (with the church being perfectly organized... thats a lot of contracts and paper work...) so even though i wasnt transfered i got a new house. =) and i´m not going to lie i´m super happy to have left that old house. =)
with the move we were not able to work much this week cause we were getting a lot of junk resolved to close the last contract. sadly this means that we will have to paint the entire house. the church has a great policy to leave it better then you found it... which means probably for the next week every morning we will be heading out there to paint... Just like working at windsor... oh boy...
This week we also had a baptism. Her name was Magna. she was a woman who had been going to church for a really long time. and she always wanted to be baptized. sadly she wasnt able to for a really long time because her husband didnt really want to get married. one day me and elder gross went there and started talking about how it really was a comandment of god and how living outside of those bounds set by god was a sin. he understood and decided that they should marry. he didnt really want to get baptized cause he isnt much of a churchy guy but he respects god and his comandments. so last week they were married finally and Magna was finally able to be baptized.
so yep the week was good. i´m going to head out and get some lunch here soon with the other elders so i´m going to have to cut it right here. but i love you guys! Oh!!! just remembered! I got the package last tuesday and we´ve already eaten all of it exept for the peanut butter and the honey. =) thanks so much! i´ll talk to you next week! buh bye now!!!
