Well as you can see by
the title we have a baptism scheduled for this week! It is a middle aged women
who found the gospel and knows the church is true. So we will see if that works
out! The baptism is scheduled for Friday, so I'll let you guys know next week!
David’s visit was not great. He didn’t even try to ask his dad about being
baptized. Raquel has a batismo date! But we probably won’t be able to do it
this transfer. She is leaving on Saturday and won’t be back until the 8th of
Feb. Andre is trying to quit smoking... Not having too much success. Our 2
investigators aren't really progressing. They are having hard time keeping
commitments. So we are trying to express to them how important they are. I'll
let you know how that goes!
So about transfers: We
get the call on the 30th. The next transfer starts one the 2nd. They call you
on the 30th with the new assignments, and then you travel, if necessary. We
start packing and usually you start traveling the next Monday.
As far as the water
situation from last week is, WE HAVE WATER AGAIN! Showering daily is happening
again. :) Thank goodness... I was dying everyday.... the stove we haven’t
gotten figured out because we still don’t have a phone yet. How do we get
transfer calls without a phone? EXACTLY! They claim to be sending one to us
today and should be here on Wednesday. The secretaries handle all of that. The
president knows, but he doesn’t deal with that.
It’s been POURING rain
for like the whole week. Well, the rain here isn’t like rain in the states. The
rain he is like pouring a bucket on you ALL the time. So Umbrellas don’t keep
you dry. Mine actually broke a bit... So we can’t do much when it rains like
that. The waterproof bag still gets pretty wet too, just because of the sheer
amount of water. My scriptures are kinda getting wet. I was gonna get some new
ones anyways because the MTC gave us the absolute cheapest. I want some with
the leather because they hold up better. A member is gonna go to the temple and
get them for me. I'll give them money to buy them. I will send you a picture of
the scripture cover I had made in the CTM, but it is for my English scriptures
so I don’t use it every day.
Everything ON me is
good. No pain, no soreness anymore in my toe, back, or feet. I think my back
was just sore from the bag. But it got stronger. I'm doing pushups like crazy.
;-) I also have a 6-pack now ;) As far as homesickness, that is getting better
too. I don't miss it as much because I can understand better. The language is
getting better. I don't have to ask Elder Badger NEARLY as much.
Other stuff, we had
Entrevistas com presidente da missão também. That was good. We had a good
doctrine ceonversation and about life as well. So that was good! Interviews are
15 minutes long. It's only longer if you have questions.
I received a card from
Mrs. Hunter and a card from Grandma George with some money. I appreciate it so
much! Unfortunately, American money here in our area and really anywhere
without an international airport is as good as firewood. The Visa gift card was
really helpful. I should get some more mail next transfer because we don’t have
another conference til then. I haven’t gotten any other packages or mail... I
haven’t gotten anything from Gram or the cereal you ordered. :( Or the guitar
picks mom sent. The cereal could come next transfer, because of the Christmas
season. I got mom's latest package with all the food and stuff, but that’s it
this transfer, other than letters.
Other stuff, Thats
about it.... Thanks for all the support these weeks It really means a lot.
Sorry its so short this week but not much happened here... Last week was a lot
more interesting then this one. Well, I love you guys and I hope you all have a
boa semana!
Com Amor, Elder George
