It́s raining in Coopaha¡dio. ( coop-uh-ha-jew)


Elder Munaro and I have been teaching constantly, this week alone we had 24
lessons and found 18 new investigators. We even walked out to the limits of
our area to do it. We had to take a path through the jungle, it was like
exploring. But then it opened up to be a neighborhood so it wasn’t anything
like going and teaching people in huts. LOL. We have 3 baptisms lined up for
the 27th Edilson, Olinda, and Gisa. And we are hoping to have a family ready
soon; the only problem is that Vander, the father, is a firefighter and is
always working. But they have come to church a couple of times and have made
friends with the members, so I hope Sania and Vander can be baptized too.
So last week the e-mail was about the sun and how hot it is and how there
was no rain, well this week it rained every single day. Lol, How weird to
have a whole week of blistering hot sun, and then a week of absolute rain.
Elder Munaro likes both he tells me that those are the two things that
promise you to have a more beautiful wife when you get back, rain and hot
sun. LOL. Missionaries are strange. Speak of the devil it just stated raining
again…
So if it is going to be to much just forget about the sun screen I am tan
now. It costs 25 dollars 50 real to buy a small hand held sized tube of sun
block which is like the knock off lower quality stuff. It’s ridiculous. But
I decided I don’t really need it so I might just buck up and pay the 25
bucks for a baby tube.
It’s funny that you are counting your time by semesters of college now. That
means that you are becoming a real college student again. I guess I’ve
started to count my time by transfers, I’m becoming a real missionary.
So now to answer some of your very many questions, We haven’t found out
exactly what is going on with the calling thing, but you will need to call
me at our chapel. And we will find out the number and time this week and
’
I will send it to you on next Monday.
As for what are we eating …
Lots of rice and beans… We have lunch at the homes of members. It’s
like our dinner appointments, except that here the main meal is lunch. I
had this stuff that was raw ground beef with grits and vegetables one time
and it did not taste bad it just was the fact that it was raw that made it
not so appealing to me. I forget the name of it. But that was at the house of
a member who is American and served here in Coopahádio too and met a girl
and he came back and they are getting married now. Interesting huh? But
there is almost everything here in the super markets that they have there so
send me some good recopies. Send some recipes for Christmas deserts. I want
some pie.
I don’t think I will need to get money out of my account very soon because I
have one for the mission at HBSC an international bank so there is not much
need for it. If I try to use my card here it will work but it charges a fee
like 8 bucks every time I use it..
I love you very much and I hope you have a great week.
