ok well i will quickly tell you about my week this week. it is pretty lame again! well for you guys. i thought it was pretty crazy. well first of all we had a division with elder swenson and elder lins. elder lins came here with me. he was my roommate in the ctm and is a brazillian obviously. we went and ate at this older ladys house. she lives forever away. she thinks that she has to feed us so much. she is a little crazy too haah with the food i mean. she makes tons. then she serves us! she will give me more food before i finish my first plate. i ate 4 plates!! next time i wont sit in the chair next to her haha.
on saturday we had an activity at the church. we were on the other side of the city in a place called pedro costa and the church is downtown. the ward missionaries called us and asked where we were. they decided to wait for us cuz there were only 15 people there. we RAN there!!!! it was like 5 miles and this city is only hills. it doesnt have a straight road in it. i was pretty sweaty when i got there. i thought i was playing basketball. it was crazy!! then we played a game there where someone says a name then the next person has to say the names previous and adds on a new name and then so on and so on. that is pretty difficult with portuguese names!! i got like 5th tho surprisingly! i got a few people out with american names. haha.
we had a family night on monday with irmã terezinha. it was pretty fun. we just had a quick message and then ate pizza. she made like 3 pizzas and they were pretty good for a brazillian pizza. not papa murphys tho haha.
so we got a new assistant to the president. which is crazy! the assistant thats been assistant for 11 months was moved to zone leader in our zone! crazy! Elder hillam was an assistant but is a zone leader now too. that was 2 months ago though. he and our now new assistant had 21 baptisms in the month of august! that is so much!! but our zone leader, elder nunes, will help our zone a lot i think!! i really hope so! i really miss have people to teach! it has been a while!
oh i passed off a whole bunch on my qualification to be a senior comp. i am not very close though. i probably wont make it. oh well. i think i learned more about the language this week than any other week. which is awesome!! it is coming way quick now!! i have started reading pregar meu evangelho(preach my gospel) from start to finish. i like it alot because i can understand it more than the scriptures. and i learn a ton! i should finish in the next 2 weeks or so.
well thats about it for my week! hows everything going there?? Happy Birthday Devan this week. hope you have a good one. see ya later
Love,
elder long
