4 Feb 2013

Well Family! It has been another great week in the paradise we call Bahia. Haha this place is so crazy.

So the best news is that we had a crazy busy week but it ended with the Baptism of Raildo. Haha he has to be the most humble and meek man i have ever met. He struggles with a lot of physical health problems but is one of those people that is happy and never ever complains about anything. He is just so calm and awesome! haha Usually we need to help people come to church and find their way and all. But he has come the last 3 weeks all by himself. He even has trouble walking but he mosied his way over to the river Saturday for his baptism and over to the church Sunday for his confirmation. What a stud.

Buerarema is still the biggest adventure ever. Haha we had a wonderful headache this week however, we moved out of that garage we were living in and will be moving into a house on Wednesday! Saweet! The mosquito's were killing us in the garage so we cracked and went searching for a house after receiving the ´ok´ from president Andrezzo. haha So since we moved out we stashed all our stuff from Buera in the new house while they fix up some things and we´ve been living in São Caetano, in Itabuna. Yeah! Haha life is great!

 So other than the baptism of Raildo and the looking for our sweet house/apartment the week was the week of transfers. We have two elders training in the zone and 1 sister. It is fun to see new missionaries. We are also having a lot of success in the zone, lots of companionship's are baptizing this last week and this next one. Woo hoo!

I don´t think i told this story yet... We were snacking at a lanchonete here in Buerarema the other night and all of the sudden something came out of no where and hit my shoulder. I thought it was a small bird because a wing hit my ear. when i brushed it off with my hand it ended up being a giant grasshopper, the kind that are slightly less size than my hand spread out wide. haha the freakin' giant grasshoppers come out at night and we see them running into everything. Buildings and cars and anything. They probably don´t see very well. But it was funny to get one to the shoulder.

Tonight we are going to council in Salvador. So tonight, Elder Malloy and i will get a bus at almost 11 and ride all night there. But it means that our meals tomorrow will be incredible :) haha President and Sister Andrezzo are the best.

Love you guys so much. Peace out from Bahia!
