18 March 2013


There goes another week. Gone! But some interesting things are happening. I am actually writing you all from Salvador today! We left Itabuna Sunday night to ride up to Salvador. We got all the way to Feira De Santana at about 6 in the morning and then our bus broke down. So by the time we got up to Salvador it was way later than we were supposed to arrive. It didn´t cause any problems. We went out to the airport where the federal police have a little station and i got my visa renewed without any problems. So i am in the country legally again! woo hoo! haha (I was legal, i just needed to finish this part and the church lost some of my papers. It is all good now). After getting all the missionaries paperwork done, a whole group of us went to a churrascaria, barbeque, place. And we ate too much, Haha it was great.

Things are going fine in my area. It is difficult but rewarding. We had a lot of investigators in church on Sunday but a lot of people we had hoped would go did not go. They even hid from us and avoided us to avoid going to church. I just don´t get people sometimes. Oh well. I am having fun and working really really hard with Elder Warner who continues to be really hilarious and fun.

This week we went on splits, I think on Saturday, and i went out with Raildo my recent convert. It was really funny. He is like 50 years old and passes the sacrament each week in his white shirt and tie. Well there were some pretty funny moments with him.

Things have been really good and normal for me. Time flies by really fast. And i can´t believe that this is my second to last transfer. I have the rest of this transfer and then i am on my last one! It will be good and i am working my hardest to be able to finish running harder than i started.
