Well, this week was absolutely monotonous. My companion had an
absolutely terrible case of Chicken-pox, He was prohibited from leaving
the house, and the other 3 were prohibited too, until we found out that
another young girl in the ward was the one that passed it to him. After
that the other two elders were freed, but I had to stay with him. I
stuck with him for 2 days, and then deciding that I was going stirr
crazy, went on divisions. Elder Souza (my companion) slept for 4 days
straight, except for 3 or 4 intervals where he would wake up, use the
bathroom, go to the kitchen, drink water, eat some beans and rice, and
then lay down again. Usually a grand total of 5 minutes per interval. It
was rough on him and it was rough on the patience of the house.
Instead of going crazy and fighting, we decided to make the goal of
just going nuts. We learned how to make chickens out of towels (photo
included) and opened up our own butchers shop with all of the towls and
blankets in the house folded into chickens. He also taught us how to
spin a toy top with string so fast that you can put it into your hand
and it'll keep spinning for over 3 minutes.... until the neighbors
underneath our appartment beat the floor with a broom and stuck their
heads outside of the windows and yelled at us to knock it off. REALLY
FUNNY.
Sunday
we had the incredible opportunity to watch the Osório District
Conference. President Wright (the mission president) had his son with
him, who just returned from his mission in Florida, and was visiting his
parents here in Brazil for 2 weeks. Well, the problem was that he
didn't speak a word of Portuguese, other than Obrigado and Tudo bem. So
guess who got to translate the entire conference! Yours truley. It was
my first time translating for an American - Usually I have to translate
for new american missionaries, but they've got a base of the vocabulary
and grammer. It was quite the experience. Also-We got to sing in the
District Choir, "Faith in every footstep" Which is an incredible song,
Absolutely love it.
Anyways, that's about it... The chicken-´pox is going away, so hopefully we can get out soon.
I don't think much else happened this week, anyways, I hope that all yall are living it up out wherever you are.
seja incrível,
Elder Eliason
