So, this week was fun. It was really
hot, and then it got really cold, and then it got really hot again. Fun
stuff, everybody is getting sick, because of the change in
temperatures. I ate mamão, (don't try and translate that one) Its just a
giant papaya. It is really good in smoothies.....Which I still make
almost every morning. We had a huge WAVE of rain last night, which was
really awesome because it was SWELTERING, and the rain makes it a lot
cooler here......I had to ask the Sisters (who live in the apartment
buliding on the side of our appartment building) if they had an extra
blanket.....I've been sleeping on the ground with a bed sheet for the
last month and a half, and because the temperature dropped so suddenly, I
got cold...and I know that the sisters had a ton of quilts and
blankets, so they gave me one..... I found out later that it was the
one that they would do exercises on....so it smells of "sister sweat"
and is covered in hair. Well...that was fun, we don't have dryers here,
so to wash it would take about a week to dry.....and I wanted to be
warm last night, so I slept with it like normal.....but had nightmares
the entire night about sisteres trying to kill me. It was very very
crazy.
This week we had the baptism of our great friends
Eufrodinha and her great-granddaughter, Cris. Eufrodinha, or vovozinha
as we call her, is about to celebrate her 86th birthday. She is almost
deaf, but we taught her anyways. Her great-granddaughter, Cris, is
awesome too, but I just have to say that I was VERY nervous that the
baptism of Eufrodinha would not go well (usually the water is ICE COLD)
but by some miracle, the water was very warm. It was on Saturday, which was VERY cold, the entire week was pushing 95 degrees, but Saturday
decided to hit 60 and rain. We were very worried that we would have to
confirm her in the temple.....hehehehe. oops... anyways. Besides this,
there wasn't tons that happened this week....we taught 26 lessons with
members this week...I think that is a new record for me...oh well. oh!!
Eulfrodinha is the oldest baptism that I have had yet, the closest to
her was Francisco (age 72) who will recieve the Preisthood this Sunday! :D
Anyways, Brittany, drinking Onion Juice is probably
the funniest thing that I have ever heard of as a joke for a greenie,...
we thought about doing the member change in Osorio, where our friend
(Marcelo) who looks 19 but is a married RM etc...2nd councilor in the
branch.... would grab his old name-tag and meet the greenie at the buss
station, take him down to the apartment building (2 blocks away from the
bus station) where we would be hiding and tapeing when his wife (she
looks very young too) would come out and they would start making out.
Just to see how the greenie would react. But we decided better to just
pretend that they were all investigators and eat lunch. But....it would
be VERY funny anyways....
1 more week until the transfer day....so next
week, we'll know if I'll stay here in Passo Fundo, or if I'll be
transfered. Thanks for everything everybody :D
Love you all to the dust,
Elder Eliason
