1- We have been
working overload to help people realise that this is the truth, and that
they need to own up, and become part of it. Well, We baptized again
this week, his name is Gabriel. He is 10, he is the little brother of
Criz, that was baptised last week, he too is the Great-grandson of
Euphrodinha. She, actually, XD, decided to count a story to us
yesterday about the first time that she saw snow, she was a new mother
and lived on the farm with her husband and her parents-in-law. She was
laughing her head off telling us about how her husband was running
around outside in his knickers trying to stop the cows from eating the
snow. Year: 1958
2- We found out last Tuesday that a woman in our
area is going to try to sue us. Yeah. That rocks our world a little
bit- here's the sitch: We baptized her grandson, but turns out that
he's 17, therefore of a minor age, so he has to have the permission of
his parents (according to the church), but he lives with his grandma,
but granny is SUPER CRAZY from the Assembly of God. (A very anti-mormon
church here in Passo Fundo) So she wouldn't give permission, so we gave
him the form to get signed by his dad who lives on the other side of the
city. So....he got it signed, we baptized him. whoopty doo.... but
the problem is that we learned afterwards, that "Dad" doesnt know how to
read or write....so, the signature was forged...appears, which puts us
in a pickle.... So, we asked our elders quorum presidente (who is a
lawyer) if really she could sue us. He took the situation, and laughed.
Turns out that the parental signature is actually a formality here in
Brazil, the kids have the right to choose their own religion....weird.
He said that the only person that could try to sue us would have to
have a VERY corrupt lawyer, and that even if the lawyer is super
corrupt, the judge will look at the case, and congratulate the kid on
being baptized and leave. Bahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!! So, after being
super stressed about this all week (I think I lost about a half head of
hair) I am feeling a great lightenment off my shoulders.
We have received the transfer-email, I will stay,
but...... my companion will be transferred, so, I will stay here in
PassoFundo :) yay. I love Passo Fundo, the culture is really strange but
great here. We are going to have p-day the entire day today :D (we
made our goal of 18 confirmations last month) how do we celebrate?
Family home evening!!!!!!!!! wooohooo!!!!!!! with brazilian hotdogs :)

anyways, the book is blue, the church is true.
take chances, make mistakes, and get messy!!!
