It rained. It rained. It poured. Cats and Dogs.
Did I say that it rained?
Well....because
of the fact that we are not allowed to watch the weather forcast, we
have no idea what the weather will be. There is a little blurb of a
forecast on the missionary home-website, but it said that the entire week
would be sunny and hot. -.- *deceived*
Every day started bright and sunny with little puffy
clouds in the distance. By the time that lunch ended, the clouds
started rolling in. By 4 o'clock every day, the rain started.
We were without umbrellas.....in that rain. My boots have
holes in the soles (where the sole has disappeared, dissolved, or
melted from so much walking), so any moisture instantly is absorbed into
my boot. yay. Thursday,
we were hiding from the rain under a slight outcropping in front of an
apartment complex, when the brown river (aka the road in front of us)
got REALLY SWOLLEN. As my companion and I were watching the water
levels rise, (over the course of 2 or 3 minutes) a very large car
passed by. They view us, and swerved at us.....to do what? to create a
GIANT WAVE that just drenched us head to toe. To be completely honest,
it didn't make a difference because we were already drenched, but it's
the principle.... XP
Our baptism for this week fell through, Sunday
morning, he woke up throwing up....so we were slightly disanimated,
but.....as we were greeting people in front of the church, a grandma and
2 grandsons came up to us, I only recognized one of them, I had seen
him once before in the other ward....He introduced himself a Anderson.
Well...he returned from the Brazilian army 1 month ago, and his family
had fallen inactive....His brother is 9 years old, and needed to be
baptized. *.* :D :D :D :D :D He had gone to church since his birth,
but because the family was inactive, he hadn't been baptized. We talked
to him for a bit, made sure that he was all squared away, he passed the
interview, and yesterday, his older brother baptized him. It was
awesome :D *Miracles* The kid's name is Artur.
Anyways,
We'll hopefully
have a couple more baptisms this week. We found a family where the mom
is inactive and she has two kids that are youth-aged. They liked the
church, so we marked their baptismal date for Sunday. I'm excited.
Anyways, I love you all, Mom, enjoy the Oregon weather. I'm highly jealous.
amo vocês,
Elder Eliason
