Hey Everybody!!!
I only have 25 minutes to write this email
because I was trying to send pictures at the same time. I gotta figure
out a better way to do that. It takes like a lifetime; I think it is
because I choose the camera with the worlds most highest definition. OH
well.
Anyways this week was pretty awesome. We laughed a ton, we worked
loads, and then just were awesome. ha ha we had the sedding of lourdes
and hamilton...don`t know if I have already told you about them. They
are the parents of my first baptism when I was here in Catú the first
time. and we helped them get married this weekend. They are the
bestest. I love it!!! we are going to baptise them hopefully next
week. They are going out of town this week so we have to wait
unfortunately.
Had interviews with president Hart this week. He is the coolest guy
ever!!! I went in and he was like well before you even ask, yes, yes
you and Sister Turner can stay together another transfer. I about
peed. Apparently he can read minds.....he is a swift one that President
Hart. Ha ha Sister Turner and I have been sending emails just about
every week talking about how much we love eachother and our area and how
we want to stay together another transfer. Ha ha it was real real
funny. he is the greatest. anyways transfers are in a week but now we
don`t even have to worry about it.
So it sounds like it hasn`t been a real cold winter there huh? well
it hasn`t been all that cold here either. I remember before the
mission I was all excited because Google told me that it was an average
of around 75 degrees here all year round.....LIES!!!! Never trustin
that lying cheating peice o´ junk Google again!!! ha ha it is like your
walking around on a frying pan all day and you can hear your skin
sizzling. Awesome. You are looking around with a desperate look on
your face just wanting to go into ANYONE´S house you are sooooo hott.
and your knocking doors or trying to find investigators at home. and
then someone gratiously lets you in and you sit down and you realise it
is a trick...... It is even hotter INSIDE!!! It is like you just walked
into an OVEN!!! they are slow baking you to feed you to the dogs in
the street a little later. It was actually cooler in the street with
the slight breese. But now you are sitting in this slow cooker where
the air doesn`t move. and you are trying to breath the air but it won`t
flow into your lungs because your body is trying to reject the million
degree thick stuff that is flowing around you....I can`t really call it
air because it is like trying to breath hott water. Oh My Word!!! is
all you can think and you are trying soooo hard to think in Portuguese
but all you can do is drink the boiling hott water that you have in your
backpack. and you just stare at these poor people with sweat literally
dripping off your face and they look at you like.....weirdo, why the
heck are you walking around out there? ha ha but then you share the
gospel with them and you feel the spirit and all I can say is "like a
fire is burning" has now become a literal term for me :) but it makes
all of the heat and the bug bites and the exhaustion worth it.
Anyways so that is what the weather is like here in Bahia.
Basically just hot. ha ha but I think after a couple months it will get
better. and I am counting my lucky stars because I will go home from
the bahian winter into the us summer and so I won`t really have to get
used to the cold right at first because I have basically morphed into
this weird being who feel a little chilly in the mornings before the sun
comes up....rediculous I know. But hey, we are dealing with some
pretty hott weather here.
I am sorry I feel like all I ever do is complain about the heat. I
am actually doing really really well. I love my mission. I love
bahia. I don`t even care if they are known as the most lazy people. I
love them. I love the heat just as much as I hate it. it makes me sooo
happy to be on a mission. I don`t know why I waited as long as I did
after turning 21 to come out here. This has to be the best thing
EVER!!!
I am sooo glad to hear all about you guys and that you are all doing
sooo well. I am sorry about the colds that are going around I hope you
all are feeling better soon. I love to hear about you guys and all
your adventures just as much as you guys like to hear about my silly
stories I am sure. Ha ha I EVEN like to get the updates of the cats at
home mom.....can you believe it?
I have not gotten any more packages since Amber`s sorry, maybe
something happened at the post office. Don`t know. I will try and see
if I can`t get ahold of someone at the office to send them at transfers
with my ZL´s. we shall see.
So sorry, but nothing super exciting happened this week. we ended
up running around like chickens with no heads for the wedding and trying
to get everything done in time for them and didn`t have the chance to
teach a whole lot but it was still a really good week.
I love you all soooo much I can`t wait to hear from you all next
week!!! HOpe you have an awesome week!!! Stay awesome!!! XOXOXOXOXOX
