Hello one and all, the week has been pretty short this time because we traded our P-day last week to go to the temple, so it was a 5-day week more or less :). It was all pretty good up until recently but I´ll get into that later. So it´s still pretty freaking hot here and I can only imagine how bad it is for those poor missionaries up in the north where it has to be more like an oven than a mission. They must be dying up there so close to the equator!
So Tuesday was temple day like I said which was amazing! We went and did a session there and enjoyed it a lot and spent most of the day traveling. We got home and got some more of those monster fries which always are good to eat but make you feel horrible the next day. Always a good time! With us 4 hugery Americans we pounded them down in 12 minutes or so, ha ha. SO good!
The next day it was back to work as normal and I really am forgetting most of what happened that day, something like working out in the sun just like amost every day, ha ha.
Turkey day was good, you´ll never guess how we celebrated... we went and got our favorite french fry mess again, ha ha. It really is our little go-to eat and celebrate. We also vistied our good friends/ baptismal dates or Claudia and Pedro and had cevada with them. I forgot if I explained what that stuff is so I´ll tell you again. It´s this coffee stuff that isn't really coffee. Tastes the same, smells the same and even looks the same, after you add the water. It´s also not against the word of wisdom, so we use it to help people get over their coffee addictions. I still think it tastes horrible but whatever helps people get baptized :).
Friday we had zone conference which was pretty good. We just talked about area books and stuff, nothing really mind blowing, just the normal. We had to carry some boxes full of Book of Mormon's though and so I took it for most of the way which was a bit of a pain but all turned out well. I think I won some brownie points with the ZL´s, ha ha.
Saturday was pretty good, we had brazillian bbq for lunch which is always awesome. We had it with this awesome family, Kinnis and his wife, whose name escapes me. We watched the `He is the Gift` video for the first time which I´ll tell you all about later. It´s pretty cool.
Okay, so the reason this week was good until recently. We had lunch with our RC, Zelia, which was some more brazilian bbq! Great right!? It tasted pretty great and we chowed down, and about 30 mins later we regeted that. Turns out the meat wasn´t so good... We both just bolted for home and died on our beds, ha ha. I´m still feeling pretty nasty but not too bad really. It´s only like the 50th time I´ve had food poisoning on the mission, so it´s nothing by now, ha ha. I´m alive and will live on so all will be well :).
So, for this `He is the Present´ buisness. It´s a new campaign launched by the church to spread the message of Christmas, about how Christ is the present of Chistmas really. It´s a very short video, only about 2:25. Watch it, share it, and use the hashtag #sharethepresent (I think that´s it in english, haha). We want this video EVERYWHERE. The church has bought up space on Youtube and Times Square and tons of other places to try and make this a success, so let´s all help out!
Have a good week everyone! God Bless,
