Hello!
This week was pretty good. We had a little activity called "White
Saturday," which is when you have all the missionaries of the zone (6
duplas here) baptize in the same chapel. We 10 baptisms in total. My
companion and I only baptized one person, and we
didn´t have a confirmed baptism until the day of, so we were running
backwards a little this week. At the baptism, we sang that primary song
"quando eu for batizado" (when I am baptized, but I´m not sure if that´s
the title in English) and "que manhã maravilhosa"
(that marvelous morning, again I forgot the name in English). It was
really cool. President and Sister Scisci were there, and sister Scisci
said she cried while hearing it. How spiritual are we, nè? (probably not
so much) Anyways, that´s about it for this
week, unfortunately. Oh, some exciting news! My companion hit his 1
year mark! Wooohooo! Me next! Me next! Me next!.... continuing on.
Interesting news to hear that someone was called to a 3 year
mission. A few months ago, one of my companions asked me if I would
serve a 3 year mission if I were called. It´s a tough decision, but I
think I would. And that´s even more interesting that
he got to call President Monson´s office. Hrmmmmmmm.... Nate´s costume
is pretty awesome, but I´m drawing a blank on Macklemoore, too. Hey!
Give me updates every week about the jazz games por favor! Egua! Only one
more season and the first few games of the
next and it´s all over for me. Scary.
Q&A
Dad wants to know if you are teaching anyone or have any investigators?
Yes we are teaching people. "Nothing happens in the missionary work
until you find people to teach," and I´m definitely not doing nothing,
although I have heard that many missionaries are
slacking off. FUBEKAS! We taught 2 people who have gone to the church a
number of times, but we just found out at church yesterday that they
aren´t members. And they both accepted a baptismal date this Saturday,
which is really exciting.
Do you have an oven, microwave or both? and a stove!
Are there any little bakeries in your area and if so, do you ever go to them? yes there are, but rarely do I buy from them.
Andy has asked me a couple of times if you have gotten his e-mails --
can you reply to him when you get one, just so he knows it went through?
Yeah I received an e-mail from him a week or 2 ago, don´t remember very
well. Sorry I forgot to mention that. It was
great to hear from him and that he and everyone else is doing well.
Have you been out to eat at any restaurants in your new area and if so,
what kind of restaurant was it? There are a lot of churrascarias here
(BBQ), and I´m loving it. But we don´t there too often.
Do you have a washer and dryer where you are now? Just a washer, but we
don´t need dryers here. I don´t think anyone in the state of Pará uses a
dryer.
Any packages or letters this past week and if so, who from? Nothing yet,
but it´s almost Christmas, já, and I´m as excited as relampago!....
Well that´s all for this week. I´m feeling a little too lazy to search
pics to send him because it´s completely out of order and I don´t know
what I´ve already sent home, but next week, first thing I´ll do is send
about a bajillion pics home, tá? tá! I love
you all and am glad that you are all safe, and that he hurricane hasn´t
hit Utah yet! Have a great week and forget about
MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!e!E1E11E!E1E1!e1!
Love Elder Williams
