| Flooding in Brazil |
Well this week has been amazing!! We
started this week only getting 25 minutes to email last P-day but it was
alright because on Wednesday we had a huge blessing of being able to talk to
our families. It was amazing to get to talk to my family and both sets of
grandparents and Uncle Lane too. Haha but let’s back up a min. This week it
flooded SO BAD!! We had poop water again up to my thighs!!! We decided to hold
our shoes and walked in our sandals. Yeah super Nasty!!! You don’t look down
because you don’t wanna know what just brushed over your feet. On Christmas Eve
the water was the deepest. We were walking to give a present to a 6 year old but
we didn’t want to walk in the water so we decide to walk on a curb I the middle
of the street in sandals. We made it 3 quarters of the way down this street when
it happened. I roll my ankle and yep, you guessed it, I fell right in that poop
water. I hit my elbows on the curb and it really hurt but it was mostly just
DISGUSTING and the other 3 elders just stood there laughing at me. What an amazing
day! We ended up walking back to our apartment so I could get cleaned up.

The next day was almost perfect. We
ate lunch was with a lady and then after that we got to email and Skype our
families. It was Amazing! A perfect Christmas Day!

| Gross!!! |
The next day was back to work as
usual. We had a District meeting and met some amazing people we are excited to
teach! One of these people is Elzeni. She is in her 30’s and has some amazing
questions about the church and wants to find the truth. She is married and has
a 6 yr old daughter. We will teach the daughter from the Book of Mormon Reader.
Friday we had our first lesson with
Marcos!! He went to church 2 weeks ago and has sent us messages every day since
with his testimony in every single one. He is the most prepared person I have
ever met in my life! He reads and studies every night and wants baptized. He
and his girlfriend aren’t married but he is working on everything he needs to
do to get married. He says he needs baptism in the True church. He is
amazing!!! We also taught his daughter who is 10 and wants baptism as well and
Marcos is letting her. We will have a baptism service on the 11th of January for
her.
Yesterday was nuts. We ran into 2
drunks who were very WEIRD! The first one prayed for us and then yelled at my
companion when his eyes weren’t closed! He then gave me a hug and blew us
kisses as we walked away. We met the other one while we were walking home last
night and she wanted to speak English and tried to drag me into his house...
FREAKY! We also were trying to get to an investigators home and we walked
through some kids dealing drugs. We know we were blessed that nothing happened
to us.

| Killer Millipede |
The next adventure happened last night
when I was taking a shower. A millipede or centipede came up out of the shower drain.
From what I understand they are very poisonous here. I grabbed my towel and ran
out of the bathroom to get a broom to kill it. He looked like he was from King
Kong, HUGE!! I’ll be honest, it really freaked me out!
This morning we made biscuits and
gravy with hash browns and eggs. It was
so good and reminded me of home. I love you all and can’t wait to hear from
you!!!!
