Hello again my fellow missionaries and parents and siblings and niece and two brother-in-laws. OH and friends and other relatives. LOL
YAY Christmas is coming up but it is still not here.
Here some answer to my daddy’s questions.
Camaçari:. Yes, I did mention it is flatter,. but it is also very hot and humid and maybe a little bit more tropical so can someone send me and air conditioner...lol. it would be nice (hehe) but way too spendy.
They do have a ward here but it is small. We are working on that trying to baptize but I run into a ton of people that are part of the "testimonies of Jehovah" They believe that Jehovah is the name of God, the Father and not the name of Jesus Christ. They also don't believe in fasting. Someone told me that they completely took out 21 of the verses of one chapter in Matthew in their version of the bible. I don’t know if they if there are other differences from the King James Version. I actually have one of their bibles. I am going to keep it and bring it home and show all of you it…although I guess you won’t get much out of it since it is in Portuguese!
My other area does not even have a branch yet. but it is close. They started having their meetings out there inside a school about three weeks before I was transferred here. We have a few people that we are teaching that we are going to baptize these next two Sundays. Cool huh?
Wow, when i was reading that last paragraph from my mother about there Christmas week, I got so trunky. Mom, if you don't know what that means just let me know. I will explain it to you in simple terms. lol. It’s ok if you know because I did not know when I first got here.
There are not very many Christmas lights up yet but the city has put up quite a few. Every lamp post is a star and there are quite a few in all the squares here. I say square as in like Temple Square or I could say park but some of them don't have playgrounds.
Today, for p-day some missionaries and some other members played soccer). Ii think I play better as a goalie than a runner so I havw a goal that by the time I go home, I will challenge Thomas to try his best to make a goal on me. Then I will let Eric Burdett know to keep practicing his skills of soccer during his mission.
DID you HEAR that Thomas? I just gave you a challenge. I don't think that you could make a goal on me when I get home. That is right, I said it almost to your face.
Speaking of what I need and of soccer: Ii need some better shoes to play soccer in. hint hint to anyone that wants to send me a birthday present…maybe! The shoes have to be stylish. So, let’s us see here, that means NOT from my little brothers and, no offense to you, dad. Oh for sure, not mother. oh man!!!!!!! I would trust Ryan Moe and my two little sisters, Kylie and Krista. and any other girl that is one of my friends. That also leaves out aunts and uncles. lol. Oh, and a small toiletry bag would be nice too.
Do you want to know something really annoying? I tell people to respond back. Hardly anyone ever does, only my mother and my father and occasionally a sibling and a couple of friends every once in a while. I do appreciate those extra efforts.
And family, thank you for the wonderful music-playing Thanksgiving card that sings. "Another one bites the dust". It was a hit with Elder Braga and Sego and my companion.
Loves and kisses to all,
