It's going to be a sort of shorter email today, because i'm at a member's house and we're going to help clean up the house. Anyway, this week was better, we're still having a tough time, but someone finally came to church. We found Rita a while back in the area book. We've been teaching her for a little while. Anyway, she came on sunday, as it turns out she worked with Bete, and she lived right next to a recent convert, and we asked a member to sit with her and show her the ropes and such, and so by the end she had tons of friends. So that was good.
We had another integration night, this one Noite de Stroganof, which was great, and this time we finally managed to teach some of these people that came to integration night. We taught two teenage kids, Fabio and Rudi, they we going to come to church, but they ended up going out of town for the weekend, so they'll come next week. We found a few other people, last night we taught this girl, Alice, who was pretty cool, she understood everything really well. It didn't work to teach her inside, so we were outside at a little table, but there were tons of mosquitos. It was a little distrating, especially when Otávio (who came with me on a divsion) squished one on his face a blood came out. I'm still all itchy from the mosquitos, but i figure sacrifice is important and such. Next time we'll have to find a better place to teach them.
We've still got a couple lodgers in our house, and we're not sure about when they're leaving, but it's alright. For the most part it's fun, but occasionally it causes problems, and four guys using one bathroom is not ideal. But we're doing good. This week is crazy, we have two big conferences this week with Elder Teixeira, from the area presidency.
It is one again super hot and we're having a hard time sleeping, today we went and played around with a football and some of the jovens, it was fun.
Sort of an uneventful week, it went super fast though, and we're hopeful, things are starting to get moving. Some other cool thing have happened, Jessica and Alberto, two of Mariazinha's grandchildren who i taught a lot in Benfica were baptized this weekend. Jessica i taught a lot, alberto i didn't actually teach that much, but i did give him book of mormon aparently (i barely remember) As it turns out since that day he's read every day and was already halfway through when the missionaries there now talked to him. It's always cool to here about success in my old areas.
Congrats to Michelle on the mission.
That's about the news from this week, you guys have a great week, the weeks are flying by, i can't believe it's already monday again.
Abraços,
Elder Ammon
