The missionary work here is starting to happen! We have
eight new investigators this week and one of the people who previously dropped
us returned so we have several people to teach!
There is much work to do in this branch.
My companion has been sick for the past four days. We think
he has dengue fever. The other night we went
to the hospital at 2:00 in the morning. He
is in some pain but it’s not as serious as it sounds. Sister Andrews, the mission president’s wife,
told him to stay in after 5:00. We
still go out and work because he refuses to sit around. He just wants to work.
IT’S FREAKING HOT HERE. I’m dying.
I literally am sweating 24/7. The
inside of our house is like 88 degrees and the outside is 95. There is absolutely no breeze or anything. We have a fan in our house but it
does nothing. The air in our house is so
hot. The fan just blows hot air over
you. I don’t know what I’m going to do
about this heat. I don’t think I’m
getting use to it. I feel like I’m
breathing with a blanket over my face.
I feel so claustrophobic. This is
way difficult for me and has become a big trial.
We found some potential houses in our area. We just need to get the mission president or one
of the secretaries to come look and approve one. They haven’t had time to do that with my
companion being sick.
I had an interview with our new mission president this week
that was great! He gave me
direction. He isn’t worried about
numbers at all. He just wants me to always
have the Spirit with me and to work hard.
I get feed well here!
I ate chicken hearts the other day.
They were terrible. They just
tasted like blood to me. I have had churrasco six times! Churrasco is
barbeque Brazilian style. They use
salt to season the meat. They use all
kinds of parts from cows and chickens.
They also use sausages.
