This week was great
we had lots of progress made and lots of new people with a lot of interest in
the church. I also forgot to put a title/subject last week oops.
NOVO PESSOSAS
This week at church
we had 10 non members who are interested in the church! This was amazing and it
was the perfect day for them to come because one of the councilors of the
mission presidency came and talked in our Branch. I didn't understand all of
what he said but from what I did understand he talked about what we believe and
keeping our faith strong so for the nonmembers wanting to learn more it helped
answer a lot of the questions they had.
CUÑINÁRIA
If you know me, you
know I love cooking and this area is one of the only areas where you get to do
so. Because of the small Branch and not a lot of members we only have 2-3 meals
a week with members, so I got to Cook a lot. The one thing we didn't remember
was how big portions were, so I usually made way to much but we had really good
leftovers.
I was able to
realize how big Unaí really is this week. We had a lot of waking to do and went
to places I didn't even know we had in our area. We got to cross a big river
and walked an hour to what I thought was the middle of no where with storage
places and warehouses but then it was like another small town there was so many
houses and people that I had no clue existed. Then we walked up and over a hill
to an awesome area with horses dirt roads and houses with giant backyards (not
sure what to call to but lots of land).
We went to school
and helped "teach" an English class and all the students were so
nice. They were anywhere from 14-17 and they were all so interested about the
North Americans (and Argentina). They made us food and desserts, we played
kahoots and they had lots of questions about us and the United States. We
didn't really teach so to say but we did answer in English and then if they
didn't understand we would say it again in Portuguese.
This week I had a
lot more appreciation for the little things. One of the nights we got home
and were getting ready for bed and the power went out but for ALL of Unaí at first,
we were like what is going on but then we looked at the sky, and because were
in the middle of hills and plains there was no light and thousands of stars. It
was amazing I've never seen so many stars in my life. Then when the power went
back on it was interesting to see them slowly le out of sight but still know
that they're there.
We have pictures
with 3 dogs because it was one a task for each of the areas in our
district.
