Hello all!
This week went super well! I
went on exchange twice. Once I stayed in the Abreu e Lima with Elder Meneguzzi
and the other time I went to the area Jardim Brasil with Elder Moreira (zone
leader).
During the exchange with
Elder Moreira, we went to a self-serve restaurant for lunch because our lunch
fell through. At the self-serve, you get
two options of meat. I looked at one of
the options and it was some sort of chicken I have never heard of, and so I
thought I would go for it. AFTER eating all the chicken, Elder Moreira asks me
if I liked it..I said yes...he then smiles and asks if I knew how the sauce was
made...I said no...he laughs and tells me that they take the chicken’s blood
out and then use it to make the sauce. Well
it wasn't too bad.
Today we had transfers and I
was transferred. It turns out that I am
going to open the area "Lagoa Encantada," that has been closed for a
transfer, and I will also be training a new missionary. The Assistants gave me a map of the area, a Google
map of how to get there by bus, and the cell phone for the area. I looked at the cell phone to see the
contacts, and found that it doesn’t have contacts... I said to one of the Assistants,
"My phone doesn’t seem to have any contacts." He said, "What do you want a hug or
something?" haha so yeah looks like I am going to have to knock doors to
find the bishop here.
Right now I am with another
elder who will also train a new missionary.
Tomorrow we will go to the President's house and get our new companions!
I am super excited, but also super super
nervous. Luckily I know that President
is going to make waffles tomorrow, and that is something I am missing.
Wish me luck! The photos are
of my last district and the best pizza in Abreu e Lima.
Abraço,
Elder Waters
