Hey everyone!! This week has been good. I'm still just getting used to everything. It's been fun getting to know people here. I still have no idea what they're saying to me but I know how humble these people are. They don't have much where I'm at but yet they're still so loving and kind. The food has been really good! They somehow are always able to feed us so much! A funny story.....we were at a members house and she was asking me if I want more food, and I tried to tell her "I'm full of food" but I guess it came out as "I'm full of pregnancy" because the words for "full of food" and "full of pregnancy" are so similar so they all just started laughing! haha....Yeah I was really embarrassed but hey no worries, I soon found out later she spoke english and I could've just spoke to her in english that entire night haha!
Our area is a little hard but we're trying our best out here. I asked a girl to get baptized a couple days ago and she said yes but now she's sorta running from us. Idk alot of people out here are people pleasers I think. They just dont want to say no to our face. It's fine though. My companion and I are just going to have to work harder! It's hard not being able to speak what I feel at moments especially when I know what I say could change their world.
Anyway, I am loving it here and I'm growing everyday from these experiences. I'm glad to be here and I love and miss all of you. Write me if you want to be written back in slaughtered Portuguese!
