Well first of all, I cannot stand computers here in Brasil, we use Lan Houses that are just loaded with old computers that are slower than slow. I just wasted 30 minutes trying to send pictues in this email and ended up with only 1 going through. So next week there will be more, I had another 4 that I wanted to send but I don't want to waste anymore time trying to get it done.
So tonight we find out about our transfers and whats going on, it is pretty certain that one of us will leave but that is now the question, who will leave. I have been here in Guapira for 4 months now and I love it here. Its pretty slumish and I have seen a lot of stuff I never wanted to or thought possible but the members are amazing. Yesterday at church I told like one or two people that this week was transfers and that I might be leaving and by the end of the meetings everybody knew it and was asking when I was leaving. I was just like we have no idea who is leaving yet! It was kind of annoying and I have now learned not to do that again for the rest of the mission. But I trully do love the members here they have been a home away from home. The work has been difficult and there hasnt been a ton of results that we are seeing in front of us right now but in the future I'm sure things will happen. And through it all the ward has really supported us and helped us out a lot. It´s weird to think that I will have to leave this area at some point in my mission whether it be now or in the future. You get so used to everything and love the people so much and then boom you gotta start over. Yesterday my companion was sick and we stayed at home and I just sat there thinking about everything and all the experiences that I've had up until now on the mission and all the amazing people that I've met. And then I thought about the fact that is was very likely that I would never see a lot of them again and it was saddening. But thats what facebook is for and all this new technology we have.
Anywho this week went by decently and we have a couple people progressing but no huge changes in anything. The young woman we are teaching, Ingrid, is doing super well and really wants to be baptized but we´re still waiting on her mom to authorize it. The other day we were at her house and her younger brother was there as well and he was asking all about the mission and how things are. He asked how many missions he could serve and when could he leave it was awesome. He said when he becomes a member that he wants to go out with us and talk to people. And he told me that when I'm going back to the US he wants me to go back to his house and say bye to them. Gah I love the mission and these Brasilian people so much!
Eu Te Amo
