This week has been pretty relaxed in that is was fairly normal. Although in Brazil, its never really normal... Carnaval on the calander starts the 28th and goes until the 29th but what they don´t tell you is that in some areas it starts a week early, so I´ve been seeing sneak peaks of what is to come tomorrow; although I´m in a smallish town so the partying wont be to big as in salvador which is party central. Yesterday I saw a bunch of men walking down the street dancing wearing dresses and wigs while drinking so I can only imagine what is to come... I actually asked what the purpose behind Carnaval is and peole have said "to drink, to party, to have November birthdays..."I´ve also heard from my companion that "Carnaval can be compared to Halloween, because all I see are monsters. But we are going to work through it. We were told by president that we are to work but if the partying gets to bad then we are supposed to go home. We probably won´t have that bad of a problem with it because it is a smallish town, but all of our appointments are falling because people have parties to go to or are leaving to salvador; its the same with street contacts, there are less people to talk to because so many people are gone. But we are making good progress with out investigators and we have a couple getting ready to be baptized on the 11 and 25 of march which is right in the middle of our next transfer so we are working to get them baptized before, in case we leave. I want to say more but my time ran out, so, Love you guys!
