This week was alright, nothing really exciting happened, just another week of many really. The Lan house we usually go to is closed today for some reason so we are at another one and this computer doesn't have the capability to upload photos, so I will send lots next week. We worked normally this week until friday which was district meeting in Camaçari and afterwords we had the wedding of Terezinha, who is the mom of our recent convert family that we baptized and have been fortifying since I've arrived here. It was really cool to be a part of because they were living together but to get baptized they can't be living together, so he moved out until their wedding, its so cool to see the commitment of someone who is striving to do whats right. Pictures to come. And also Elder B. Costa was given permission to some to see aswell so it was fun talking with him. Saturday we missed the morning session of conference because we didnt leave soon enough to catch the bus, so we ate lunch, visited another recent convert and went to the sunday afternoon session in Camaçari, which is like 45min bus ride depending on if its direct or not. Conference was okay except it was only in portuguese. I'm actually really improving at understanding and could understand some translators, but its really tiring on the brain to focus for that long. So I had to choose which ones I was going to actively listen because its too tiring to focus on everything. Interesting thing! =Elder Christofferson does his own translations for his talks! I didn't know that before conference he records his talks in portuguese and they play the translation at the same time as his english one, his portuguese is easier for me to understand because its so white .😁 But I would still like the conference engisn in english some time in the next 5-6 months ❤please.
Love you and have a fantastic week in the home land!
