I died again, dang it... We had P-day in Feira de Santana but didn't get back until late and all the computer places were closed, so that sucked. But, we had a great week of work meeting new people and several families, so we are excited to be working with them here. I don't think I mentioned but just in the month of march we had 113 baptisms in our mission and it was the most baptisms than any other mission in the world, so that was really cool the amount of work we are doing.
I took a bunch of photos this week because I realized I wasn't hardly taking any, my adaptor broke so I can't send any today but I will in the future. I started just taking pictures of normal things because normal here is not normal at home and I want to show/remember how things are here.
Something that is super popular in all of Brasil, it seems like, is Lanchenetes; which are like small food shops. They have like savory treats you can buy or meals but I think the meals are really small so they are more like snacks to me, like something you eat real quick to kill hunger until you can get home. Also they normally make fresh juice right them when you order it and its soooo goooood; I think my favorite juice is either Maracuja (which is pasion fruit) or Acerola (which doesn't have an english nome or equivilent).
We finally got a new washing machine and its glorious beyond description, way better than washing by hand (I have a great photo and video of this). Washing machines are a blessing 😇
Also we had a transfer! How could I forget?! But its okay, nothing happened, I'm staying in Serrinha for another 6 weeks (until the end august) with the same companion (Elder J. Silva) and now we know how to work together well so we will have more success. We are doing so many activities to strengthen the ward here and to get people to at least vist the church; we organized integration night full of games and fun on thursday, english class saturday, and ward family night tuesday; so of course we are keeping busy with these and normal missionary work. This would normally be really stressful for most people to do but we are having so much fun doing it because of the purpose behind it. We are also trying to get approval for church soccer with the feild that the chapel has and so we will be organizing that for probably wednesday. So with all these activities the church is open almost everyday, which was our goal because lots of people just think our church is closed all the time, so hopefully this will help.
Love you peoples! 🤗
