This week is the last week of the transfer, so its always excited to see the changes and where people will go and what people will do. I don't know if I ever explained the mission slang that everyone uses that is actually funny. But when you start out with your trainer in the first area, if your an elder your trainer is your dad and you are the son, and if you are a sister its the same with mom and daughter. and its funny when you are called to train because you just know your child is coming but dont know yet who it will be and you are all excited that you will be a dad or a mom, like real life. And this week I pass the 9 month mark and so the 'tradition' is that after the 9 months, like a pregnacy, you can be called to train. Its so dumb writing this but it makes training fun to talk about. Transfers really are a big deal because everything can change, and I'm due to go to a new city about now because its already my 4th month is Serrinha, if I stay for one more transfer it will be a full 6 months. But its next week so I can worry about it later.
This week didn't have much interesting other than knocking door and meeting new and interesting people.
My companion Elder J Silva tried to make guava cake this week but we didnt have baking powder so he tried yeast because "its basically the same thing" and it turned out weird, it was not the same thing. The guava was good but the cake itself was eh. He also made homemade bread (with the yeast :) and it turned out good. I took photos but still I'm not able to send them yet.
Last tuesday I got my ingrown toenail cut down to size and it was a unimaginable pain that I was not expecting, I've gone through some uncomfortable procedures but this was the most painful, I think, in my life, I bought new flip flop here and let me say that they are may more comfortable than in the USA and I think its because there is more of a market for good flip flops because everyone uses them all the time, everyday; so I'm enjoying mine. And after the nail was cut I needed to go a day or 2 without shoes (only flip flops) and so I went prosolying with my new pair and it was so funny and strangely comfortable; we should allow this all the time! But my feet burned from the sun because they basically never see sunlight, so I would have to be more accustomed.
I think thats it for this week, tenha uma boa semana gente!
