About time for that one year mark to
pass.....but it was fast and it was enjoyable. I didn't do anything
´´fun´´ on that day but it did rain a ton and it was really muddy. But
the week was good. Last week the branch president told everyone in ward
council that they were going to shut down the branch if they didn't get 16 guys
with the priesthood who pay their tithing. They started to help us right
away so we had a bunch of member help this week. Also we finally had a
miracle....yesterday this lady showed up to church with her family, she is a
less active member that wants to come back to church....her husband is getting
baptized the 28th this month....pretty cool.
Sweet that Spencer sent his papers
in. I’ll say that he is going to the Eugene Oregon mission or the
Montevideo Oeste mission in Uruguay. So idk if he
will get them next wed or the next one but can’t wait to find out where he is
going. This Christmas will be really different with two of the boys gone.
We are going to have 4 missionaries and maybe 5 if Michael goes in the
family all out at the same time.
So some of the hard things that we
have to do here is talk in Portuguese....like a fifth of the people here are
Brazilian. So it’s not too hard to understand when I read the Book of
Mormon in Portuguese but to try and understand the people that speak is hard.
We only speak a little bit, and Guaraní just screws it all up....4 languages in
your head are not fun!!!
Last week we had cucumbers in
vinegar with onions and it tasted like summer....it was great!!!! Can’t wait to
eat that when I get home in less than a year. HAHA Oh and on Easter this
lady who feeds us lunch who only speaks Portuguese wanted a big ole kiss from
me because it was Easter and then she gave us cake with alcohol in it! So when I got to this area and now that
I have a year in the mission, I just want to get rid of all my junk. I am
tired of hauling it around, my bags were so heavy to get here....one of them,
the biggest, is all broken, the wheels are trashed....I’ve just decided that I
want to come home with just my carry on if I can, and maybe the smaller
suitcase in other words I don’t want to buy anything else while I am here...I
have some cool stuff but there is nothing to bring home to yall. When Spencer
gets his call I will make a list of things to take and things not to
take....like about suits, pants, shoes, luggage and other stuff...I have a
little list for him.
Well that’s about it for this week I
will try to send a pic, no promise because this place is old.
Love you mom
Taylor
