This week was so awesome! We were running like crazy all around São Paulo. We had a 3 zone conference this week which was a little bitter sweet. It is the last conference that we will have with President and Sister Tanner. I have only been her a short time and I already know that I am going to miss them so much. We got to watch a video of our new President though and he and his wife seem pretty awesome as well!
This week I have had to sing in front of people enough times to fill my mission haha and most of the time it was awful. We sang a goodbye song for President and Sister Tanner with all of the zones... it was the worst thing I have ever heard haha. We were trying so hard not to laugh the whole time because it was so terrible, full of love though. Then we had conference and we sang in quartet, that was actually good but then we sang for a baptism this weekend and it was the second worst thing I have ever heard haha. You win some you lose some.
Work was a little harder this week. We were out of our area for two day, first for conference . And then on Friday we had to leave because I had to go to the Federal Police. The good news is, I am actually legal now so they won´t deport me! yay! We had time to return to our area but then all of the power went out, everywhere. We were sitting in a lesson teaching the ten commandments and next thing we know, pitch black. We finished the lesson by the light of a lighter and then ran home so fast. So right now we are just working on finding new people to teach.
We had the baptism of Selma and Aparecido this saturday and then on Sunday they were baptized along with João who was baptized last week. It was so wonderful! Our LMA was worried that not a lot of people would make it because it was on Saturday but the room was full! This ward is awesome about supporting our investigators. We were in charge of filling up the font for the baptism this week but the water heater broke. Poor Selma and Aparecido had to be baptized in freezing cold water ahah at least they will always remember it! Selma got in and her face was scrunched the whole time and then she ran out of the font. Little Aparecido was shaking so hard that Jair baptized him and then instead of just standing him up in the water he lifted him directly out of the water into a towel. Everyone started laughing when they changed and came out. Selma kept saying she could feel the shock of it for the rest of her life aha. It was a great day!
Ahh ran out of time again! Got to go! Love you!!!
