Weekly

My week was interesting! we went to Ilheus for zone conference. while we were there, the SR couple got to Valença. in the Bus Station to come back, I got hit on by a man dressed as a woman.. haha

When we got back here, the next day we showed the couple around the city, took them to members houses. We found them a house to live in, and in the process, found a home where we might move. It's above their house, it's super cool! They are an awesome couple. They are from Paraná, here in Brasil. They are super great, they are almost done with their mission. They've already helped so much with the organization of the church here. It was kinda crazy, but they got here and started straightening things up. they're going to give everyone callings, and everything's gonna work a lot smoother. 

Our investigator is still planning for this Saturday to be baptized! and also, her daughter might be baptized with her! 

church was really good, I'm not in the primary anymore, so now I stay with the men. 

this week, I learned how to make potato bread. Sister Mathius(the sr couple) likes to use homemade bread for the sacrament, so she taught us, and will teach the sisters in the group! 

we ate dinner ate lunch at Ravena's house, (the recent convert) and it was super super good! Sister Mathius made a calendar for lunch, so we're going to start getting lunch here! very pumped for that! things are great with Elder Vanderwerff! were working hard! 

today, for p day, we went to Guabim, (the beach here) with the sr couple, they wanted to meet a memebr who lives there, then walk on ther beach a bit. it was fun! and last night, they asked president if next week we could all go to morro de são paulo, (the island) and he said yes! so were gonna go there next pday.

also this week, we were at the Mathius house, and they have a neighbor. hes 6 and his name is filip. he saw us on the patio and he didnt recognize us so he asked who were were. we started talking with him and he was really funny. we told him we were Americans but he didn't beleive us. So we spoke English, but he still said we weren't Americans haha. kinda a pointless story but it was kinda funny in the moment lol

Well, I hope yall all have a good week! falou
