brasil week 8

Well another week done with, went pretty smoothly, nothing too exciting, but not bad either. We've got a pretty solid group of people that we're teaching right now, which is good cause we had to cut a few people this last week that just weren't progressing at all, which isnt fun, but it was necessary. i've been learning a lot about the different religions here from some of out investigators, which has basically made me believe even stronger that our church is true. for example in the catholic religion here people have to pay to get baptized(30 bucks) and to confess sins, which both of those are obviously false doctrines. And how the Evangelicals hate catholics, and vice versa. They also have 2 churchs, the Universal and some other church that i cant remember the name of, but they basically rob people dry for attending church. They basically tell people that go their that before they leave they have to give them all the money they have, and they make them pay for books that they have to return at the end of the church meeting, and some make people leave if they dont have any money to "donate", its all just rediculous. And the rest of the churches here are pretty much just people screaming and casting out demons and all that fun stuff, i swear our church is the only one here that makes any sense, but apperantly not to people here, but oh well. Oh so i do have one funny\depressing story to share, so saturday we were teaching this girl named Renata, and her mom, Renata is 16 and has a crush on my companion, basically said that she wants to marry him the first time we met her, so he´d always just kinda joke about it and not think too much of it, but saturday when we got there she was like "so as a missionary you cant date me or do anything like that", to which my companion clearly responded no, and after that she basically got really mad, and would only talk to me the rest of the time, and when i asked if she'd go to church she said no because she was mad at my companion, so i asked her if she'd read the book and mormon and pray, and she said yeah, but that she wouldnt tell us if she got an answer that our church was true because she was so mad at Elder C. Alves, rediculous!!! And even worse i think she has a crush on me now haha, so we'll see how that goes. Oh and i think we fould moses this week when we were tracting, he is old and has this crazy long beard and looks just like moses, he literally lives in a little forest thing next to this sewage drop off, i'm gonna ask him next time if he has the pallets with the 10 commandments still haha. well i think thats all for now! till next week!
