Well this week was... interesting. So my companion got a call on tuesday from the mission president, and was informed that he would be training a new missionary that would be coming in next week. Which is weird because its the middle of the transfer, but since he's training that means that i'm leaving for a new area, which kinda sucks because its the middle of the transfer, and because i've gotten pretty comfortable in this area, but on the other hand i'm pretty excited to have a new area. i'm being transfer to an area called castelão, which is where the huge soccer stadium in fortaleza is, so that will be cool, and i guess my area is where that church started getting popular here, so hopefully that means that there are a lot of members there. i havent met my companion yet, i will tomorrow, but his name is Elder LeBlue, and he's american, and from what i've heard he is kinda weird and doesnt speak portuguese very well, so this should be interesting. but nonetheless i'm excited.
As for the rest of this week, its been a little hard lately finding new people to teach, but we did get a chance to talk to a members dad, who isnt a member, and he is probably the smarted guy i have met here so far. We started talking about the church and he already knew the whole history and everything, although he did have some false information mixed in there too, but either way he was pretty much awesome. As for the people that we've been working with for baptism this week, they are kinda becoming a little.... uninteresting, which has been difficult, we've got 2 girls that we've been working with for a while now, and they seemed pretty excited about baptism, but lately they've been dodging us, so we havent even talked to them for a week now, which kinda sucks, but it happens. And one woman who we've been working with who was supposed to get baptized yesterday starting getting attacked with doubts a few days ago, and decided not to get baptized this week.I've realized how much you start to care about these people once you start teaching them, and it sucks when they decide not to do something that you know will change their life for the better. But anyways, till next week! Write me a letter!
