Well this week went pretty well. So we were supposed to start out this week by casting out a demon of some lady that said that she was possessed, which is hard to tell if she is actually possessed or not because for some reason people here in Brasil are into that kinda stuff, like they have churches where they invite spirits to enter your body and crazy stuff like that, but even if she is not possessed she in down right out of her mind. So anyways we were gonna do that, but we had a suprise Zone Conference that lasted the whole day, and when we went to this ladies house they next day she didnt say anything so we left it alone. But on the bright side we have been teaching her son, and that if going really great, he's kinda crazy because of his mom, but he is really really religious and everything we teach him he accepts right away, he says that he can really feel a strong spiritual presence when we are there, and he said that he had a dream that confirmed that this church is true, so now we just gotta teach him and throw him in the water ha. We've been working with an awesome family, and they would have been baptized this weekend, but this weekend was the start of Carnival, so if you've ever seen the movie "Rio" that movie is all about Carnival, except here in my area Carnival is really weak because everyone that wants to party goes somewhere else, But anyways so this family went out of town for the weekend, but they'll get baptized this week for sure, i'm so pumped to baptized my first family! Thing here that past few days have been pretty relaxed, there was a crazy rainstorm a few days ago, which pretty much flooded the streets within 30 minutes of rainfall, the street that we have to cross to get home was like 5 inches deep so we had to take off out shoes to cross and walk home barefoot. Also there were a bunch of little kids running through the streets enjoying the rain, the streets in my area are all dirt so i felt like i was in some weird slumdog millionaire type situation ha. Oh and another bit of the social norms they have here, so we taught a couple earlier this week, and the girl was 15 years old, and the guy was 24, and they live together and all that, and here in Brasil thats not weird or anything, so thats something that i thought was interesting. The next few days are gonne be pretty chill because Carnival is wrapping up so by now everyone is just hungover and walking like zombies through the streets, or just passed out on the side of the road, so it'll be pretty quiet around here. Well thats all for this week!
