well this week has been great! i know its been a while so i'll recap the last few weeks, so i got transfered early out of my area 3 weeks ago because my companion was gonna start training a new missionary that was comin in. so i got transfered to the outskirts of the city fortaleza. i had 2 very difficult weeks with a companion that didnt speak the language to week, and frankly we just didnt get along very well. but luckily regular transfers were last week, and i got a great new companion named elder baker. he is like 6 foot 8, and really goofy, he´s been out for a year and a month, but he speaks portuguese perfect, and he teaches really good as well, so needless to say, i'm pretty excited about this transfer. since i only spent 2 weeks in this new area before my new companion came in, we're pretty much starting new and opening the area, which has proved to be a little difficult this last week, but its starting to get a lot better. This last week we street contacted into this awesome family, and we have taught them a few times and they all came to church yesterday, so i was really happy. it was testimony sunday so they said they didnt like it too much, but we explained everything and they said they'll give it another shot next week, so we'll see how it goes, but i have a lot of faith. besides that we arent really with anyone else at the moment, we are doin a family home evening with this one older couple tonight though which should be fun. this new area i'm in is a lot different from my other area, my other area seemed a little more industrialized, while this area is a lot smaller, and has a lot of dirt roads and stuff, but i like it, everyone is into fitness too which is pretty cool. well not too much else goin on right now. till next week! write me a letter if you love me (valentines day is comin up;))
