So, the week started with a surprise, we went back to Manaus
to do an exam, but no one told me or my companion that they would be attaching
several wires to my body and that I could not sweat or shower for 24 hours. Incidentally
I used too much of my money on a battery they said I needed and then did not
use insomuch that I was left with insufficient funds to return to our area. As
a result I did not eat, we walked in the sun instead of using the bus system. We
had to borrow 5 reals from our zone leader because my companion spent over 250
reals in less than a week, and I had to pay his fare.
But it's all good now.
We've got a really promising family in our area. Moderately
wealthy, public servant, has his own car, wants to learn English, and the
craziest thing, HE'S ALREADY MARRIED!! His name is Wilker and we taught him
with our bishop which is very special and we gave a blessing to his little
8-year-old. Incredible experience, he asked all the right questions and I’m
confident I’ll see his baptism.
Everything is just right. I can easily converse with the Brazilians
without thinking about it and we have no trouble baptizing. Had three more this
week.
Hope everyone is doing as good as me right now,
Elder Willard
