Happy Birthday Caroline! |
Well this week was a rather different week for several reasons.
Elder Favoretti and I both got sick this week, but several days apart, so we
lost two days visiting Oban, the public clinic right behind our house. Elder
Favoretti´s was the beginning of the week, on Tuesday, and he had gotten food
poisoning and that´s why he almost passed out last Saturday and again Tuesday,
something he ate. Then this past Thursday we had a ward activity at a park for
lunch, apparently it was a holiday, so everyone was off work and school.
Anyways, we had churrasco and something you always have with churrasco here is
"Mayonese" which is like potato salad. Let´s just say it was very hot
on Thursday and apparently I should´ve avoided the Mayonese. However, all the
workers at the clinic loved talking to an American and they stuck something in
my vein and let it drip in me and I felt better, prescribed some medicine to
help with stomach pain and while we were at the clinic waiting for me, we
received a phone call to come do service, so while Elder Favoretti helped
Brother Jacobs make a cement drive way, I got to sit in the shade, Sister
Jacobs brought out their amazing grape juice and happened to have the medicine
that I was prescribed and I took it there.
Keila should return home within the next couple of days, I
think. Irasema as well, along with her deaf sister that she cares for, also got
sick, theirs was Saturday, vomiting and stuff and said if they were better
she´d go to church the next day, but didn´t end up going. We also met her
daughter that works in Sao Leopaldo this week. Anyways, Irasema is doing great.
Church was good, final speaker was the stake YW president who had another great
talk about all sorts of stuff, but part was about uniting and uplifting other
members, investigators, and recent converts.
This week someone that we´ve only taught the first discussion
to, Pedro, who is the boyfriend of an RM came to church and he brought a
friend, Murilo. They both really enjoyed it. Pedro has already been to
institute and liked that a lot too.
I don´t know how Thanksgiving works, like yesterday at lunch I
saw something about Black Friday and asked if they have Thanksgiving and they
said yes so well, we´ll see. We do have zone conference this week again. As
long as I don´t get poisoned again and get to eat some good meat, I´ll be
alright. I think this Thursday we actually have lunch at Roseli´s based on the
calendar, but not sure for certain.
Have a fun, week long Thanksgiving break!
Love y’all, boa
semana!

Eating ice
cream with a giant spoon and drinking tererê after a hot day. Tererê is cold
chimarrão, like the one we made is with cold limeade, tastes super good
