Week of Elder Joel Smith

Carnaval happened and I got bumped until today to write due to many splits with other missionaries. Don't look up Carnaval! Simply, Mardis Gras in America is Carnaval here.

I am now almost fluent at this language with a huge gap in my vocabulary. I can speak fluently about simple things, church wise, experiences in the field and so on. But if I want to talk about just about anything outside of that, good luck.  

Lojas [stores] americano we have, more common are the [Chinese?] shops, yes we have hamburgers and fries, but I personally would rather eat with the members.

And POR FIM [finally]!!! my feet are alright.   

We found some awesome investigators that we can visit next week. We made a contact really special and it went like a normal conversation. We stopped in the road and just talked and made out that the couple is planning to get married in the year to come, and a friend of the young lady was on a mission in Argentina. They accepted an opportunity that we offered to pass by this coming week and teach. Really simply they were really open and willing to listen.
