Truth
is that we have a lot of members here that are great for helping out the
missionaries. We got bus-fair this week from the Relief society, we almost
always have lunch in the houses of members, and my personal favorite is the
random honking that means "Hey Elders, wave at one of the hundreds of cars
you can't see into and smile!" And we also get these awesome little rolls
here every week from a sister in the ward... helpful for dejejum [breakfast].
The
lessons this week are got tougher, more or less because I'm starting to
understand more of the problems these people have. And, well, Elder Matos is
super new to the area and with the investigators I've already met he sits
somewhat quietly while I try to start the lesson. With the less active members
he sometimes tries to slip in a phrase I haven't learned yet to make fun of me.
He's figured out now that I understand more than I can verbalize. HA! finally
remember that word! So we got a reference from a cartãozinho [cards] we give
out and dropped off a DVD (Encontrando fé em Cristo) [Finding Faith in Christ]
and taught the first lesson a few days later.
Elder Joel A. Smith
