This week was really productive. I made goals to open my mouth to new people and introduce them to our church and the Book of Mormon more. As I worked for these goals, we found a lot of new people to teach. Some of them weren't very excited, but some of them seemed very interested. I can't wait to start working with these people! It's a little sad. We are finding all these great people, but with transfers, I think both of us may be leaving.
We had a 'Castanha' on Tuesday. So caju is actually a fruit. I didn't know about it before coming here. It has this big nob on the top of it that you take and burn. Then you crack open the nob and have the nut to eat. It was really good.

Sorry, they had to cut the power here at the lan house for a little bit, so they told us to send what we had real quick. But yeah, castanha was really cool.
This week we opened the Book of Mormon with one kid and asked if we could return to his house and teach him and his family another day, and he said, "My mom is down there." So we followed him. He took off on his bike and got to her about 50 feet ahead of us. He said something to her, and she looked to us, and immediately turned away... She turned to her son and started shaking her head and waving her finger saying no no no no... When we got there, she is part of the Assembleia de Deus church. It's this huge church here with a building on every block. If their members talk to us, then they basically get excommunicated... So its really hard to teach people of the Assembleia.
I haven't had a real sandwich in 4 months. Yeah, I hit the four month mark this week. Its crazy! Oh speaking of sandwiches, tuna here is really expensive right now. Last night the Relief Society gave us some little sandwiches, and they were tuna sandwiches, but they used sardines instead. I thought that was funny. They were still really good. But its funny that they switch to sardines when tuna is expensive.
But the work is going good here. About ninety percent of what we teach is "if you live how God wants you to live, you will be blessed by Him. This isn't us saying this. This is a promise He made to us in the scriptures hundreds of times!" Its very true.
We have transfers next week sometime, so when I write next Monday, I should know if I am staying in Jordão or not.
I hope all is well with everyone! Love you all!
