Well this transfer will be 7 weeks long instead of just 6. It stared a week early because of Christmas. So next Monday we all find out about transfers and then do whatever we need to on Tuesday for it. Elder Phillipy only has five 6 weeks left including this one that just started, so I'll probably be getting a different companion bu nobody knows for sure. It is whatever the Mission president feels inspired to do!
Not a lot happened this week. Jennifer cut us, she doesn't want to only pray to God, she likes praying to Mary also. None of our investigators are progressing because they won't read the Book of Mormon, but we planned this week really well and think we can get them to make specific goals instead of just accepting the invite to read. It did rain on three days that we thought it wouldn't and so didn't take rain jackets or an umbrella. Speaking of which, the mission president and his wife were in Bauru last week and she stole my my umbrella. (yes stole, took without asking :O) and I have no idea where it ended up so I, once again, don't have an umbrella. So those three days I got soaked. When we were coming home on Thursday, it started to rain and within 10 seconds was the hardest rain I've seen in my life. The drops were huge! We ran the last couple blocks to the bust stop which was partially covered but then it stated to be windy too and it didn't help much. Next the gutter got full and the whole road was covered with water and looked like a river but then it decided the road was too small for it and stared taking over the sidewalk too! Waterproof shoes only work if the water can't go over the top. Once that happens, it would be better if they weren't water proof because all they do is keep all the water in and make your shoes weigh a ton!
I hope this next week goes better, we just need to find new people to teach. We can easily keep all the ones we teach right now and add probably 20 more if it ever stops raining so we have a chance to meet them.
My Portuguese is definitely improving! I can almost always understand people but still have a hard time getting my point across, its much harder to speak than understand! For me at least. I'm out of time. Hope you all are doing well!
Tchau,
Elder Haws
