Week 22

Hello!!

So we went to Walmart, it took a bit over an hour to walk there. They didn't have anything that we needed. It is definitly a Walmart and has some of the same stuff but nothing actually American. They did have an entire isle dedicated to just Coke though. They drink it a lot here. The whole thing, both sides, was nothing but Coke.

The dentist went fine, He is the Stake President and so we talked to him a bit about how the work was going and I'll go back on Wednesday to have him actually take care of my tooth. I didn't have any cavities but I was starting to get a tiny one on a tooth and he'll fix that for me.

Easter was cool. After church we went to the bishop's parent's house (cause it's a lot closer than the bishop's house) for lunch with him and his family. We had to wait for him to finish tithing stuff and so we fell asleep on their couch...it was the most comfortable thing I've sat on since I came to Brazil!! And when he finally got there we had a special Easter Sunday lunch. We had....Rice and beans with Chicken!!! But it was different because they added carrots to the rice! It sure was special :) haha it's a good thing i'm not too picky about my food. Anyway, after that we went and taught Jhuann (which I previouslly spelled Rua, though I'm not sure if I already told you about that in the last email or not) at Felipe's house. We need to talk to his mom before he will allow him to be baptized.

Something that happens here that is really annoying is when you take a water bottle out of the fridge. It's in there and it's nice and cold but it's such a change that when you take the lid off it instantly turns into ice. I think it's called flash freezing or something like that it and it's super annoying.

Also, I tried going for a run the other morning but I dunno if I will tyr again...I don't want to keep gaining weight but I don't think running is the way to stop it. Elder Arnaud and I went runing cause my companion didn't have running shoes. It was only for about 20 minutes and I felt great but right when I got home I was geven a present of four king size chocolate bars! Eldre Arnaud got four chocolate bars and also a package (about the size of a microwave) from his family FULL of candy and sweets! Clearly that's a sign that we shouldn't go running anymore.

Tomorrow we are going to a city called Marilia for zone conference!! It'll be my first once since the other one was the week beforeI got out here in the field. We will leave here at about 6 in the morning and it's aonly a two hour bus ride to the..south..I think.

Well that's all I got today, hope you all have a wonderful week!
