In Salmourão we ate lunch at a members house. Edimar and Lucy. She just made a meat and a potato salad and juice. but she actually took time and made it good! There is a member here who doesn't really like elders too much and so just gives us a bowl of rice and hot dog slices or something similar. She gives us lunch every Tuesday :( but that's just part of the mission. and it made lunch in Salmourão THAT much better when we went there! the meat was cooked with cilantro and some other spices that i dunno what they are, and it was delicious!
We're teaching two families in Salmourão. One is a dad, a mom, a daughter and a son. Only the son has gone to the church. He loves it though. The dad can't stop, and doesn't want to stop, drinking coffee. The mom is great and is reading the Book of Mormon every day! But she needs to go to church! She has lots of excuses she uses to not go though.
This week we finally got a few new people at church. The problem is that 2 of them live in Salmourão and we can pretty much only go there on Saturday. So that's tough. The other lives here in the city. So we finally have some new people to work with that can actually be baptized soon.
I also stayed home sick yesterday for the first time in my mission! After church i started feeling really sick. We walked to lunch but by the time we got there I knew I shouldn't eat anything! So i didn't, I laid on their couch while Elder J. Silva ate and then we called sister Genaro. she told me that it was just cause of what I was eating (not that i doubt her but.. i don't think it was) so she said to go home and rest. It's terrible being sick on the mission!!! My first time and hopefully the last. Right at this moment my stomach still kind of hurts and my body aches but other that that I´m fine. The worst was having to throw up! I called the zone leaders to pass our districts numbers and shortly after I passed the numbers to them I went and threw up everything in my stomach! Which was luckily just water! Today for lunch I'll maybe try and eat some crackers cuz I'm starving (I haven't been able to eat since Sunday morning when I ate some crackers and chocolate milk)!
It's a bummer being sick but it's certainly gonna help me in my competition with Cydnee haha (losing weight)!
Well I hope you all have a great week. I love you all and thank you for your support.
Com Amor
Elder Haws
