Week 83- Power out
Well this week... We lost power for the whole week! So a lot of issues with that like spoiled food and we had to clean out our fridge and other things with that. I got sick at the end and my companion got a toothache! Oh and we had interveiws with our President! Oh and I went to the dentist and I will have to return on the 25th to start fixing it and it will be 150 dollars! Sooooo yeah that was my week! Haha but it should be a better week this week! At least I really hope so!

Week 82- no dentist yet
Weekly update! I did not go to the dentist. I was not actually marked. My companion that was going home was and they said while he was in I could do it. Well he is not here.... so I did not know if they would let me do it so I called and scheduled for this week. So you will get an update on that one next week!
It is quite interesting with my mini, he pretty much only speaks kriol. And sometimes he does not understand my portuguese so I have to speak kriol. Haha he gets mad when I do not understand his kriol but he uses a ton of gangster slang. But it is fun with him and we have quite a bit of awesome people that we are teaching. Also my companion I do not think has ever been without someone to take care of him. I feel like mom whenever I made her cook or clean up after me. But I have learned on the mission that is one thing I do not mind as long as they are chill about it. He cleans too just sometimes does random things like leaving garbage in the sink. Or heating up the lunch I made then leaving it out. Sister Mathews said something to me the other week. She said I bet you never thought you would learn so much about being a dad on the mission.... It is soooo true.
It is a good thing that I like this branch because I will be here for at least 8 more weeks! Because I will have Elder Teixeira (my mini) until the end of this transfer and I will stay at least one more to show the area to my new companion.
I am glad the birthdays all went well... but I did not receive a single photo. I am upset. And do not say I did not send any. I am well aware I am a hypocrite. But be the bigger people and send me pics!
Love you all!

Week 81- Lots of companions
Well this weeks email will be quite a bit different from what you are probably expecting! So my companion.... went home. He had about 4 months on the mission and had decided a few times that he wanted to go home but other missionaries or President Mathews talked to him and he decided to stay. In fact it happened two weeks ago but he decided to stay. Then this week I tried to get him to do a practice and he got mad at me and decided he wanted to go home and this time it ended up happening. So he went home the next day and I had a member from here scheduled to my companion but he decided not to at the last minute. So I went with some other missionaries for a few days. It was Elder Massey ( we came in together) and Elder Neville (his training was finished by Elder Zuniga so he is technically my step brother as far as mission stuff with trainers and what not goes.) It was fun but a bit annoying not being in my area for a few days. Then I finally got another member from here to be my companion for the rest of the transfer. His name is Elder Texeira. If you have been counting along with me I am up to 14 companions. I think the Lord is telling me that people can not stand being with me for a long time. And that I will probably never get married.
We are working a lot with the families of members right now and it is a lot of fun seeing them be brought together and help each other. We have like 4 or 5 families like that.
For the fourth of july I just cleaned my house a ton. We did not play soccer because some people had to prepare things for some meetings for this week. I did go to an american store and I found some cool spices and a lot of things I want for cooking but it is all expensive!
I think that is it for this week! I love you all! Happy early birthdays for P, Ori, Ryland, Cade, and the rest. So many in our family haha.

Week 80- Dentist appt
Hey peoples. Happy 1 month anniversary Chum and Kelsie. If they do not have a couple name yet I say we use Chumsie. It sounds like a cute little puppy.
Due to the wisdom teeth we were not able to work as much this last week but we still got out and taught some people. But the downside was that most of our investigators that were doing really good and progressing and keeping commitments either disappeared last week or stopped keeping them! One reason was last week was the week of graduations here so hopefully now that it is over those people should be easier to find. But some of the other ones just are choosing a different path but they are so much more sad then when they were doing the right things. It is one of the hardest parts of this work!
But we are working with the family of one of our recent converts. He is awesome and he is helping us with his siblings and with his help I am sure that they will accept the message.
Well that is my week! Love you all!

As for my week. I will start with the dentist information. First off my companion and his wisdom teeth. So we went and they took one tooth out and he came out. And then we found out he can only have one of the 4 teeth pulled about every two weeks. So we have the joy of returning and he will have the fun of having one tooth missing for like a month! I marked to have my tooth looked at the next time that he will go in, which is on the 6th of July. So I will give you an update the week after that with my tooth situation!
