Oi familia. I'll be right quick cause I've used up a lot of time reading two weeks of emails and companions dont like when you take forever. But the work is good. Big news, new transfer, I have a new companion, but I stayed in my same area. His name is Elder Coimbra, a brazilian. So hear goes the portuguese adventure. I think Pai Celestial blessed me by breaking me in little by little. But it will be interesting being the one who is more familiar with the area, members e tudo... Sucks though cause it is HARD to find your way around here and Elder Brown lost our map! Oh well, just do what you can.
An ice cream store had a TV with simpsons playing, and it was SO weird with the portuguese voices, and I realized thats how like all movies are for them... I saw some kids playing the sport Cricket in the street which about made my day, that people know how to play that I thought it was awesome. Everybody calls out to us 创oi allemao, fala ingles创 , hey german speak english. Which doesnt make sense, and I dont know what the big deal is with germany, everyone thinks we are german or italian, and their third guess is american. But the kids ask us to speak english all the time, and I wont lie I havent done this yet but I will, When they ask me to Speak English, I'll talk the lyrics to the final song in grease, we go together, right before the instrumental... 创baby it might be wah ah uh wah ah uuah, rama rama rama ga dinga da dingadong, shoo bop shooa dowop a hippity boom de boom, CHANG CHANG, changity chang chibop, dip de dip de dip shoo bop a dooby doo, boogy boogy boogy boogy shooba do wop do wop, clama rama rama, ga dinga da dinga a dong a womp baba doo bop A WOMP BAM BOO!!!! (saxophone) Remember that part? As of right now I just call them to repentance in english..
But good news, we had a baptism Sunday! a fifteen year old boy, he is good. Neither of us baptised him, a member did but it was good. Douglas. We marked a heap of people for dates but then only two came to church so this Sunday we are shooting for 3! Another mission experience made me think of the question, Where is the line between Sharting and pooping your pants? YA.... Only 6 weeks in the field and it happened. Shart.. Luckily we were on our way home, and luckily I held my diarrea until we got there. But hey Im well, Love the work. Love the gospel! I love you guys. and miss you all.
Elder Michael
