Dear family,
This week was pretty good. Not good in the sense of people getting baptized and or confirmed, but it was good to really thrust in the ole sickle with my might. This week I did a division with Elder Melo. He´s a friend of Michael´s from the CTM and pretty much the Regina George of the Brasil Curitiba mission. Anywho we were walking through the streets of the dirty dirty and as we approached a house to clap it, this dog left the shade of the fence and started looping behind us. Right when we clapped hands this dog started going crazy and barking ferociously and approaching us like we were a couple of T-bone steaks. Not being a general lover of dogs, nor wanting to get bitten by this one, I bent down to pick up a (imaginary) rock. This dog got scurred and started high tailing it out of there, continually barking at us in the exact moment that a car came cruising up the street. Elder Melo was like, "AAH it´s gonna get hit!" and even though the driver honked and slammed on the brakes it was all too little too late. The dog got SMACKED by the car and after bouncing a good three or four times got up and ran off in the other direction. I´ve never laughed so hard in my LIFE!!!! It was SOOO funny! I was in this laugh attack when a teenager who was in the front yard of the house we were going to (and also watched the events unfold) came up to the gate and said, "That´s the third time that same thing has happened to that dog." ha ha ha making me laugh even more. It was awesome!!!!!!
Other than that this week has been another of toughness. Some elects saying that they don´t want to be baptized anymore, many others just not going to church. Just your same old same old missionary frustrations. But not all is sad and dreary in Curitiba. Just yesterday I went to the office where I received a PACKAGE from Natalie and Nate with a profesh family Christmas card and SKITTLES and American Deodorant!!! It was masterful. THank you Natalie and Nate.
Well, there´s not a whole lot more to write about seeing as everybody is saving email stories and questions for the Christmas skype Sunday at 4:15ish Brasil time (11;15 Utah time, 1:15 NYC time).
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night
Love,
Elder Gagon
