I would break the week up into days, but it's all pretty much the same. Wake up, go to breakfast, go to classes, go to lunch, go to gym, go study for a bit, have dinner at 4 (that's our scheduled time), more classes, more studying, and then sleep. That is pretty much every day. So I'll just run over some highlights.
We finished teaching our first investigator but we're going to get two more tomorrow. Also, we get to meet our second teacher tomorrow, which will be nice. Sunday was very good. I went to a devotional about the gorilla of missionary work. Have any of you seen that video of two teams throwing a couple basketballs around and you have to count how many times one team passes it? And then in the middle of the video a man in a gorilla suit dances for a second and walks off. About half the people who watch that video don't notice the gorilla. The devotional was all about how missionaries need to not be so focused on the details, like prayer and reading the Book of Mormon. They're both essential but they're not the reason we're out there. The reason we're teaching is to bring others to Christ. I thought that was good. Pretty much the only other highlight would be the temple trip today. The Provo temple opened yesterday so I was glad I could go today. I think that's it.
One thing I don't like about Portuguese: Implied subjects. You conjugate the verb for a subject but then you don't need the pronoun, which makes it very confusing to me.
