We had a baptism and a confirmation this week of an 18 year old, named Mateus. That was pretty cool. We had exchanges this week. I went to São José da Mata with Elder Morón. We walked a lot. In total this week, 142346 steps, or about 85.4 KM. I exchanged back and had a very rough day, my body was protesting all day long but it was a pretty good day. We walked a lot. We don't have a lot of investigators right now, so that's what this coming week is about. One really cool thing they do here is "noite familiar" or family night. The members host it and we bring our investigators. There's at least two every week. We share a quick message and then we just play games and eat food. It's really fun and it helps to integrate the investigators into the ward. Sunday morning, I thought we were going to pick up a couple investigators close to the church and then be inside for a while so I didn't put sunscreen on to waste it. Then it turned out that we walked for about 3 KM in the direct sun to try to pick someone up who wasn't even there. I got sunburned a bit but I have learned my lesson and I will always put on sunscreen, even if I don't think I need it. The sun burn isn't too bad but it is a little warm. I also learned how to play a fun game called "trucu" that's a Brazilian classic. It's pretty fun. It kind of reminds me of bridge but it's a lot easier.
Until next week, I leave my love!
