For all of you who didn't watch the World Cup, you missed out. It was pretty crazy. Germany won over Argentina with a beautiful cross to a goal. Let's see, 106964 steps or 64.17 KM. On Tuesday, Brazil played Germany and got totally smashed, 7-1. And everyone here thinks that I'm a German, so that was fun. Thursday, we had training with the Assistants, which was actually pretty fun. We talked about how sometimes, we get focused on what we do, instead of why we do it. I thought it was quite good because it could also be applied to life. At times, we get trapped in the "what" of life but we need to step back and think of why we do those things and if we actually need to do them. Then we went on exchanges. I went with Elder Williams, an assistant, and Elder Chivers went with Elder Morais, a zone leader. They went looking for new people and we went to talk with some investigators. Mirela told us "Look, I know that your church is right and I don't actually agree with everything in my church but I'm not going to change." I was pretty sad. They found quite a few new people but I haven't really talked to any of them. They're always like, "Oh, sorry, I'm busy, could you stop by another time?" We stopped by one man's house but he was busy, so we marked a new appointment for the next day, then he wasn't there, so we passed by on Sunday to walk with him to church and he told us, "What, do you not have any one else to visit other than me? I don't want you to ever come to my house again. I hate your church. I listen to evangalical music." He went inside and we moved on. This morning, we payed soccer with other missionaries for about 3 hours. It was really fun but now I'm tired and it was raining when we started but then it got really sunny, so I'm a bit burnt now. That's about it from me. I always appreciate the letters you guys send me.
Love and stuff!
