THE ANTICIPATION
So we are quietly awaiting the transfer call to reach us. It should be getting to us here shortly so as of this point we have no clue if we will be staying together or not. This week was quite amazing. We have this family that wants to be baptized but the parents of the family aren't married. We went there on Thursday night and I gave a lesson about the 10 virgins and how them not being married is like them not having oil in their lamp. We marked a date of marriage with them and then baptism the day after that! The date is April 16 so I am pretty excited for me or whoever will be in this area on that date! We also had quite the bad expierence yesterday. There was this young lady at church that expressed desires to be baptized, so of course we marked to go to her house that day and teach and mark a baptism date with her. We get there and we discover that her older sister is the biggest snake I have ever seen in my entire life! Biggest because of size and because of how snakey she is. She was totally trying to get us to date her and everything and we pushed off those lousy attempts. She then had to go and get ready for work. Here in Brazil they have this custom to kiss people on the cheek when they are saying good bye. As missionaries we don't do that because of rules and such. She comes out and plants a big wet one on rGranges cheek as I try to take cover and she moves in close and plants a nasty wet one on my cheek as I was doing a face a lot like this one.... I was disgusted and left from that house afterwords spitting about every 2 steps because of my disgustedness. I never again will go into that house if that nasty lady is there ever again! This I promise!
Hope all is well back home and everyone had a good week!
