I just need to keep esperança.
This week was just okay for the work. We definitely had some highs and lows. This past p-day was just Elder Barbosa and I. We actually cleaned our apartment. It´s a lot better now. A little info on the apartment. First off, we don´t have a dryer. This means we have to plan more about when to wash our clothes. I forgot to wash my lights soon enough and was forced to wear a long sleeve shirt. I´ve actually done this twice, I´m wearing one right now. We then have to hang our clothes to dry. I´m going to be really good at ironing after staying here because when I hang the shirts out to dry they get all wrinkled and I have to iron everything.
We have lots of walking to do and the hills here feel endless. Also, we had some extremely hot days this week. It was so bad that I had to hold my plate out in front of me to keep sweat from dripping on to my food. All this and it´s only spring right now.
We have a few rays of sunshine with a few investigators and ward activities, but we also had a bunch of fake contacts this week. They make you walk for a mile to an address that dosen´t exist. I would rather they just say that they're not interested.
About Elder Barbosa. He´s a nice guy and loves ketchup. He puts it on his sandwiches and on his pizza. Apparently it´s a normal thing to put ketchup on your pizza here. I can kind of understand it because there is next to no sauce on them. Also, the strangest type of pizza I´ve heard about is mozzarella and chocolate.
Elder Barbosa had a migraine one day, so I just studied for a long time. I am now in Mosiah in my reading of the Portuguese Book of Mormon
Randoms:
* As we were walking home one night we were passed by a double decker bus completely covered in neon and blasting music.
* Last night there were fireworks and an eclipse. It was pretty fun to watch.
* We are supposed to have 8 missionaries staying in our house tonight in preparation for zone conference.
* The are quite a few fires here (nearly every day), but they are all rather small. I feel like I´m back in Vacaville.
