Well, if you know the news about Minas Gerais you´ll know that it´s not good right now. So, a dam that was holding back a bunch of mercury contaminated water has burst, killing quite a few people and contaminating the entire water supply of a city bigger than the one I am in and my city has about 270,000 people. Since the mercury turned the water red people are comparing it to the plagues of Egypt and a couple of our investigators were talking about how Brasil is not being righteous and it will get worse. There is actually a possibility, sadly. There is another dam with 3 times the mercury and they say it already has a crack in it.
Want to hear something happier? We made pastels last p-day. they are kind of like fried hot pockets filled with meat and cheese. I really like them and like every Brazilian meal we had them with ketchup and coke... You thought I was going to say rice and beans, right? Well, generally it is one of the two sets.
You win some and you lose some. We lost some of our investigators this week due to them not wanting, not caring, or not being willing to act. The great thing is that We also gained some new investigators that have the desire, care about it, and want to change their lives. One of our investigators is really interesting and always has another random scripture in the bible that he wants us to try to explain. The problem is they are often taken out of context. It´s really hard to try to explain a random verse in revelation without sighting nearly every chapter before it.
So, we had our first real lightning storm and they were awesome. The lightning was giant and ran across the entire sky. One of the thunders was so big it sounded like a gun shot. The coolest part is that I even saw purple lighting. Is that normal? Half way thru I remembered that I left the window above my bed open. Luckily the rain was coming down in the other direction and didn´t come in through the window.
Randoms:
* A lot of people yell, "seguidores de Joseph Smith" at us
* Someone caught me off guard when they yelled, African!
