This week was actually pretty eventful. I hope I don´t forget anything important.
The first big thing that happened this week happened while we were knocking doors. We barely ever do that, but we had a little unplanned time. One of the doors we knocked on was interested to hear what we had to say. Unfortunately, like what normally happens, it was only girls. But while we were talking at the door step some members were walking by. We talked with them and they had time to go in and do a visit with us. I thought that was pretty cool.
The next day we had a split. I enjoy splits because they make you grow and realize how much you actually know. I still don´t know all the streets yet though. I was paired up with Elder Agiar who was being persistent in wanting to know exactly how we were going to get to the next location. Finally I just told him, it´s in about this direction and we will walk this direction until I feel wee need to turn. We only had to do a little backtracking.
We had 6 people staying in the apartment one night for zone conference. The conference was really good and I learned a lot, like being more confident in our invitations to act. After the conference we had interviews. This took about 4 hours and I was the last person to go out of 36. I took less then ten minuets. It was pretty much, how are you feeling? Good. Any problems right now? no. Anything you need to tell me? no. Are you happy? Yes. Well, if you´re happy I´m happy.
We also had a talent show this week and Barbosa and I did a duet of the song Glorious. It went really well until I forgot the words. I also forgot that only about 2 other people understand any English, so I should have just kept blabbing. I was able to jump back in and it ended up pretty well. There were quite a few singing acts and they were all in English. I was told by one of the girls that I was not allowed to comment on her pronunciation.
Randoms:
* Elder Barbosa is getting transferred, but I don´t know who will be my new companion yet
* Elder Barbosa got Glasses this week
* Two other people I know have also gotten glasses while here - I don´t want glasses
* For Thanksgiving here they have rice, beans and meat
* I found in the Portuguese English dictionary Benjamin means favorite son in Portuguese. The book has a lot of errors though.
