Olá!!! This week was great! Sister Selman and I worked until
we died. There were a few times this week that we had so many lessons planned
that we had to teach two at the same time. Sister Selman would teach one at one
end of a bench and I would teach one at the other end. It was fantastic!
So I'll be staying in Póvoa for another transfer but not
with Sister Selman :( But I'm going to be a mom!! :D I'm going to finish
training a sister named Sister Warren. I think she's from the USA but I'm not
sure... It will be fun!
This week a prank war started in between one of our recent
converts and the Sisters. It started when Telo (the recent convert) put ketchup in my shoes while we were
teaching his wife. I was wearing sandals and was so focused on Catia that I didn't
even notice that he squirt this big ol wad of ketchup in my shoes. Then when I
stood up the ketchup was cold and squished all over my toes! I about fell over
because it was slippery! Then I tried to chase Telo down but he ran laughing
like a 12 year old boy who is annoying his older sister. So I went to the
bathroom while his whole family laughed and laughed. But Telo had turned off
the water!! Then I decided to get my
revenge and I hid his backpack in the church a few days later. he didn't find it for about 2 hours. Then,
knowing that I had hidden it, he took a big bucket of water and tried to dump
it over my head while we were teaching English Class in the church!
Then I managed to get a hold of his phone, wallet, and keys
while he was hiding in the secretary's office and Sister Selman and I tried to
run home so he would be stuck at the church alone. But he caught up to us and
stole my name tag. We had a stubborn stand off where I wouldn't give him his
phone and he wouldn't give me my nametag.
Let's just say its war now... Any of you that know me had
better warn Telo! Haha
Also on Saturday we were using the buses quite a bit and
every time we got on the bus it was the same bus driver. After the third time
in a row he shouted "You guys are following me!! Well I just gotta give
you a hug because we're family now!" And then he reached over and grabbed
Sister Selman in the most awkward hug ever but she tried to protest and pull
away which pulled the bus driver out of his chair and he fell on to the floor
of the bus, still clinging to Sister Selman. I about died laughing and the nearly
full bus laughed too. We helped him up and gave him a pass along card. He was
cool! Making friends wherever we go! Haha
We found this sign this week... It is a road called
"Turn from the Shower". It's funny. hehe.
We also found this gem knocking doors.... "Propoganda
religiosa aqui não" means "Here there is no religious proselytizing."
It reminded me of those southern signs you'd find in the USA.
We also found another door sign that says "Jesus te
ama" Which means Jesus loves you!! How sweet ^_^
Also the church flooded. Oops. We helped mop up water for 2
or 3 hours. It basically turned into a disney song sing off. :) *insert Tangled
song*
