Elder Ginatto and I have been working to get some baptisms for this coming weekend, and I've been having a pretty good time working with him. Just one thing: We are constantly out of our house so much, on p-day and every day, that I hardly ever have a shred of time to get handwritten letters to you guys :( Last p-day was NUTS, and didn't work out for any sort of letter-writing. Seriously, just SOME of the things that happened:
-We ended up not taking the bus and walking an hour to downtown (our bad)...in the sun...
-We all got sunburned
-We all ended up spending way too much of our budget while in downtown.
-The coconut water guy hustled us for double the normal price in downtown (Dude, you gotta understand that coconut water is amazing. Not a good feeling to get hustled for it).
-Elder Gross (who lives in the house with us) lost the keys to the house.
-Elder Ginatto sprained his ankle.
And so we all ended up just kind of dissatisfied with p-day when we got home. Actually, we were actually kind of happy about it. It was kinda one of those moments where you failed so miserably, failed so utterly, that it just makes you feel like laughing. Like when Loki challenged Hulk. Or like when Leia kissed Luke (actually that wasn't funny). Or like white people that like to play basketball, or beatbox, or break dance. Just makes me cackle healthily every time I think about it.
And this p-day we discovered a SAM'S CLUB in our area, and we all took advantage! Elder Ginatto got a membership car today, and so we all headed over and spent all we could afford. Carefully observing the pictures I'm sending, you'll see the MOUNTAIN of Froot Loops we bought, that we got from a sale they were having. They were selling big boxes of Froot Loops for 30 CENTS! So we actually ended up almost filling the cart with just that.
And I also found out this week that Dad called into the mission office, and actually ended up talking to one of my ex-companions, Elder Roberto. He said he got the jist of what you were trying to say, and understood that you WEREN'T trying to get me to come home early:) That's gotta be a tough phone call when one end only speaks Spanish and English and the other end only speaks Portuguese:)
Alright, things are going AWESOMELY out here, I'm loving Jacintinho!
And I LOVE you guys!
More than missionaries love Froot Loops:)
Bye!
