Monday, January 23rd - Monday, January 30th

Uhm I don't feel like writing a whole ton so sorry. 

More or less we had a good week. Baptized again and are teaching real hard. Learning a really complex Brazilian card game from Elder Menezes. And yeah I don't know much more. We have a plan for a family home evening this night with a less active. Oh and I learned that you can buy watermelon for a dollar! Heck yeah! I want some!

I got to see my old comp at the baptism and yeah cool.

Love ya all. Cya

******************************

Some additional info sent in emails to the family

* We had a baptism this week - her name was Oneyda and she is the recently married wife of a member. It's funny. Most missionaries have 3 weddings in their mission but at the end of this transfer (if all goes to plan) I will have had 5 Weddings in my first 3 transfers. Also, Elder Alfaro got special permission to come back and perform the baptism - so that was cool to see him again.

* There was a Worldwide Missionary Training Broadcast this week and some new changes were made. The biggest change I have seen (and that affects me the most) is we now get to sleep in until 7:30am!! and we are to be in bed by 11pm (before it was up at 6:30am and bed by 10pm)... These are the changes in Latin America since they stay up later here (and we typically weren't having dinner before 9pm)

* Today (Pday) - Lemus, Price, Menezes and I went to the house of a member and played cards and cooked lunch. Then helped the sister missionaries move their houses.

* I'm also learning piano at the lunch appointment we have now. so that's super cool. We are having lunch with our ward pianist each day. I'm starting from the basics and the notes. And it's more or less some of the children hymns that are more slow and simple.

Also Elder Price taught me the only thing that he knows. Handlebars (the song dad knows what it is same with ben and August.) So I can play that!

* Question we asked Seth: "What did you feel best about doing this week?"

We had another baptism and we had 2 Confirmations. So it feels good doing work! We were 2 of the 5 Baptisms our Zone had in the month of January.
