so this week
had its ups and downs and have alot of little things to talk about. SO
after email last
Monday we went to subway and sent shopping. we found
this store called``Loga Americana`` and it was the closest thing to an American store. it had American food,toys, candy and a lot of other
random stuff. after our shopping experience we headed to Elton's for
PIZZA, Brazilian Style. and the only people who know what the pizza here
is, are the ones who served in Brazil.
Tuesday we went to Ticas for
lunch and Igor, a friend, was there. he is super funny and we just
chilled with him in the afternoon. at night we caught a glimpse of the
Peru vs. Brazil game for like ten minutes. the whole city shut down
because of it.
Wednesday we went to a members house that lives 45
minutes away walking but luckily we got a ride from out investigator so
that saved us some energy. and that afternoon we had a bible bash with
someone on the street and it was so stupid. it just made me
laugh.
Thursday Elder Rueda went to Cuiabá so we were a Trio again. We
spent the day in the other elders area and it was a great experience. we
had a meeting with the Branch mission leader but he never showed up. so
we went home and had an early night.
Friday was a fun day filled with
excitement. First of all we went to the Bus station at 3am to pick up
Elder Rueda. it was a long morning tha'ts all i am going to say. for
lunch we had BBQ and then went to the River walk to try something out. We went contacting around that area. in 3 hours we gave out 20+ Book of Mormon's and
20+ Finding Faith in Christ videos. In all we made 70+ contacts in 3
hours. it was a great experience. so after we treated ourselves to ice
cream.
Saturday was LONG. we had a 2 hour walk to a reference house and
it was hot and up hill. and it turned out they weren't home. but as we
were walking back, someone stopped us and wanted to talk to us. He was
baptized 3 or 4 years ago and and the missionaries never visited him
after that. So we visited with him and i think that's the reason we
walked 2 hours in the heat. we got a ride back into town and visited
with Arthur. that day was a long one.
Sunday was a relaxing day here and
ARTHUR came to church. He is scheduled to get baptized in the next week
or so!! we had lunch at his house and played UNO. Then we wen to Elton's
house to finish up the night.
Today after emails we are going to subway
and going to try to play volleyball. then we are going to Elton's for
dinner. well that's about it for this week.
I love you all and fell the
prayers in my life. i am having a hard time right now with but i know
through the Lord and all of your support, i can push through this. I
love you all once again and try to stay warm where ever you are at!!
With much love from the bottom of my heart.
Elder Browning
