Well, on Tuesday I took my first step towards becoming a clown!!! I learned the basics to juggling!!!! I don´t know if that´s something to be proud of or not, but hey. Every skill is important! We went to a city called São Lourenço do Sul (It´s very pretty, look it up) to have our district meeting and distrito amigo. We got our lunch from a bar because it was cheap well. We found out why it´s so cheap. While we were waiting a rat ran through the lobby then we went back to the church to eat and there was hair in 2 of them... Though I enjoyed it and it was only 5 R$ So I won´t complain!   My campanion and i slept there with Elder Xavier and Elder Holloway and I took a little bit of a beating while we practiced some Jiu Jitsu.

Wednesday we went  back to Pelotas and spent a couple of hours with Diego we saw the ``Beach`` here in Pelotas and saw his boat... Ya, they have a lot of money. We then had our first lesson with Carol. A 13 year old girl that lives with her mom and grandpa who are less active members. Carol went to church a couple of weeks ago so we talked to her and got her address because... She´s not baptized. :) We taught her the Resturation and it was a really good lesson. We invited her to be baptized and she accepted, though we didn´t mark a day. After the lesson her G-PA took us to the door and talked to us. He said that she wanted to be baptized a couple of months ago when her aunt was here from Salvador (Active member) but didn´t because she needed to know more about the church, she hadn´t ever taken the lessons before.

Thursday we planned our activity for the 10th of May and... I don´t remember what else happened. oops.

Friday we talked to Diego again. but once again he was getting ready to leave. His dad sends him out of the city every weekend to keep him out of trouble (Alcohol and drugs) So that makes it hard for him to go to church. He´s been once in my time here. Though I forgot to mention on wednesday he gave each of us a chocolate bar for Easter. :D We then went to Carol´s taught here the 3rd lesson (Gospel of Jesus Christ) And marked her baptism for the 10th of May, last week of the transfer!

Saturday we had a churrasco with The stake President and Izabel again. They´re super nice people. Also we found out that Carol went to the youth activity during the cday that I didn´t even know was happening. Not exactly sure who invited her but also not going to complain!

Sunday we had church, we got a ride for Carol with the Patriarch but I was pretty sure that we were going to die on the way. He´s old and kinda crazy but, we survived!!!!  We had a churrasco with Elton and Patricia... (I need a meat break) (we had one marked for today but, glad it didn´t happen) We went to Carols and talked to her mom and her grandpa about the baptism. They both said that the only thinging faulting were the lessons. They both support the baptism and confirmed their presence there. Her Grandpa wants to give a 2-5 minute talk at it. haha. We then went to Bebeco´s (Ward mission Leader) But the investigator didn´t go, again. But, at least he´s trying, right?

I`m bummed that Jordans call didn´t come but at the same time happy because I wanted to change my guess for where he´ll go... I´m going with... The deep south, more specifically Alabama... Go ahead and put that one in the books!

I love you all!!! See ya soon! (kinda)
