Carnival!!

Oi everybody! This week was incredible!! We taught a lot, and talked with everyone. Sister Sanders and I are working real hard, and we were blessed for our efforts. Yesterday, three people went to church, and another rapaz named Giovanne went too. After church, the other set of sisters in our ward talked to him and he said that he wanted to be baptized. So now, we are teaching him, and he has a date to be baptized for March 16! It´s amazing how little simple things like a contact on the street or a pass along card can make a big difference. 

Sister Sanders and I found out this week that we´re related! So that´s cool. Now, when everybody asks if we´re sisters, we can respond that we´re cousins hahaha. It´s kinda funny how people think that all of us blond Americans are the same person or related. 

This week is going to be a little more difficult and slower in the missionary work because of Carnival. Thankfully, we can still work, but we have to be back home 6pm for a few days. With today being p-day that means that we won’t work at all. Up until now, it hasn´t been too crazy on the streets, but it´s better to be safe than sorry. Maybe that´s because it´s been kinda rainy. We´ve heard a lot of crazy stories about Carnival, so maybe next week I´ll have a weird story, but I hope not. 

But in exciting news about the work, we´re going to have a baptism this week!! I don´t remember if I already wrote about him, but he is awesome! He´s just 19 years old, but he´s very sincere and excited to learn. He´s the kind of person that says he´ll do something, and then he´ll actually do it! 

I love you all and hope that you have a fantastic week!
