Well this last week was pretty interesting. Let`s start with some interesting things:
1. We were invited to a class where one of the general authorities was
teaching the lesson. He was talking about how we are supposed to do
blessings and ordinances and while he was teaching it he would turn to
us and ask us the how the certain prayer was to be said. Oh man am I
glad that I use my study time wisely.
2. We
washed a dog this week and we washed him in the shower. With no lease
or collar and he`s a huge dog. Bigger than mine back at home and my
companion wanted to just control the water and shampoo. So guess who was
stuck in the shower with the dog trying to keep him in the water. This
guy.
3. I had a talk this week where I got to
choose my topic. So I decided to talk about charity. Well I had the opportunity to see the reaction on my companion`s face while I was
the giving my talk. I will say that it didn't look very good and the
more I talked the worse his face looked. At the end of the meeting we
were talking and I asked him why he reacted like that. Well he told me
that, that was exactly what the ward needed and that I burned them really
bad. I wasn't really trying but I did. Score!
Well
this transfer was really good. I won`t say it was perfect but it was
really good and I think this transfer I learned tons. Especially about
the language. I can practically speak fluently. Now I don`t know a lot of
the words but I can get by. My companion is leaving and I am getting
another companion for this next transfer of three weeks. President will
be leaving at the end of this transfer and we will be receiving our new Brazilian president, President Amato.
I miss you tons,
Elder Garbett
