I played frisbee the first time on the mission! Yeah it was not as fun, I played with Brasilians who didnt know the difference from a frisbee and a rock, and some noob Americans but it was WAY fun! And that same day I made mashed potatoes for the Zone. :) I learned a lesson I will never forget Sunday. It was fast and testimony meeting and during the meeting there was a lot of open time. So much that the bishop got up and had to give a little pep speech to everyone to bear their testimonies. I felt like I should go up but was afraid to with my portuguese. Anyway, after the meeting was over, ******* said to me, "Elder Vincent! Why didnt you bear your testimony??' Here I am a missionary, with this elite, and he was expecting to hear my testimony and there was a lot of open time and me being the missionary of the ward didnt bear my testimony. He was sad! He said he was almost going to bare his. It was his first sunday! Anyway I will never forget that and learn from it :) No worries though. At testimony meeting ***** (the family in the fight) got up and bore her testimony and said she was so greatful for the missionaries and started crying! (from when we helped her) It was very humbling but made me so happy! We had many investigators at church this week it was awesome. And some that said they weren't interested but now want to hear more. I climbed a Jaca tree to get a Jaca fruit for a member! they called me a macaco (monkey) haha they were like Elder are you sure you can climb this tree I was like oh please look at me. I didnt even get my clothes dirty! Jaca are bigger than watermelons and taste like watery bananas and hang from trees. The rain hits you like walls here, its sunny, and then you see a cloud and LITERALLY a wall of rain, it is sooo awesome that all you can do is stand and stare not caring that you will get drenched. Its more beautiful than almost anything in nature even rainbows. I never have time to get my rain jacket out before it hits thats how fast they are. We made some great head way this week with ****(the street contact with the dream) and Maria and Lucia (the references from Ana Sara) so that is really cool! This is the list to pray for:
