Week 10

Hey everyone!
This week was kinda tough. We weren't able to teach many lessons, and we didn't have anyone in church, despite all of our efforts this week. And we don't have any investigators progressing. But there's good weeks and weeks that aren't so great, and I think that Satan tries to discourage missionaries right before something great is going to happen, so we'll keep our chins up, work hard, and expect an amazing week ahead of us!
 
An upside of this week is that our branch has been very helpful and we've done several splits with various members. This allows us to visit more people as well as gives our investigators the chance to talk to someone from the church that isn't a missionary and hear their testimony as well.
 
Funny Experience in Learning Portuguese: I was offering one of our recent converts, Joao, a cookie that was chocolate and cherry flavored, which in portuguese is "chocolate e cereja". However, I asked him if he wanted a "chocolate e cerveja" cookie, which being translated is "chocolate and beer".
 
Next week on Wednesday (november 6th) is transfers. It's likely that either Elder Ahmed or I will be transferred, but nothing is for sure. We find out next Monday, but probably not before Preparation Day is over, so you'll probably be finding out the next Monday.
Nobody here knows whats wrong with my camera, but I'll try to take it to a tech service store and get that sorted out today, so I can (hopefully) send pictures next week.
