Hey Family!
It was great to skype with you guys this week as see your faces! As far as
celebrating Christmas, we had dinner with members Christmas eve and lunch with
members on Christmas day. Christmas isn't that big of a holiday here, and was
pretty low key.
This week was tough because many people didnt want to receive us and those
who did didnt want to mark return appointments until mid January. But we were
able to teach several awesome families. One man, Marcos, told us that he had no
idea why he invited us in, but that he just had a strange feeling that he needed
to hear what we had to say. This week I learned what the words "hot" and "humid"
really mean. I had already heard a lot about how hot it gets here in Sorocaba,
but you dont understand until youre actually here. Imagine walking in a
greenhouse/sauna at noon and then throw in a couple of space heaters and wear a
shirt, tie, and long pants. But when we are out in the heat we are blessed!
Yesterday we were walking down the street and one of our investigators, Paulo,
that we had lost contact with pulled up in his car and said that he was running
some errands but to meet him at his house later that day. If we had been in our
house napping or enjoying some shade in the nearby park we wouldn't have had
that opportunity!
It's so sad to hear about Ashton Riley. I'll keep him and his family in my
prayers.
Ate mais!
