Hey everyone!
This week was a tough one here in Julio de Mesquita. Our baptism date fell
through again and we had a hard time finding many new people to teach. The
people here are a lot less open as the people in Itapetininga. There it was rare
to be turned down, but here we'll go the entire day just trying to talk to
people and only teach 1 or 2 lessons. But we'll keep working hard to find the
people that are willing to receive us!
In other news, we should be getting our beds and desks today, so I'm
excited for that! You dont realize how nice it is to have a bed and table until
you eat, sleep, and study on the ground every day for 4 weeks. Another blessing
that I'm becoming very greatful for is electricity. Our power went out yesterday
and has yet to come back on, so its been flashlights, no iron, microwave, no
fans, and no washing machine for the last 24 hours. Last time this happened in
this area it was out for 3 days, so we're praying hard for it to come back on!
The worst part of this is the no fans part because it's been ridiculously hot
this last week. It was more than 100 outside and 90 inside because air
conditioning doesnt really exist here. Basically you just dont ever stop
sweating. I'm still trying to figure out who chose to build a city here. But as
usual, the heat is a blessing and most people are willing to bring us a cup of
water and will usually ask us what in the world we are doing out in the sun. But
as always, Heavenly Father is mindful of our trials and so it's been raining all
morning so hopefully things will cool off a little.
Thats all I've got for now, ate mais!
Love, Elder Carr
