So this week has been quite interesting and fast to say the least. We had two lunch dates fall throw two days in a row. So that was hard not to get all mad and upset about. But luckily Sandra who I love with all my heart hooked it up for one of the meals. She is a chef so it`s always good at her house and she said whenever we don`t have food we can come on over so we did. It was great. The next day the Irma forgot so we had to wait for an hour for her to bring us money. I was so hungry i wanted to kick someone but then it was all good. We went to our staple restaurant Tempero Manero which is like a Fresh Choice so it all worked out.
And then Tuesday when we took the brownies to Elder Bird he was so excited they turned out really good we worked dang hard on those brownies and we sang to him. The happy birthday song here is super rad i still need to learn it but i love it.
So Sis. K. has her IPOD and she had awesome church music and other classical music and church talks on it. So get this she loves Celtic Women. So we dance in our house every morning while we brush our teeth to The Butterfly by Madreid so awesome I love it. We got home one night and i was like hey let`s make pancakes and she was like ok I will make the syrup that is what i love about her she is up for anything we burnt the heck out of the pan but it was worth that yummy pancakes so so good. Here they only have salty pancakes so that was a nice change.
Vanessa who is a new member is pregnant and had a baby shower at the church we got to go to that. The baby shower was lame i was like ok next time i`m planning the baby shower hahaha but it was good becasue she has very little money and got a lot of the big items diapers and all that jazz. Little Joao Victor will be here any day now. It is so sad that we can`t hold him when he comes but it`s all good.
So people love us and always want us to come over for FHE which i am totally down for. We have awesome families in the ward. So we made tacos and guacamole with Flavia family. They were like umm what but super excited. It was so funny to watch them try it and then they were like NOSSA this is so good. Umm ya it is. They don`t have Mexican food here so they where eating it up.
A few days later we had lunch with Flavia and she told us earlier we were going to have lasagna and i was pumped i love the lasagna here because they don`t use ricotta cheese. So we get there and it was a BBQ i was like oh ok sweet. Here mom was there from Rio and Barrak Obama was on the TV they were like do you know him, umm no hahahah. Then Daniel her husband brought in some meat from the grill. It was a bunch of different meats. They were like hey go ahead and eat. So i just grabbed some meat and it tasted weird but i was like hmm whatever. So Flavia is like hey did you like the fígado? I was like that what? Then she liked walked away. And Sis. K. was like ohh that`s what that was. I WAS STARTING TO PANIC. I was like what what is it. She was like i will tell you later i was like tell me know. She was like you just ate liver. Did she just say LIVER!!! OH MY LAND. Well luckily my gag relfex is gone these days and i just said ohhh and tried not to cry ahahahha. It was crazy. At least it was BBQ instead of like liver and onion style. But at BBQ here liver is very popular but now i know...
So i started bringing my family photo album with me in my boca because people get mad when they can`t see pictures of my family and the overall statement is "oh your mom is black huh?" haahhah it`s the same here as in the states and i say no and they are like how she has a black nose and lips so funny.
I`m not sure if i said this or not but here you don`t knock door you either call the persons name or clap. That took a while to get use to but now i am super Brazilian at it hahah i even get complements ahahhaahah.
Well Noemi is progressing really well. We taught her the WOW and she has no and i mean NO problems with it. Then we were so happy we threw down the law of Chasity no problems either so is amazing i love love love her and cannot wait for her baptism. Maria and Manuel are doing great. Maria has been putting up a fight since day one but we went and picked them up for church yesterday and they took us in the car and they loved it. I knew that once she came to church it would change her. And it did oh man it was awesome.
On Saturday night Sandra had a birthday party for her son Juan who turned 9 and invited us to come. We went for like half an hour thinking there would be people to talk to. But it was just a bunch of crazy kids. And they were listening to music and it was in English it was some rap song. And the chours was like "I`m in Miami B..." and i was like hmm so i told Sis. K because she just didn`t hear it and she was like oh dear. Sandra saw our faces and was like what what happen and we told her and she was like oh and went in the living room and was like the sisters said this song has a bad word and turned it off and Juan was mad. We were like dang. It is so funny because we were just talking about how we don`t want to be those types of parents that are like total party poppers for there kids and then boom and she said our names and everyone was mad. But then i saved the day and said do you have any Justin Bibier and he was so happy. Thank goodness then we were cool again.
The weather has been amazing i love it i can walk for miles when it`s like this. Oh and next Saturday we are starting English classes so will be fun hahahah. I`ll let you know how that goes. We have 2 baptism dates set for the first weekend of April pray that they follow through for us.
