Rain and other stories

This week was awesome. And it flew by like crazy. So many random things to say let`s see if I can fit it all in. I had my first dream in Port. They say when you have your first dream in Port it`s all good, so I`m pretty excited. Last Tuesday we had a family night with a member and Kimberly. It was good unitl the members mom came and was going on about how the blacks don`t have power becasue of the church and (Kimberly and I are black.. this woman is not) and was like it`s ok though becasue you girls are still daughers of God... I was just sitting there with my jaw on the floor. Thank goodness for my companion who took over the day and threw down the most powerful testimony I`ve ever seen in my life and the lady shut up real quick it was awesome. And super funny. So Rafelas kids she has four raging in ages 3 to 7. And they are super funny and crazy. The only way to keep them quiet when we are teaching is to let them "do our hair" so one who was sitting behind me was like did you use shampoo today? I said no, then he grabbed a cup that I was drinking from and was like ok well I`m going to wash your hair.. but just as he was putting his hands in my hair his mom screamed NO. There was still juice in the cup that was now in my huge giant hair. It happens. We all laughed pretty hard. So there is this problem we have with members. They are always giving us references but these references are people that really don`t want to here from us. So we went to this lady Ladymar three times she was never home. Everytime the member would be like what happen she was waiting for you with cake tal tal tal (the Brasilian way to say blah blah blah) anyway we go there the fourth time and she is crazy and was like I was hiding from you these last three times you guys passed by tal tal tal. And was super rude. We were like ok cool you don`t want to talk with us but you don`t have to be a bruxa about it. So I bought us some icecream becasue we were feeling pretty rundown. But the next day was awesome. We found this ex-investiagtor from the Elders. She moved but her dad said were to find her. We went to the house and it was heaven. Her grandma has a clothing store on the main avenue. And she has all these black aunts that do hair and are super funny. It was like being in the movie "Beauty Shop" but in Port it was so much fun I loved it. We are working on getting them all baptized hair and all... So Sao Paulo has weather really wierd. It`s spring right now but flippin hot and then it will just start raining in the middle of the street. It is crazy. And our umbrellas broke.. opps. It was fun. Somewhat like singing in the rain.. but not. This week was awesome. I love my companion and I love working with her she is a powerhouse but we laugh a lot. It is so much fun. The days are flying by.

Powerhouse Scripture of the Week

Matthew 11:28-30

29. Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden and I will give you rest.

30. Take my yoke upon you and learn of me, for I am meak and lowly in heart. And ye shall find rest unto your souls.

31. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.

In the PORT Bible they use the word suave for easy. So when we take the name of Christ upon us our burdens become suave through him because after all it was he who suffered for all our burdens in the Garden of Gesthame. Remember that this week... Your burdens to him are suave and light...

Have a great week gente, te amo.
