I cant believe how fast time is flying by! I have made it to 7 months in the mission! 7 months! I like this area and my companion so naturally the time is fying by even faster. I dont allow anyone to speak about transfers. I feel like it will curse everything.
This week was good. I fell a lot. One time down the stairs in our house and another time in the street with the elders. i think elder alvarenga is still laughing. How kind. Luckily I got up fast enough to cause attention. Unluckily im all bruised. Just when I thought i was growing out of my 21 year long klutzy stage.
Last sunday there was an announcement in church to clean the chapel. So being the charitable missionbaries we are we showed up at the chapel at 8 am (and forced the elders too) to join in the effort, to make a good appearance for the ward. We waited and then one man showed up. Just a normal ward member. So just the 5 of us cleaned the chapel. It was a bit frustrating that no one else made the effort but ther elders were smart and they made this notice and applied it to the bulletin board ( I attached the picture) It says " ward chapel cleaning 08/17- thank you for all your efforts!" and then a picture of the 5 of us. Im hoping the members will take it light heartedly!
I want to apologize for my horrible writing/sentence structure/spelling errors. I know its terrible but I dont have timne to edit. In other news, I speak in portuguese in my sleep! I have been for quite some time, I just forgot to mention it before. Pretty neat huh?
So the temple was nice last week. I got up early to do my hair. It looked lovely. then we walked in the rain on the bus in the train (I do not like green eggs and ham!) and It looked horrible when we showed up. Our money was supposed to come in that morning but it didnt. So we had to beg from other missionaries so we could get back home. And then a lovely little miracle happened. Sister Ribeiro was complaining about her hair in the bathroom and a woman from fortaleza who was a hairdresser just happened to be there! And she just happened to have time to do our hair! She made this lovely braid in sister ribeiros hair! then asked me if id like my hair down. I accepted. It was a poor choice. i think ALL the women in the temple were there watching as the really sweet kind woman was doing my hair. " you have such a beautiful face, wow such talent! yes the haiur is great but you two are so pretty! How neat!" so naturally I couldnt say anything as she teased and poofed and slicked my hair to my head. She used a whole bottle of hairspray. My hair looked wet. I looked like a big wet white rat. Ready for the prom! " Que Vergonha!" When all was down and everyone dispersed I ran into the bathroom stall, refusing to leave. My hair was past correction! what can you do with hair full of hairspray? NOTHING! So I did as much as i could, loosened it up enough to stop the piuniding in my brain and naturally when we left the temple all the elders in pour district were there waiting and laughing and ready to take pictures. I was mad. It was dramatic but frustrating! The picture with me and the sisters shows a little bit of what my hair was but trust me, it was worse. I washed my hair 4 times that night.
I think thats all the news I have for now. I love you. I miss you! Do whats right!
