He got baptized! >:D
Truly this one was a miracle, because the likeliness that he would've accepted us to teach again was slim, let alone be baptized. Then, during the middle of the week, we got a call that he was going to early morning seminary, and that he wanted to be baptized. That very day, we arrived in his house, talked with him, and challenged him for the weekend. He accepted. \'o'/
Anyway, that's just the better news of the week. For the better part of this week, we did a lot of walking. In fact, we actually walked over to a neighboring city once. As well, we've been doing contacts in the dark, improvising on essential items (for cooking, sleeping, etc.), and talking to everybody. Unfortunately, very few people even pass us on the streets, so that doesn't get us very far.
Well, I guess if there's any moral for my story, never doubt anything. Even the things that appear impossible are highly probable when the Lord is on your side. Anyway, I've about written my mind dry today. Thanks for all of your support! It's nice to know I have a little fan club, somewhere.

Words of the week:
Português - faxina (fah-shee-nah) The weekly house cleaning. Usually people here save it for one day each week, and it's really rough.
Mission - só agua (soh ah-gwah) Means "just water." When we find people are already completely prepared by the Lord for baptism, we use this phrase. Other quirky ones are "just add water" and "nothin' but water." :P
