Wet Season

I once heard the phrase "Rain or sweat, always wet." At the time I thought it ridiculous, but now I'm starting to see otherwise.

This weeks history get's a little interesting. In the first place, the entire week was getting freezing cold. The air basically turns into fog, and everyone starts walking around in coats, except for Elder Angus. Quite a few people ask me why I'm not cold in a short sleeve shirt, so I use the opportunity to explain where I'm from and why I'm here. That's the upside. The downside is that the houses aren't built for winter conditions, so the outside and inside are about the same. That, and it rains a lot. (Thank goodness for Hot Chocolate) 

For some time now we've been teaching a man named Roni. His story is interesting, in the fact that we don't know it. I talked to him the first day I was here in Rio Pardo, and I thought that he was really a character. He lives on the street, but he has the intelligence of the Pope and Bill Gates together. He also claims to be a prophet and can see the past of anyone (accept for members of The LDS Church). Although he seemed like the strangest or most unlikely person who'd accept the gospel, he's been wonderful. He's still a little different, but at this point in time, he's already prayed about the Book of Mormon and read it through, as well as all of the other messages we've left with him. Now every time we pass, he asks when he can get be baptized. :) That and he wants to interpret his dreams.

It's interesting how sometimes we can judge people by their covers, or sometimes by what it is they do, and be completely mistaken. Time and time again, the scriptures have testified of one truth: do not judge one another, because we are all children of God, and the value of every soul is great in the sight of God. For this very reason, we should think of our own potential, and seek to share our happiness and knowledge with all that we can. Whether you are the one judging, or the one being judged, remember this great truth and you can find a lot more happiness in life.

Thanks for all the prayers, letters, and jokes. Fortunately I haven't received any loaded peanut jars in the mail, (Not a suggestion) which means I'm still on people's good sides. Que Benção.

Word of the Week:

Que Benção (Kee ben-song)What a blessing! It's silly how many times I say this.

Sorry If I didn't write much, I didn't have a lot of time.
