Busy Week!

We had a time change this week. its 11:15 here now. This week: the bishop did us a huge favor and drove us around for almost 4 hours to show us our area because we weren't having success where we were working. Come to find out our area is HUGE. There is like 150,000 ppl that live just in our prosyliting area. He showed us areas that have never been worked by missionaries yet. and of course they are WAY far away, but its a sacrifice were doing for success. Speaking of success we're having lots more. He showed us the area friday, saturday we walked there and knocked doors to find investigators. Sunday we had a group of ppl show up to church and one of them, Anderson, said he wanted baptized, out of the blue, so that is WAY exciting. Were having lots more success now so its worth the LONG walks. Anderson has a couple problems with the word of wisdom were trying to help him with, lots of praying and fasting. We're hoping that we can baptize him this Sunday. He is 26 yrs old. We have others to we're teaching and stuff also but he is the only one for this sunday. We will invite a couple more for this Sunday to to see if they except. Also the last week of this month is the largest holiday in Brasil called Carnival, lots of drinking and partying. so were not excited for this. Its hard on investigators to tell them they can't do all of that but with faith they will stay stong. Also this week we found out who our new president will be in july. Pres. Oliveira. he is from Recife Brasil and he has been a stake pres already. He is a bishop now and he has had other callings. so that is exciting. We got rain all this week. I love it. It's less hot when it rains but also we're soaked all day from walking in it. haha. There are good things and bad things about everything.
Spider in water!
I was givin a cup of water at a house with spider webs and a dead spider in it. I politly asked for a different one. haha. There is always stuff floating in the water but a spider was a little much for me. Another weird thing i haven't mentioned yet that is hard for me... everyone uses the same cup haha. its weird.
