Hello there,
We had a zone activity last Tuesday at the institute building which was cool. We watched Emma Smith and played air hockey. We tried to make some food on our own but it sucked. The night before I was on a split with Elder Santos and we met up with a member at the chapel, he was wearing a neat soccer jersey so I asked him about it. Next day he ended up taking me and 4 other missionaries in his little car to an outlet store where they sell Offical Jerseys for like half the price. I ended up buying a Palmeiras Jersey and chilled the rest of th day. That night we met up with an ex-member who use to be in the Stake Presidency. Had a chat with him, he is old, got into black magic and showed us his little wtich shrine thing and then we left...fast.
Friday was a members sons baptism. It was raining very hard and our chapel is above a store and the roof is metal so noone could hear the speaker speak. The baptismal font is outside aswell so the kid got baptised in the pouring rain. There was presents and such after and one kid had a helicopter that flies when you pull the cord hard enough. He was having trouble so I decided to help him. Over zealously pulling the cord, boom, no more helicopter. So I felt super bad and I bought him another one.
Saturday was chill, we had lunch at the members house super far away. It is crazy how people are so hapy with so little. Very hmbling. We went to an investigators house and he was eating food aswell and insisted that we eat with him. Being fat, I ate al of it. After the lesson he gave us a ride to our next area which saved up 20mins. We started doing what I like to call "Pandora's Box" tracting. Every house you get something different, whether it is a drunk dude, a pastor, a family, a crazy witch doctor, or people that act nice but dont let you in, ect.
Sunday was Stake conference in jundiai and there was a youth choir and some good talks that was pretty cool to watch. President Tanner was there. After the conference he gave us a ride home to inspect our house. Sister Tanner hooked me up with a pretty nice pillow. They said it was great except the whole fact that the oven was missing..still at the chapel from the pizza night..
Monday I did a split with Elder Miller from my group. It was way cool. It is nice to be with an American Companion for once but it wold be hard to not speak english the whole time. Elder Augusto will be transfered on the 27th and I will probably stay here.
Yesterday we had district/zone meeting and president Tanner was there again, he gave us a little prep-talk and invterviewed each one of us. Sister Tanner made banana bread which was good. I was almost last to be interviewed. I brought a flash card of points to talk with him about. Ends up the Campo Limpo ward would be closed if missionaries werent here..great. I got the Package from you guys. I am not sure if it was a fat joke or not...with the LARGE Gs, fat pills, and a workout drink...I get it. Ha thanks however, I really loved it...and so did everyone else..Thank you Borther and Sister Miller, Jenna, my family, and everyone for the pakages. They mean more to me than you know.I sent my package this week so you guys will get it some time. There are presents for each one of my family, Grandma lela, Grandma Gayle, Jenna, Sister Miller's late birthday present, Branson, and Chris Mcdonald. I hope it gets to you!
Thank you for everything. Hope you have a merry christmas. I will be skyping home either the Wednesday before Christmas, or the Wednesday after. Not sure yet.
Love, Elder Merrick Reynolds
