You
got my pictures? Cool. These type of owls live everywhere here in Paraná (the
name of the state where I’m in) they are those kinds of owls that live in
burrows in the ground.
I
remember Owls in the family, I loved those stories! I remember that dad would
read it to us in the living room on Sunday afternoons. Also he made us
read a little when his voice got tired. I think it’s one of the reasons that
everyone in the family grew up to love to read. It´s interesting here in Brazil,
books are expensive so people rarely read. When people don’t have a habit
of reading society as a whole decays. The only book people read here is the
bible. And in the bible they only read psalms and proverbs.
I’m
gonna Skype you guys at 5pm my time. Thank you for preparing questions, I feel
awkward when I have nothing to say.
This
Sunday a bunch of members gave us Christmas cakes and candy, I've gained about
3 kilos in this area so far, it´s what I get for serving in a richer ward.
We
have 3 couples here that we are helping to get married. One is a couple that me and Elder P found 1 year ago and baptized
their two daughters. Another
is one we baptized the two kids two weeks ago. The
last is a couple that we have been working with for like three months, R
and C. C finished reading the Book of Mormon recently! But also
hasn’t stopped smoking. . .
I
like it here in Londrina, the only annoying thing is that when missionaries are
sick or there is an emergency transfer they always sleep in our house or
president makes them work in a trio with us. Teaching in a trio is really
annoying. But it’s also good so that me and Elder P don’t get tired of
each other. At the end of this transfer it will be 6 months that we worked
together. Or one fourth of our missions. It’s weird to think about. Also
weird to think about is that this will be my last call home! For mother’s day i
can talk to you all in person
Love
you all!
