This is me sitting on the entrance sign of the city.
It seems like yesterday that i was here emailing the last email. Its amazingly true what they say that time flys when your having fun!
So today was an awesome P-day! So our bishop here likes us ALOT! which is awesome! Like I said he is American and is from American Fork, UT. I found out that he played on the drum line in high school and at BYU. So we have had alot to talk about! haha
This past week my companion decided that he wants to learn how to play football. (or futbol americano) <-- Thats what the Brazilians call it. So we asked the bishop where we can buy one and he said the only place is at the mall in Sorocaba, which is the closest big city to where we are... its about 45 minutes away. And so he offered to take us there on p-day and then take us to McDonalds and buy us lunch. Of course we accepted! haha So thats what we did today!
We are already planning to start a little football league here to play on our P-Days. There are a ton of people interested (members and investigators) so this next wednesday we are going to play! Im so excited! Ill be sure to send pictures in the next email.
Funny Story: This sunday a drunk wandered into the church. I got to talking to him and he told me that before he entered he was sitting on a bench in front of the church and felt that he needed to enter, but then the devil started talking to him and told him that he is not aloud to enter and that he needed to go to the bar instead! But he was like i just knew I had to enter this church, so now im here! And I was like well good! We are glad that you are here. So when he entered to sacrament meeting he stopped in the doorway and look at the bishop, who was sitting up at the pulpit and said to me " That man right there is the Judge of God... Im going to go talk to him!" Then he practically ran up to the front and started talking to the bishop. It was so funny the way that he said it. After talking to him a little more he told us that we could pass by at his house and leave a message with him, But we discovered that he lives in a town called Capâo Bonito, its like 100 kilometers away. (Not part of our area)
The work here is going really well, we have a ton of people that we are teaching and if everything goes right we should start having a couple baptisms! :)
But thats about it for now! Thanks for all the love and support!
Elder J.D. Schoen
