ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST

wowza what a week in brazil. well this week was difinately not normal. monday guess what happened AGAIN!! we got robbed again!!!! like what the?! the weirdest thing about it is that im in the safest area! so this is like un heard of but ever since i got here all these bad things have happened! i dont really think brazil likes me haha but okay so heres the story, we were walking home from a members house bc they had bought me a basketball, and we were on a popular streeet but here in brazil no one is on the streets at night, so it was just us and we were walking when we saw 2 huge guys cross the street on our side and one of them put something shinny behind his back. right when we saw that he had something behind his back we knew exactly what was about to go down, but it was to late to turn around. the guy points the right at us and tells us to give them our bags and my watch. so while the other guy was pointing the gun at us teh other got our bags and was getting my watch but he was having the hardest time getting my watch for some reason and he was not gentle so my wrist hurt the rest of the night. but anyways so once he finally got the watch he said in english turn aroud and walk away, so when a gun is pointed at you, you do exactly what they say haha so we did buuut guess what!! THEY DIDNT TAKE MY BASKETBALL!! BLESSING! everyone was suprised they didnt take it, anyways so we went back to the members house and called the president and all that, but since we didnt have our bags we didtn have our house keys! so we slept at the members house! total slumber party! they have daughters 25 and 21 and we are like so close with them and best part they speak english so we wore their pjs and slept there haha super crazy, but the next day we had to wear the same clothes as before and our hair was nasty no make up, it was aweful, this whole week weve pretty much been at the mission office getting things and all that fun stuff, but also get this sis williams bag was found with both our planners and her scriptures (not mine,,,lame) and just junk. then later my wallet was found! everything still in it besides cash! and they put my family pic in it haha i had my family pic in my scriptures but they moved it to my wallet, i guess they didnt want to keep it? idk why its a dang good looking fam haha;) but bummer we cancled my card bc i have it now but its all good hah but yeah so this week has been hard to work bc we havent had a phone, we are using one of the assistants phones bc they ran out of replacments but yeah this week was crazy! but blessing we found AMAZING new investigators with for real potential and one even faught with her mom in front of us to go to church! like this girl is fire! i love it. so even though it was a crazy week we still got new investigators which is the best obviously. also marked 5 baptism dates! so with what this week started with, it really ended up being pretty good. besides my fav açai placed closed. not to happy about that haha
