Well, it continues to still be super hot here. They say that its fall now..but its really all a lie because the heat continues! Sister Miller didnt feel good, she had a fever and a cold and was naseous so we spent two days in our house, the funny thing is I took my fever just for fun the second day and ended up having a worse fever than her. Heat stroke!! But dont worry, we are fine now! And even with losing 3 days, we still got more than 100 street contacts, coming short of the mission standard, but we did what we could with our little time.
Brasilians love holidays and shut down everything just at the word of holiday, so this weekend was a little rough, even today we can email but cant buy food or anything because seriously nothing is open. Happy Easter! We wore cute spring colors to church yesterday, but nobody appreciated it because, well, its fall.
In other news, we had a pool party for Cleberson, the ten year old with a fear of drowning to help him practice go under water so he can be baptized. Everybody in his family(except for his parents who are in jail) are members and missionaries have tried three times to baptize him without success. So little by little with lots of love we are trying to open him up and help him conquer his fears!
Thats about all though this week, being sick really cuts into your week! But its a cool thing Sister Miller and I are such best friends because otherwise 50 hours in a small apartment together would have been really awful.
Happy Easter!
