Travels
Well the biggest struggle with being 6 hours from the mission office is
how much we have to spend to make trips to reach other Elders and catch buses paid for by the mission... Luckily we can get reimbursed for our
travels but it takes a lot of time to get money back!! just for an
example I handed in a reimbursement for 200 reais this week.... we drop a
ton of money on travel!!! But hey at least its always a charter bus;)
This week was a good one. My comp is pretty different. Kinda prideful
cause of the whole portugal thing being in Brazil but considering I am
finishing the mission I kinda of just call him out on it and he accepts
the corrections. He has 19 months on the mission but has had some
obedience problems so president has put him with me to help him turn his
mission around and finish strong. He wants to put him as a Senior
companion this next transfer so I am just going to work him back into
shape. And speaking of in shape me and him have started running in the
mornings... hahah i know i know with just 6 weeks left but hey better
late then never huh?! I want to come home looking good;) I plan on
working out pretty hard as well. These last 4 months I have been working
out pretty well just been lacking the cardio! But dang was I sore after
running the first time!!! it took me like 4 days to recover. Yesterday I
was like dying... had a pretty bad fever and my throat was way
inflamed, but the members here take good care of me and hooked me up
with an herbal tea that helped soothe a bit. I just have a super sore
throat today the fever passed I think. We should have a good week this
week! Dang haha these members are sooo funny I dont know if every area
is like this but everyone is always telling me "OH 5 weeks Elder!!" haha
its super funny, a bit annoying, but super loving nonetheless. Dang
well pray for me that I can lose some weight and more importantly help
some people here in the area;) LOVE YALL!!!
