The Brazilian Adventure: Week 72 October 13 -- October 19

My Dearest beloved Family and Friends:

Well it is true. The water is running out here in Brazil, and here in São Paulo is the worst in all of Brazil. The members say that we probaly only have one to two months until the water here in São Paulo completly runs out. I have no idea what will happen to us missionaries if the water actually runs out. Maybe we will get called to serve in another part in Brazil and I will have three missions. But hopefully the goverment does something. People are begining to become hisitant to give us water when we ask at the doors. 

I hope that I can explain this story well. Last Friday my companion and I were walking through the appartments at night to go to appointment. In this place there are these men smoking some weed and using drugs. It is skechy. It is kinda funny here in Sao Paulo, the people just use these things in front of everyone. But anyway, as we were walking, I notice up ahead of where we were walking was a little wall for a stair case. I saw thes two men peaking out looking at us. And then when I saw them, they went back really quick. I thought that was wierd. We continued to walk towards our path on the other end of the little wall. A man then walked out and he was pretending to mess with something in his hands and he was looking at us. I then stopped and told my companion to stop. A deep feeling came over me to not go any further. When we stopped, the men turned away really fast and bent down near a moto and mess with it. I just told my companion that we were going to take another path. We took another path near by away from the man, but we were able to still see him. When we were gone, he got up and another man walked out from behind the wall and they seemed like they were mad at each other and frustrated. Toma bad people! (That´s Portugese for "Get some!") I love the promptings of the Holy Ghoust. I´m glad that he helped me to realize all of those things and that I was able to see and notice those things. 

This week we took Maria to visit the temple to teach her there. She is the woman that has been having dreams of her family members that have already past away. She loved that temple, and she can´t wait to do the work for here family that have already past away. 

 Love you all. 

Be happy
