sooooo!!!! this week was crazzzzyyyy!!! we went prosoliting for the first time! on monday we went out for a 3 hours. i was starting to freak out in during the morning. but the worst was when they handed me 2 copies of the book of mormon. when i got those i new it was legit. so we walked out and that was it. kinda interesting. i was wondering if i was going to have the spirit just tell me where to go? but when i did walk out i was pretty normal. i decided which way to go and that was it. we started walking. we would see sombody probably like a mile away walking towards us. we would get ourself all mentaly prepared but when they actually were right in front of us i would just say hi and thats it. hahaha but finally we just decided we had to do it. so we walked up to this guy that was sitting on his motorcycle. i went up and started to talk in my broken protuguese. i said hi then started to tell him who i was and what i was doing. then he said something...... um ya i had no idea what he said. so i just countinued to talk then we says in a little bit of a mad tone that he was working.. i definetally understood him that time. so we moved on. kept talking the little bit that we can. then this guy was walking really fast so i almost didnt stop him but then i kinda just stook my hand out and said hi my names elder ruesch blah blah blah... so we ended up giving away our first book of mormon. i felt so legit. i was sure he was going to be a conversion right there. then about thirty seconds go by and i relize i forgot to tell him our phone number if he had any questions or if he wanted to meet with us to learn more. ahahahaa i felt like kirby on the best two years when he realizes he didnt tell the lady the address and he starts running after her and his companion has to chase after him and make him stop. haha price less
so we countinued for a little more and handed our two more copies one was really good that other was more like a pitty thing. but good practice. so we walked around for about like thirty minutes and couldnt really get anybody to talk to us. so we moved over to a different area. i stoped this older lady and started to talk to her. she was very nice. turns out shes catholic and very firm in her beliefs. but she let us talk. we talked for about an hour in our very bad portuguese. but we ended up having a very good conversation. she seemed very interested. and you could tell a few time that she felt something during a couple different times of our conversations. i mean i have no idea if she is going to do anything with it. but i know we did our part for her. hopefully she will trust in the promptings of the holy ghost and do what is right.
so that was monday.... but today is wednesday. so let me tell you what ive done so far!!!!!! today we went to this grill with our instructor because its our last p day in the ctm. so this place was amazing. the food was so good. they would bring all differnt kinds of meat around on these huge stake thing then just cut the meat of for you on to your plate. and it was all you can eat. one time they came around with chicken heart...... i wasnt so sure but i did it anyways. it wasnt to bad until i started thinking about what it was that i was eating. and it was very rubbery so it made it a little difficult but other then that it was sooooooooo good!! best part it was on 20 reals($10) so it was well worth the money.
so next week on tuesday is when i go to the field. so i dont know when i will have a p day next. so it might be 2 weeks until you hear from me. actually on CHRISTMAS yayayayaya. i dont know how this is all going to work out. i dont know if its skype or not but im sure they have me tell you before hand so. oh and for mission ties for me to get my letters sent to me when im in the field somebody will have to update me address in the account informations on the website every transfer or else it will get sent to the wrong place. so i will send you and email with my address and let you know. um probably dont sent any more letters with mission ties after sunday until i give you guys my address to update it with. umm well i think thats it for this week.
