The Return of Pedro (Elder Evangelista)

This week was quite uneventful as far as cool stories to share other than one investigator by the name of Bia. She has a baptismal date for the 8th of April, so I will wait until then to give the full story. This is like a trailer for whats coming. Oh, movies :'(

Well, Elder Evangelista (Pedro of Pedro, Tiago and Joao) has safely returned to us. He had some infection cyst thing removed from his foot but is all better after a week and a half resting and healing up. We are back to walking in our tripla in both areas still. Its huge, but things are going well in both areas and we are having lots of success with people who we didn't think would progress.

We had the chance to help pilar (smash with a big wood stick) some corn and peanuts. Its super entertaining because they are shocked we can manage pilar-ing. Once it gets to the separating with the basket thingy...That is when their shock turns to laughs as we make a huge mess. It is a nice little service thing that we get to do quite often.

Lastly, we had a rat in our house this week. Not mouse, rat. Kitten sized rat. We tried to kill it with brooms, sticks and literally kicking it but it escaped because Elder Evangelista freaked out and fell over... HAHAHA. I told him because of his cowardliness the rat would crawl on him while he slept... It's 3 am the power comes back (we were fighting the rat in the dark with 2 flashflights). 30 minutes later I wake up to Elder Evangelista screaming. He had woken up to the rat sitting on his arm. MAHAHA I was right.

Bonus: This week we bought a bottle of street side peri peri. Old olive bottle filled with "the fires of Hell". We use  a tiny spoon to drip it into big plates of food.... More than 3-4 drops and your eyes start to water and you feel like you might die without milk. Though, done in moderation its SUPER tasty.

Thats it for this week. I did also get a nice stack of letters and 2 packages this week! The letters were as old as October... So, that is interesting!
