Olá!!!!!!!!!

Just wrapping up another week!

To start, i got sick again which really sucked. Luckily it was only for 2 days.  I think it was a virus.  The first day was horrible!  But i got a hold of some medecine which helped.  But when we walked into church yesterday, everyone was asking me if i was feeling better which was funny because i had no idea people knew i got sick.  Only one member knew because my companion got sort of sick right after i did (only for the night) and our Mainha called us and i answered and she yelled ERICKSON!!!! GO TO THE HOSPITAL!!!!!!!!!  hahahaha but i didnt want to do that plus i was feeling better but people are funny about that here. 

Something funny that happened (sort of) was that our big jug or drinking water ran out so my companion went to go exchange it for a new one and i wasnt feeling good so i just waited outside the door on the side walk for him because the place is super close and when he was walking back with the jug on his shoulder  (the jug holds 20 litters so its pretty heavy) there was a little stair that steps down and my comp didnt see it and all of a sudden the jug of water is in the air and my companion fell and the water jug explodes on the street and all over him and he gets up super wet and dirty and everyone was looking hahahahaha but luckily he has a good sense of humor and just laughed it off so then we went and bought another one and i carried it back.

So this week we have 2 marked baptisms for these 2 brothers who are twins. their names are Kaio and Kawan.  They are 14 but super smart!!!! They are smarter than half the people i have taught and they are super receptive to the stuff we teach and were teaching some of their friends too so its pretty fun.  But  Hopefully the baptisms go through.  The only part that might be tough is getting their parents approval but we will see.  So were super happy and excited about that.  We are teaching some really awesome people who have tons of potential. 

Carnival starts on the 8th so our President said we have to return to our houses at 5pm for about a week. I think i might have said that in my last email. i dont remember.  But its going to be interesting to see Carnival for the first time.  Thats about it though for this week!  Im really looking forward to this week and stuff.  Thanks again for all the support!  i love you and miss you guys!  have a good week and i will talk to you soon.
