Cashews July 16, 2012

SO! We had 2 baptisms this week! Kevin and Sedenei(Sidney)!! AGH! I'm really proud of them. In the picture.. I've got a belly. But it's bc I had to pull up my skirt so high. It's so long! And you know.. I'm so short. hahaha.

Kevin's little sisters will be baptized the 4th of August if all goes well. He's doing great though. He went out and taught with us. It was awesome. He taught about the Kingdoms in the Plan of Salvation. EVERYONE knows Kevin, which is amazing bc he's a kid of very few words. haha. But Really though. He's outstanding. We took the Missionary couple that is serving in our area with us to a Family Night at his house last Monday night and they were just SO impressed by him. :) Which they should be, He's great! :)

Sidney is a surfer. hahah. He's really cool. He's the nephew of our Branch President. I really like him. we were a little on edge when he didn't show up for an appointment and when he was running late for his baptismal interview, but its bc he was in the ocean too long. hahahah.

OH! I'VE GOT NEWS! Our branch split this Sunday! YEAHHHH! Super exciting! But... I'm not sure how thats working out so we're going to work in 2 branches I think until next transfer. Which, I'm stoked about, bc that means I get to teach all of my investigators!

So there is this fruit here that I've never seen before in my life, Caju. Its like a colorful pepper with a seed on top. Turns out, if you take the seed, dry it out in the oven and crack it open.. You have a cashew nut. HOLY MOLEY! My mind was sincerely blown! But the fruity part is like... spicey sweety ... flan texture. Weird. But fascinating all the same.
And as a cool side note, I figured out how to make the milk here taste normal! I have to buy skim milk. Then I stick a few ice cubes in it because the carton its in doesn't get it cold enough. And then if I'm eating knock off raisin bran, I stick brown sugar in it. (The raisin bran and the brown sugar I found in the american store) GENIUS! Now I'm back to drinking milk. Oh man, I missed milk.

We have zone conference this week. I'm not that excited. But we'll see what happens. Maybe it'll be good. Maybe I'll get mail!! :)

We have 2 baptisms lined up for this week that I'm really excited about, but I'll tell you about them next letter.

Tchau Tchau for now!
