well hello everybody. como é? ta tudo
fixe? its funny because i write austin (turley) and he has a hard time
understanding me. mostly because i write slang to him that doesnt exitst in
brazil.
but anyway things are going well here.
well to start off the week elder mccune
got transfered to Luanda. so he left tuesday morning. so we were in a tripla
for 4 days basically. triplas are horrible for the work. so numbers were
wayyyyyyyy down this week but tudo bem. i like the guys in my tripla so its fun.
just not ideal missionary work group. oh and dont go tracting like that! its
like the us goverment is coming to arrest you!
but on thursday we recieved a package
from luanda.... a very sacred package.... ALL OF OUR CHRISTMAS PACKAGES
AND LETTERS!!!!!!!!! oh it was a great day! MAIL! so i got all those. thank you
everyone. thanks to my family and extended family. also the young women in the
ward. you girls are awesome! and also thanks to the Tingeys next door. flip
when i got your card i was whoa... i forgot how much i miss them. i miss you
guys a lot! also thank you to the kerrs and turleys and Macdonalds for your
christmas cards! and if i missed anyone thank you!
well this week before elder mccune left
we had been playing a game called the great dalmuti. its basically like scum
but a little bit better. anyway we had this running tournament going up to 20
wins. elder mccune was at 19 wins and well basically i came back from 13 wins
to beat him to 20. it was quite epic. and im writing this and it doesnt even sound
cool. i guess you had to be there.
what else... oh i taught the lesson in
priesthood this week... um... we didnt have that many lessons this
week so not to many spiritual experiences. but yesterday we were contacting!
haha fun huh? but anyway these guys were like oh yeah come in have a seat and
then the neighbor lady was satanic or something and was like no dont give them
chairs to sit down they want to brain wash you. blah blah blah. their jws. and
i said we werent and then she got sassy with me and told me that we just wanted
to swindle them out of there money. hahaha and then i was like actually we are
representatives of Jesus Christ. and well i dont know if she didnt believe me
or what but she got offeded at me. and turned up her nose. i felt bad. then
another lady didnt accept anything but the bible ( classic) so i was okay
explained further and she want anything to do with us. so i offered a pamphlet.
she reminded me that she doesnt accept anything but the bible. okay lady its a
dang pamphlet. then i offered our card with our number with a picture of Jesus
Christ! i dont know how much more bibley i could get than that (uh do you
want my bible with my number on the inside? haha jk ) and she rejected the card
hard core.
so thats when i learned that my charity
and love for this people is growing. because i usually would have been
frustrated and annoyed but i just walked away really sad because i knew she was
missing out on so much.
well thats about the week. i love you all!
keep ctring

Elder Tingey
I am eating a fruit called maracuja. It’s a passion
fruit. It’s PACKED with vitamin c; more than an orange and its
sooooooo sour. So you pour a bunch of sugar in it, mix it up, and then you have
dessert!
