This week it's been raining a bit more than normal, only in the nights though. The Boy scout in me has been helping out a lot; ever since me and Elder Pagoada got stuck at night a mile away from our house in a thunderstorm without rain gear, I've been carrying my rain jacket in my backpack whether the sky is clear or not. This week we got caught in an unexpected rainstorm and I was able to pull my rain coat out no problem, my companion was not as prepared.
It's coming down hard in this picture, but all you can really see is that everything is really really wet.
We've also had to sit and listen to some preacher guy screaming with a microphone in the street to his congregation. They blocked off the main road for his sermon. He yelled things like "HOLY GHOST" and "GOD IS POWER, GOD IS LOVE, GOD IS MIGHTY" and "THE BIBLE IS THE LOVE OF CHRIST!" but he never really screamed anything of depth. Nothing pure and clear as the doctrine of Christ is. As he was yelling about how everyone should follow the words of the bible I wanted to go outside, take his microphone, and read Mathew 6 to him. It's no wonder that the Lord called them all hypocrites when he was talking about the people who pray in loud voices.
ANYWAYS, apart from the apostasy here... I was walking down the street and I saw the firetruck in front of the church.
I knew that this wasn't any cause for alarm though, it just meant that the church was having water problems again and the fire department was helping the Elders in the other ward fill the font for a baptism. This is the third time they've done it and they do it for free
....because they don't really have much to do here.
A member took us WAY out to visit his campo and to see a popular waterfall and swimming spot. We rode in the bed of his truck (as is the way here)
Other than normal stuff I've been reading Jesus the Christ. THAT BOOK IS CRAZY. For anyone who wants to double their knowledge about Christ, the gosple, and test thier volcabulary while they're at it should read that book. It'll blow your mind. It is, however, very hard to read. I recomend it though.
That's about it, I'll talk to you all next week!
Love yas
