More baptisms!!!! We baptized three more young guys, Diogo, Wesley and Taylor. Brazilians love American names for some reason.
Transfers are today and I will stay here for at least another transfer in Pelotas, which is great because we can probably baptize more in this area. Another good thing is that I will stay with Elder Yopán for another transfer too.
We had a flash flood in area on Tuesday. It rained super hard for a lot of the afternoon and our street filled up with water up to the knees.
I only know that because we went walking through it to a member’s house that was filling with water. There is a river to the south of our area which is a ‘poop river’ where the sewage goes. That river filled up so much that it claimed the street next to it making it a huge river.
Four of us left our lunch (to help out a member) in white shirts and ties and umbrellas and waded through this massive poop river. The river was full of trash, but also turtles, and as we walked we saw turtles swimming around our feet. We also saw a massive rat swimming on the surface of the water.
What didn't help was that a couple of trucks passed by us in the street, causing waves that exploded over us. I will never forget that day.
But this week was really good; I’m excited to get back to work!
