Olá meus amigos -
Once again, I went to the doctor this week, but this time just for a check up to see what was wrong and have them test me for things. We were scheduled for 8am. We didnt get in to see a doctor until 12:30. And then we only talked to her for maybe 15mins and she ordered a couple of tests to be done which I couldnt get done that day (I got them done this morning). Yeah. Not a big fan of the health care system here in Bahia, but what can you do but smile and try to ignore ´Dungeons and Dragons´ that is playing on the tv in the waiting room?
Other than that, we have been helping Carlos to stop smoking, which will take a lot of faith - he usually smokes more than a pack a day. But the other day when we came to visit him at 4pm, he had only smoked 1! Hooray!!! Milagres acontece!
Our mission has talked a lot about
And... I am not sure what else to say about my week. I am a little frustrated because we have been spending a lot of time in the house because of sickness, and I am tired of it. Especially when nothing is done to make it get better... We are going to chalk this one up to the Lord teaching me something that I am going to need later on in the mission/life. It doesnt help that while we teach a lot of people and we have really great experiences during the week, everything really comes down to whether people show up on Sunday or not, and these past few Sundays have been terrible. Hardly no one has shown up, and when someone does show up, its not someone we have been working with through the week. Which makes it feel like everything we did during the week, all the experiences we had, were in vain. Which isnt true. But its hard not to feel that way at times.
So, sorry this is going to be another short email, but I cant think of much else to say.
I love you lots!!
