this week . . . .

We got back from Sao Paulo on Tuesday morning just in time to sleep for an hour before we taught our class. Our class this week was fun, we had a good group. On Saturday we taught a class in Campo Grande, which is about 1.5 hours away from us. That class was fun too, since it was all members so we could talk about some things that we usually don't bring into our class (like how to use callings in power statements).

Today when we went to church two of our non-member students were there visiting the ward, since they have started investigating the church as a result of the class. We are happy about this.

Sherry thinks I have dengue fever. I keep explaining to her that part of dengue fever is 'fever' which I don't have. I came back from SP with a pretty bad cold, but it is slowly getting better. Today I can talk, which is a good thing since it makes Sherry's life easier when we are teaching. I bought a thermometer (to make sure I don't have dengue), but Sherry broke it after I took my temperature twice. Okay, she didn't really break it, it fell on the floor. Apparently Brazilian mercury is not dangerous. She doesn't really think I have dengue, but she tells me I have dengue 20 times a day. I think it's funny. I laugh, but then I cough.

Sherry had a really good experience today. A kid she taught on her mission lives in Rio now, and he came to church with us today. We're going to work on reactivating him. He now has a goal to read 7 chapters in the scriptures this week, and we'll follow up next sunday and see if he did it or not. And we know some people who we think live in his ward, so we're going to make him be friends with them.

We also made brownies and banana bread this week. It was very exciting. And Sherry went to the beach. And finished a class. I just wasted time being sick. Oh, and I got a sunburn. And lots of borrachulo bites. Burrachudos do not carry dengue. But that was last week. This week I am feeling the effects of the sunburn and bugbites. LIFE IS GOOD!!!!

We hope your week was exciting as well.
