well that is nice to know that Mountain CREST is through with football. Is mountain view? don't worry i understood just thought it was funny and that i would point it out to you. right now i am working in Ponta Grossa, 31 de Março. it is a ward. the only thing i don't like is in this ward and the ward that i was in for the past three weeks, they sing really really slow. but maybe i will get used to it. no the ctr ring wasnt for my companion that went home.
well first i will just start with this story that happened yesterday. well we had just finished teaching a members friend that went to church last week, and we were on our way to teach an 86 year old seventh day adventist, who is also a friend of this member and a referral that she gave us. but we will talk about here a little later because as we left her (the member Irmã(sister) Claudete) friends house, we were attacked by a rottweiler. my companion and the members duaghter were both wounded in the attack. the rottweiler wasn't going after me. it just came running out of no where and ran just a little past us. i just barely knicked his shoulder with my foot. and all of the others (my companion, Imrã claudete, and her daughter started to run. so naturally the dog went after them. i had to run and protect them. basically just stand in between them and the dog. he wouldn't attack me just tried to run around me and get to them. but after trying to attack us four times his owner was calling him back. so we just continued on our way. my companion was scratched fairly badly on his arm, to the point that it drew blood, and the members daughter was hit in the stomach. but it wasn't the dog that scratched him or that hit her in the stomach, but it was Irmã Claudete. we laughed quite a bit afterwards and we kept looking back to see if he was coming again. there was no reason for him to attack us., we weren't even close to his house. but don't worry my rottweiler will be a nice dog.
so after this whole incedent we went to the 86 year old adventist´s house. she gave us some pop and cake and we sat and conversed for several minutes. she is a very nice old lady. the we said a prayer and she started to tell a story that wasted forty five minutes of my life. like ammon she began at the creation of the world, and also the creation of Adam, and told us all the things concerning the fall of man, and rehearsed and laid before us the brecords and the holy scriptures of the people, which had been spoken by the prophets. she said a lot of stuff. i was a little frustrated and i was just praying for her to be quiet. because we were late for another lesson. but she didn't she just kept talking and talking and talking just to get to the point that she had a bible bash with the priest because he said that we don't have spirits, and she believes that we do. that was the whole point of everything that she said. the she asked some wierd questions and said some wierd stories that she said are from the bible, but are not. and we had to explain to her that Christ is a literal descendant of King David. but she liked the message and we will return there this saturday.
so unfortunately we didn't have time to go to our other lesson because she took so long. which was unfortunate because he has a baptismal date for this sunday. but we will see if we can teach him tonight.
well my time is running out,have a great week love you all,sherrie mother and nichole go to the gym
