     Sooooooo this week was super lit as always because it's pretty impossible to have a bad week in Araucária! 

So this week was played a lot of basketball on P-day and we are getting in shape playing with some of our investigators every morning bright and early. 

We are getting pretty well known here in Araucária among the balling crew.

     On Tuesday we had district meeting and later that day we went to do visits with two youth that are preparing for the mish so they wanted to learn how to knock doors and such so that was pretty lit. After the first couple the two of them left and started knocking doors by themselves which was way courageous because I definitely wouldn't have had the courage!

     On Wednesday we went on splits and it rained all day which was way lit cause blessings woooo 

We taught some good people and had a good time.

     We had an FHE with the stake president and his family and that was a lot of fun. 

On Saturday we were walking around and all of our appointments fell through so we were a little bit lost knocking doors when all of the sudden we get a call from a way weird number so we answer and it's two sisters from the temple square mission that were passing a referral. Shout-out to our little old phone because I didn't even think it could get international calls. 

     Anyway, we decided to contact this lady because they said she requested a Book of Mormon and they had been teaching her through skype. 

So we start walking and get to the street where her house is. Garlick was like so what number is it and I was like 4000 something where are we at and Garlick was like that's lit because we are at number 50. So after walking quite a while we were just walking through this field and it starts pouring rain while it's sunny out. Garlick is the guy that gets burned easily so Shout-out to Elder Garlick for getting rained on and sunburned at the same time. There is nowhere to hide from the rain so we just kept walking till we finally got to this little fruit stand and chatted it up with this old guy for a little. 

     The rain stopped so we left and this little gang of dogs starts to run after us but don't worry we got out alive. We finally made it to the house. We knock and this girls dad walks out and tells us to never come back and slams the door. Quite the adventure that didn't play out how we thought it would but the grape juice at the fruit stand was good so it was all worth it. 

Life here is lit!!! love you all!!!
