Xaxim Week 10

So this week was interesting. We are working with some people really good, but there isn´t anyone really close to baptism. We are working mainly with Valdemar (it´s been a while), Túlio (as well), Edmar and Simone (the golden family that I talked about last week), and Joel and Simone (Joel is dating Simone who is less active). With Valdemar, he is going through some problems with his divorce a year ago that is stressing him out. We visited with him with President Cuvelier this week, and we comforted him a little. We are trying to help him realize that he needs to be baptized now. With Túlio, we are visiting him almost everyday making short visits, and helping him out. With Edmar and Simone they are interested, but they can only go to church, every other Sunday. With Joel and Simone we are helping them understand, and get married.

Anyway, nothing really exciting happened this week, but we are working so that miracles can happen.

Thank you all for the support

Questions:

How are you feeling this week? I am feeling better. The problem that happened last P-day had to do with my hair. I tried to cut my hair, and the hair clippers started having problems, so I had to stop in the middle, and I spent hours trying to fix it. It ended up all well, because we are teaching someone who cuts hair so he cut mine to make it look better.

You look like a Brazilian! Do they wear their hair shorter? Yeah, they do this cut called a de-gra-de which is basically a degree by degree. They start generally between 0-1 clip size, and go until a 1-3 clip size while using scissors on top. With me because I had messed up, he used a 1/2 going until a 2, I think. I wouldn´t let them cut it this short, until I did that.
