Feliz!

Mom How did the sixteenth treat you? You didn't mention anything to me about your Birthday!
Well this last week has been good. I want to share something really quick that i think is funny. There is a lady in our ward called Sister Rosa (hosa) , she is A woman who likes to get her laughs out. She is the type that hits when she laughs if you are the one that makes her laugh or if you are near her, you are a goner. The last three times we've eaten there I've been the one sitting next to her. And me just being American makes her laugh. So every time we eat there I don't know how ,exactly, but I end up next to her. I get the occasional shove, hit which is fine but this last week I don't know what I said but i had her laughing pretty good. And she was hitting me to the point where I was almost falling out of my chair. My companion got a kick out of it, I didn't know what to do. I hope you guys can use your imagination and picture this cause I'm not painting a great picture. She was laughing because of something I did, and elder R. Marinho and I were laughing cause I was getting wasted. It reminded me of something off the office, if only someone had been filming.
She builds houses out of cement which I did this last week and I honestly think it was the hardest thing I've done in my life. I didn't use gloves either, my hands felt like sand paper and after the cement dried on my hands i think the skin shrunk around my bones i had cuts everywhere luckily i have been supplied with all sorts of lotion.. I have decided the people here are a lot tougher than us wimpy Americans. yesterday I saw a little boy learning how to ride a bike, he couldn't have been much older than 5 or 6, and he was doing it by himself and on a bike with broken training wheels, down a dirt hill that I'm not even sure I would go down on a mountain bike. I would, that's an exaggeration but it was still steep and I was worried about him, I was talking with him for a sec. I really didn't want to see him fall but i watched him go down the hill like a maniac and then made sure he would practice on flat ground for a bit before he did that again.
This week was zone conference. And President had a huge lesson planned. to start off the meeting. He began by reading the first Vision, and began to cry. He said he prepared this lesson but doesn't feel like that's what he was supposed to teach. All he did was bare his testimony. I feel like I need to be better at following the spirit like that. I'm learning but when I have a plan I stick to it. He is a great guy. I really love him and support him as my leader.
I got the package from São Paulo, it was so cool to get that one. I have been walking around with that tape recorder everywhere I go, I feel pretty professional. the floss!
I really am so grateful and Kristen thanks for setting that all up and taking the time to get Tawny's blog to me I loved that. Thanks to all who where involved in that from the bottom of my heart.
I'm doing well, health is well. All is well,
Tawny, thanks for the time you take to write me. I can't believe the things you are doing. I love how well you are keeping me posted. Thank you

Love Elder Williams
