Free Mealz (Week 65) — Called to Serve in Cuiaba

How's it be sirs and lady sirs this week was full of just a lot of very unique experiences. I got this freaking atomic level zit and Elder Farr, our local zit expert, was like bro stab a needle in it, and I was like you must be mad sir. I was then like hmmm what do I have to lose, and stabbed myself in the zit with a needle. It worked much better than I thought, and didn't even scab, so mom, be not weary.

There's this dude who we literally see all over the city and his name is Roney. He absolutely loves us for a very unknown reason and Friday night we stumbled upon him and he was like bros I need to know if you guys are hungry hahah and we were like yea we're going to eat right now wanna come with us. He was like no dudes I'm working right now but here's 40 Reais (like $10 US), and then just gave us money to go eat. We got like 2 huge hamburgers and some soda and boy was I happy. My companion told Roney that he's Macaulay Culkin's cousin, and so like 3 minutes later Roney's super grizzly lookin cousin just comes in and goes yo bro I heard your Macaulay Culkin's cousin hahahah then we got a picture with this kid and his crew. I'll add the pic at the bottom.

There's this rad member named Pedro who is so ridiculously rich and just loves us so we get to sacrament meeting and sit down right in from of him and he just taps on my shoulder and hands me this bag of like hot crispy waffles and I was baffled. It was the first waffle I've eaten in 16 months and I am at a loss of words with this situation. Marvelous.

We did a visit with this old lady in our ward named Tereza and she's just sweet as a pea. We leave her house to walk to the visit, and she opens her umbrella and looks at me and goes I'm a racist and don't wanna turn black and like right next to us on the sidewalk were some very lovely dark skinned brethren and I was just quite boggled at this occurrence. Old ladies give zero ph´s. Racism is not chillin.

There's a super cool quote from this cool book called the Book of Mormon that I would like to share with you fools. This kid named Nephi is the author of the quote, and he's talking about our Heavenly Father. In 1Nephi 11:17 he goes "I know that he loveth his children; nevertheless I do not know the meaning of all things.” I thought this line was so rad, because obviously here in life we go through some heft ish, and sometimes we feel like everyone has given up on us. But I just wanna add my firm belief to Nephi's that I know that God loves all of His children, no matter what, and that even though sometimes we have no clue why this thing or that thing happens in our lives, we can always go to God for help.

I ate so much this week and actually gained 6 pounds. So that’s kind of a bummer. Also my legs are so next level white I'll attach a photo haha.
