Giving out wheelchairs for a service project. (2-8-16)

Well, it was a good week, on tuesday and Wednesday we did a service project. The stake here received 109 wheelchairs for people here, so we helped put them together one day, and the next day we helped distribute them as people came to pick them up. There was a mountain of people at the stake center, and all the missionaries from the zone were there helping too. So, I got to see Elder Sant who´s still in my zone. Did I tell you he´s training too? I think there having a lot of success there in Andradina. But it was really a neat experience, you can´t imagine how many people there are that are needing these things. That´s something interesting since I´ve been here, I don't know if it´s only because I´m out walking the streets talking to everyone, or there's more in Brazil, but there is a lot of people with deformities of feet, hands, legs, lots of things. Don´t know, but there's a lot here. Anyway, I was glad to help out some, and I also met a married couple of missionaries who are serving in São Paulo as church welfare missionaries. they´re from Idaho and the husband served here in Araçatuba in 1971 when they just had a branch here. it was neat to talk with him. Other things that happened was it was really difficult. If you didn´t know, this weekend and until tuesday is Carnival. Everyone is drinking, partying, or left for a bigger city where they have parades and dances and things. So, basically it´s really annoying, because no one wants to receive us right now. Luckily here in Araçatuba there´s not a bunch of public things. So, we work, it´s just a little harder. But, I´m almost certain I told you the name of my comp. Elder Jeronymo, but anyway, that´s his name, and he´s doing great! Improves a little each day, he wants to work hard, and do everything right. i was pretty blessed with him, basically all I´m doing is helping him destroy 2 words from his vocabulary realmente (really) and Né which is like a word people use after every sentences, but it doesn´t even exist. Anyway, we´re working with that. Haha, and he still has plenty he needs to learn, but he´s progressing wonderfully. And yes, I teach gospel principles class every Sunday when we can get someone to church. And other great news, this week I hit 6 months! Anyway, Tchau! Elder Wyatt
