Subject: Taxi!
Hello Everybody!
The week went by really fast.
Last Saturday we taught Iraci for the first time. She's a 50 year-old P.E. teacher. The next day on Sunday, she went to church all by herself.
This week, João and Marilda will be baptized. They moved their baptism to this Sunday because they want their family to be able to attend.
On Friday, we had a council meetting in São Paulo with President. We were supposed to be there by 10am, and it takes about an hour and a half to get up there by bus. We had it all planned to get there at 9:30 catching the 8:05 bus. Unfortunately, when we get to the bus station, we realized that we had left almost all of our money at home. We caught a van home, grabbed the money, and realizing that we might miss the 8:30 bus, we caught a R$7.00 taxi to the bus station. We barely missed the 8:30 bus. The next was scheduled to go up to São Paulo at 9:05, which would make us late for the meeting. We called the assistants an told them that we would be late. They told us that it wasn´t an option and ordered us to get a taxi. We then had to spend R$150 on a 2-way taxi trip to São Paulo. Luckily the assistants lent us some money to get home and we fit another companionship in the taxi to split the cost on the way home.
Now we´re going to baptize the taxi driver.
