Back to the Grind--Meanwhile...the Town Parties

The following e-mail was received on Monday July 2, 2012:

First week back in the grind. Not gonna lie--it´s a little tough getting back into the system of a missionary after being out for a while. But little by little, I'm getting there. 

We had a good amount of work to do these last days. We've been working with some inactive members, and some of them are starting to come back to church. Also, we started a marriage [process] for Paulo and Rosileni. A while back they didn't want anything to do with us...but now they are going to church and are on their way to baptism! Hopefully we should have some success by the end of this week. We've been working with a few people that have been going to church and hopefully we can have a baptism. 

This week has been a huge party week for Fortaleza. A holiday again that has turned into way longer than it needs to be: São João. Out of all the holidays here....this is probably the one that really gets on my nerves. The last few nights there have been tons of people and a band playing music out in the street close to our house. The microphones are about as loud as they can get.....and they go until three in the morning! It´s ridiculous! Can´t even sleep at night, but oh well. It´ll be over soon. 


Well this end of the week is transfers, so we´ll see what happens. 

Until then,
Elder Castagno
