Week 073 - Smart People Take Precaution Of Such Things As Mind Control And Eyeball Possession


Hey Fam,
I’m super sorry that the last letter did not arrive, that’s super lame. It’s weird because I don’t know how to tell if the letter arrived, because on my emails it says that the letters were sent. But don’t worry I’m doing great!
In fact I’m doing too great, the demons have not been able to control me lately because I’ve been wearing my glasses. We have been teaching a man who wears sunglasses inside his dark home. I never questioned it until he mentioned that we were smart people. I was flattered of course and then I asked, why? Apparently demons only can control you through your eyes, so we have to wear glasses to protect our eyes from the demons. To me that sounds reasonable of course, because we do the same by putting tinfoil on our heads to protect us from the aliens trying to read our minds. Us smart people take precaution of such things as mind control and eyeball possession.
We’ve been recently working in neighborhood called The 17 de Octubre. For some reason most neighborhoods are named after a special Argentine date. This is the same in every city, street, and neighborhood. But 17 de Octubre is the coolest of neighborhoods. I would actually define it as a Brazilian New Orleans. The houses first off are just built like Brazilian houses; if you look up Brazilian neighborhoods online you would probably get the picture. But every time I go down the streets of 17 de Octubre, jazz is playing from all directions. There’s this fella that’s always playing the saxophone on is 2nd story apartment. But it’s not really jazz that’s playing, its bossa nova. Guys you got to get into bossa nova. Its Brazilian jazz, and it’s tooooo fresh. And everyone that lives in bossa nova town is so cool. They just give us food and stuff all the time. I’m a bossa novian. There’s like no graffiti laws, or no one cares, because there’s so much graffiti there too, but it’s not that crappy graffiti, it’s the good stuff, and a lot of it is racist.
Speaking of music. Somehow I got a new "calling" in the branch and I’m now the designated music conductor in the branch. The first day I showed up to church I was asked to direct the music. And because of mom, I’m way good at waving my arm around, and everyone was so impressed that I am now forever the guy who waves his hand around while singing great tunes.
Osvaldo passed his interview for baptism and should be baptized this Saturday, he asked me to baptize him because apparently my companion can’t lift up that kind of weight and everyone in the branch is way old, so it was unanimous… only Elder Greene’s long arms could baptize a man such as Osvaldo. But I am happy to do so. He’s really excited. It’s really weird because he understands all the doctrine, but at the same time cannot answer basic questions such as, what did Jesus do? The thing is though, he does know what Jesus did because he tells us, just not when you ask him in a question.  He actually has not told his wife and kids that he is going to be baptized, so it’s kind of questionable if he will be baptized if he doesn’t tell them. Because we think it’s a very good idea not be baptized in secret. He’s got some family issues and is scared to tell them, so that’s what we are working with this next week.
That’s all the good stuff this past week I’ll send you some great picks.
I’m totally psyched out of my mind to be getting some Torchys Tacos when I get back, hopefully the line still isn’t too big!
I love you guys!
Elder Greene
