Picture Chancho (from Nacho Libre, but with a couple extra pounds and glasses)
This is Elder Auqui
Picture Carlton (from Fresh Prince of Bel-Air) but with the Michael Strahan tooth gap and the stature Kevin Hart. This is my new companion
First day, Chancho came in and was like, hi guys, my name is Elder Auqui, but everyone calls me Gordinho (which translates to little fatty). I answer to both
Okay Elder, I think we'll get along just fine
His FIRST day in Itatiba, we were in the chapel, cleaning for the zone conference. He walks into the bathroom, very clearly marked BROKEN, DO NOT USE, to deliver a little Peruvian gordinho.
I'm locking the gate to leave, to go to lunch, his companion comes running out. "Elder Schenewark, if you don't talk to my companion. I'm gonna punch him in the face". oh, okay, I'm going. I get there, he's practically crying. "Elder Schenewark, the water started rising and it won't stop and it's already flooded the bathroom, what do I do, I don't know how to stop it, please help".
Then, I started crying, from laughing soo hard. I ran up the stairs laughing, splashed my way to the bathroom, sure enough, dying laughing, ran to the water shut-off that turned out to be the gas shutoff, still laughing, climbed the side of the the story chapel, laughing, to get to the water tank on the top.
Shutoff, the water was about 6 inches, two little Lamanites taking a bath, flooded three rooms and the hall way. Four hours cleanup. And I never stopped laughing once. The funniest thing I may have ever seen.
I was named Master Steak Chef at our end of transfer Brazilian BBQ, first American ever to in the honor. The trick, leave the steak mooing
We have two barbers in our ward and I needed a haircut. So they started fighting over me, trying to get me to go to their barbershop. First, 10 reais, you're paying 1/3 of the price. I'll do it for 5. You know what, I changed my mind, he's a missionary, I'll do it for free. Well, just to show how willing I am to serve a servant of the lord, I'll do it for free and buy him lunch after.
That last one pretty much sold it for me. But I told the losing barber he could have the pleasure and honor next time.
AND the Patriots are in another Superbowl. Surprise!! Not really, called that one. Let's Go Pats
And it's been good. We're still alive down here. Apparently, there are some big changes coming to the mission field soon, so be on the lookout for those .
Also, found pictures
Love,
Elder Churrasceirão
