Elder Dane Durante: Killer Bus!

There have been many "fake"/ "failed" appointments this past week and I still have 0 baptisms, I went to our weekly district meeting and didn't notice till I was on the bus that I was naked (without my name tag) so I just winged it and made one. There have been a lot of pals in our house (aka ants) and I’m starting to get triggered. On top of that, my shirts are nasty dirty and look like the teeth of a smoker and I’ve only been in the field for about a month, but I’m trying out things to fix that. The Lord has blessed me in many cool and weird ways. One time I was dying of heat and was covered in sweat, so I asked Him for a breeze and I said, "Now" out loud and all of a sudden a breeze came - so that was pretty neat. We went and worked in some other missionaries area one day as a zone (blitz). Their area is Timon. There is crazy driving on the streets! I almost got killed by a bus while walking on the sidewalk and earlier that week the Uber that we rode in got rear ended but they just kept driving on. There have been many great encounters with people here in my mission. Many snakes (Brazilian ladies lookin for a green card) and drunks have hugged me, stroked my arms and back, and have kissed me on the hand. There was a time when I had no money with me this week and we were stranded in the main part of Teresina because we couldn’t pay for an Uber to get back home, but we went to a bank and got some money. We had a fast this past weekend and then right after I broke it, the bishop came up to us and was like "you need to fast again this Tuesday" so that sucks. I mean yayyy. I also have been better about studying the scriptures. Okay guys, I'll see ya next week!
