This week was a bit of a rough one.  It started out really good, then after a district meeting and being told that a certain amount of lessons per week was "unrealistic" made the rest of the week a real drag.  There was a set of Elders who supposedly got over 40 lessons last week and we were told that it was impossible, sad part is we had 37 lessons and though we could have done more.  Really surprised us on what happened.  Other than that it was not a very exciting week.  We are going to be doing some looking for others and hope that they are not the same way.

Got to do some interesting service for a Sister in the branch this past week.  We went to help her pick a fruit called Acai.  I had to support the ladder while Elder Ambrose climbed and used a long stick to get most of the fruit down.  It's a very high limb in which it hangs from.  Also got to try an awesome shrimp soup.  With full shrimp in it!  It was really good.  Honestly I wish I have some more awesome stories but again nothing really happened this week.

Right now we are trying so hard to improve the branch and we are not getting a lot of help from members.  Mostly because all of the ones who are not working are also less active, which is not a help to the few who are.  They are having to take more of the work load and it's tiring.  We are able to enjoy ourselves though.  We are planning a Christmas party soon.  Sadly they actually do nothing for Thanksgiving.  Just keep working.  I hope the Christmas season brings more adventures.
