So the truckers in the whole country went on strike due to the ridiculously high diesel prices. The nation´s truckers are all taking vacation in the middle of the highways. As an effect, they block off the highways and dont allow anyone to pass, even the truckers that dont want to protest. So, nothing is being transported, food, water, gasoline, clothes, livestock, nothing. It is having a huge affect on the country. Here in Apucarana it has been difficult but that bad honestly. The markets have less and less things for purchase after each day, and members are without means of helping us with car rides and the investigators dont have anyway to go alone because the church is far away and even the busses aren´t circulating anymore. The intercity busses as well, which makes divisions and baptismal interviews difficult. Luckily the members are still able to help the missionaries with lunches for now, but President Pereira has already avised us about everything and we are following his procedures. Everything will be alright.
This week we had a baptism of a young man named Eduardo (Edward). He is 22. He was a reference from a member and just a pretty easy experience. Working with members on the mission is the best. Edward is my 50th baptism!!!! We bought two pizzas to celebrate! Wahoo!!!
I hope you guys have a great week! I love you!
