Dallas, A voice called from the front yard. I peeked through the front window and saw a man dressed in blue jeans and a black polo style shirt. He was standing just inside the front gate pleasantly. He said again. Dari sansa. I didn't know what that meant. Uh There's a guy out front. I called to the other missionary. Oh, that's probably Moonshot Reva said from his room, He's gonna help us move. Tell him we're not quite ready yet. Okay, but he's welcome to hang out with you. Okay? I said, I stood up from the chair and opened the door, squinting against the bright afternoon sun. Ah, the elder, the man remarked in Portuguese, he was skinny with a sharp jaw and sparse goatee. I pointed at him, trying to play it cool. So Oh, he replied with a grin. So leader. My brain was like a catcher's mitt waiting stupidly for a simple fastball. But instead when the baseball left Moonshots hand, it transformed into a dozen bouncing ping pong balls. Words clattered all around me and I lunged to catch as many as I could. Only a couple of them nicked the side of my mitt. Leader, missionary. The verb to know as in the familiar. No, not the knowledge. No, I stood there linguistically empty handed and tried to convey at least something intelligible in response. Um Who's l there is no stone pronto kinda must paul de vas a poder um esperar esperar aqui okay. I nodded and paused to see if Moonshot could make any sense of my attempt to say that the elders weren't ready yet and that he could wait here, he said casually.
