Hello everyone.
my second week was pretty busy as well. and whats a good
week without a lot to do. But, all this begginning of the week, weve had so
many meetings nad stuff. Like, for almost every morning, somethings been
happenning. Busy busy busy. Either a zone meeting, or a district meeting, or
other things. We teach all day, and have meetings all day, and walk around all
day. Its pretty dang sweet!!
So Im sure your all wondering whats its like on my mission,
In Caxias! and Serrano! well. where I prosylite, there are only cobble stone
roads, and theyre really really bumpy. We walk everywhere , and there are tons
of hills. THis place is a lot like Oregon per say. Its super green, trees are
everywhere, and it rains a lot (not like Oregon though, this is preiodic rain)
and like no evergreens Ç(. Which is really sad.
So the people are the nicest people ever. They give us so
much food, and love to talk, and are humble and kind. They are all awesome
people. There are many families I have become friends with. The only problem is
that their names are too difficult to remember, and i dont know their last
names, and that im not fluent in portuguese. but other than that, its the bomb.com.
And the language! the language is coming a long, and
imroving much much faster than it did in the CTM. Im learning a lot of words
and learning how to speak better. I think in a few more weeks, ill be able to
do a lot more things, simply because i can speak better. But, one of my
favorite things here is Chemarrao. Its a drink of grass pretty much that you drink
out of a rounded wooked cup through this fancy metal straw. and pretty much
everyone here has them. Rare is the day that I go without Chemarrao
and last but not least, we had our first babtism this past
week. A sweet old lady. and after that, we had a little program, then it turned
into the ward christmas party, with really good food!! It was fantastic!!!
Love you all, and make sure you thank God every day for the
things you have!
