So this week has been great! I first went out
after emailing last week and got a Flamengo (a soccer team in Río) jersey, got
a free cookie and I showed some people a food place that is amazing.
We also gained Sister Davila and an Elder
Carlson who is my new companion with Elder Deal! (Not sure if I emailed about
him last week but he is from Nebraska so that is cool.)
We have exercise time during the day and we are
constantly playing volei (volleyball) and everyone is killing it. It is a lot
of fun especially since Elder Carlson does a handshake whenever something good
happens so we kind of do it a lot.
We then did some proseletismo [proselyting] in
the biggest street in São Paulo which was really interesting. We were handing
out Book of Mormons to just random people and it was hard! There were a lot
that didn’t want the book but we did hand out three. The first guy was a
security guard who basically just asked us to hand him a Book of Mormon. The
second guy was a minister for some Christian church and thanked us for the book
so hopefully he reads it haha. And finally the last guy was the street artist.
He was just painting these really small paintings and we just walked up and
tried to speak Portuguese and he tried back and then said that he was actually
was better at English so we then talked in English for about 30 minutes about
the church and he seemed really interested and he said he would read it so
there is hope! The coolest part though was that he was from Georgia, which is
the country right by Russia which I thought was awesome.
We have been doing splits and teaching each
other which has helped with the Portuguese. Also, the devotionals are the best
here, especially when we get the MTC exclusive videos.
One final thing, I have the best district and
can’t believe that I will be leaving for the field in 3 weeks! Thanks for all
your support! Talk to you all soon!
Love,
