Yea transfers gets ya when you are getting things rolling. My companion just got transferred and and will be leaving tomorrow. So a new companion and new adventures coming up! Luckily I am still here in Paradice and guess what, in our zone we will be holding an Open House for the new chapel building in Maria Rosa and area in our zone. The president put me in charge of organizing the missionary force to help out. We will basically be in front of the building talking to people and getting them in to the church to go on a tour. Hey why are all our church building lame, have you seen the chapel building here? wow they are all huge and very beautiful almost like a temple. I will take pictures of our chapel building for you to see.
Found out the other day that we will be going to the temple on the 17th in the morning so I am going to take advantage and eat with the Cavalcanti's.
It's going to be really cool when you guys can see the temple here it is very pretty.
Just wait until you see my areas, they are all favelas, but don't let that scare you some of the nicest and coolest people that I know live in them. I have been talking to my companion these days about how awesome are these people. They are super open and loving, they will let total stranger in and give them food and water to drink and they are really funny. They are a lively people and it's hard to find someone sad, it seems that they are a really humble people and are just glad to have a house to live in and food to eat (rice and beans). I love rice and beans, I think I will have to take a panela de pressão (precision cooker) with me just to make rice and beans equal. I will have to ask the Cavalcantis what they have in the states and what they don't have so I can go ahead and get the stuff that the states don't have.
This week we are going to have a few baptisms of some really cool people.
Wow what a great conference! Luckily the stake center is relatively close to our area so it wasn't as bad as Devin's mission where he had to hitch a ride in the back of a truck. The good part of living in São Paulo is everything is close together. For example, every 2 houses has a hair salon and every 3 houses has a church that yells a lot and every 4 houses is a small store to buy food and every viela "alley" has an elect person to be baptized. It's good to be here on this mission I am really going to miss the people, the housing haha, the pizza and great experiences that I have had.
Time is up and I got to get out of here, sorry no big stories this week, but next week for sure I will have one. Love you all so much Tchau!
