First full week in Brazil......I got my luggage back!

This week was awesome; although I do not understand very much I can sometimes understand things which I think is really cool and the spirit helping me out. :)

I was a little sick this week with a headache which did not feel very good but I kept working anyway; I think it is just adjusting to the hot weather; some members here said that one day was 48 degrees celcius. The Brazillians comment about how sweaty I am, I think they are impressed (if that is the right word for decribing it). :) It is funny because in the middle of the day when it is super hot we are like the only ones working while the people sleep or eat or work indoors.

I got my suitcase back too; it had flamin hot cheetohs in it so there was much rejoicing, as well as a bunch of other stuff.

The people here are really generous too! They always give you their best. 

Going to church we went on a  bus with a bunch of members and their friends.

One thing that is inspiring is my mission president down here in Brazil as a kid growing up would walk to another town (over a mile), take a bus (about an hour), and go to church every Sunday while his Dad stayed home and his Mom supported his father but worked extra to pay for their bus fare to church.

I bore my testimony in Portuguese during sacrament meeting and I think that the people actually understood me!

The food is really good too!

Com muitos sorrisos! :)

Sincerely,


Elder Vernon
