Basically,
it's been an awesome week in Teófilo Otoni! We are basically out in the
middle of nowhere, and a 20 hour bus ride from the center of the
mission. The péople here are even more open and friendly here, and super
duper receptive!
My district is awesome, and my companion and
I get along really well. Her name is actually Sister Withers haha,
although you'd never know that from how the brazillians say it haha.
Anyways, she's also pretty quiet, and quite a nerd :P we spent most of
the bus ride (you know, when we weren't sleeping) talking about book
series.
I'll send some pictures of the house so you all can
see it. Well actually it's an apartment. It's pretty small, but there's a
ton of stuff crammed into that little amount of space! We have a
seperate dining room and kitchen, 2 bathrooms, our bedroom, a study
room, a closet-room, and a laundry room, and a balcony! It's really
nice!
The area itself is gorgeous, although really hilly, and
paved with these weird sticking up rocks. Gonna need new shoes after
this I think haha.
The branch here is small, and has a lot of
less actives, partly due to the leadership, but there's some super sweet
people, as well as some youth that help a lot. We just have to be a
little more self-reliant with a couple of things.
This week
was work work work work work! But it was fun :) We met a ton of awesome
people, which I don't have time to tell you about, sorry! The most
interesting parts of the week were the world cup (Brazil won in the last
2 minutes!!!! You should have heard the fireworks and the screaming!
Also, all the classes are cancelled next week just because there's a
game on Wednesday. Crazy.) and the day that I got super bad cramps and
spent an hour on the bathroom floor (my companion and an awesome member
rescused me, and then the member took us out to a really nice restaurant
for lunch) and the fact that I sliced my finger open this morning. But
don't worry, I'm ok :)
Although I'm also out of time, sorry!
I love you all, and I'll tell you more about it next week!
