Eaí meus amigos! The past week and a half have been awesome. We marked a baptism for this Saturday with our friend, Benvinda, who is absolutely awesome. She is always awesome to teach because she is a sponge for knowledge about the gospel. She loves learning everything about the church and Christ and is super smart too. Sometimes we'll even learn something from her. So we are really excited to see her make that choice! We taught a ton of lessons too, so there was also a lot of walking. My legs have been perpetually tired, and it is getting really hot outside too. It's good though, cause I'm burning off all the calories I eat from the member meals we have, haha. Anyway, we found this family, a mother and son, who we are teaching and they are super cool. They keep asking us to come over multiple times a week, which is awesome and they absolutely love all of the lessons. Excited to see how they progress. We had the chance to go to the temple today, which was awesome! It's ...

Olá everyone! I apologize once again for missing an email. It was a bit of a crazy Monday last week, but I'll write about that a bit later. I'll start with what I missed last week. We had a cleaning check, and they usually send a senior couple to do those, but since our area is so close to the office/President Barcellos' house, Sister Barcellos came to do it. So, my comp and I spent a little extra time and effort cleaning. Fortunately, we passed and so they brought us out for lunch with them. We went to this really good Brazilian place, and they made some of the best food I've had so far on the mission. So that was a really fun day. Then, we had General Conference which was absolutely amazing. Surprisingly we only watched one of the sessions in Portuguese because all the members we went and watched it with really wanted it in English. It was really good, and it's funny seeing how many water bottles everyone started crushing afterward. We even had a few of our friend...
