Howard, Keaton

Olá! I am once again asking for your forgiveness for skipping a week. It has been getting a lot harder for me to work up the will to write an email every week. But honestly, not a whole ton of new stuff has happened. I'll give some of the highlights, though.  About a week ago, we got together as a district to do whiteboard finding in Espinho, where we get a whiteboard, write a question on it, and ask people to answer iI. It went well for about 5 minutes until it started raining. Then we just talked to people underneath awnings and anywhere with cover. Once it stopped, we went to walk along the beachfront with the whiteboard and found this guy that sang songs really well. He put on a concert for us, and it was awesome. He was belting it out and was really good. So that was pretty fun.  Last week for pday, we met as a zone and played a bunch of games and challenges at the church. It was pretty fun. My team was destroying the competition but got brought down right at the end....

Olá everyone! Sorry for not writing last week. Totally flew over my head. It almost did this time too, so I won't have a lot of time to write, unfortunately. But it has been a good past few weeks! We are slowly but surely building everything up here in Espinho. Finding more friends and getting a better feel for the place. We're gonna be starting English classes here in a bit, so that will be fun. Last week's pday was a fun one. We went to this bookstore, Livraria Lello, which is apparently the prettiest bookstore in the world. I think I've talked about it before, but if I'm not mistaken, it is the bookstore that inspired lots of the architecture in the Harry Potter books and movies. It was super cool inside, and they had a lot of cool books redone in special Livraria Lello editions. I ended up getting The Little Prince in portuguese, and it's really cool. The staircase in the middle was really cool, and they had some crazy stained glass artwork and intricate car...
