| Sao Paulo temple |
We went to the Sao Paulo temple this past week and did another
endowment session, but they made us use headphones because the session was in
Portuguese. The Sao Paulo temple is a lot smaller and is surrounded by city. I
like Campinas more, but the inside of Sao Paulo has some cool window glass
drawings.
P-Day I got some good food, an açai ice cream bowl and some meat
kabobs. Tomorrow our district plans on walking the perimeter together and
getting pastels which is supposed to be similar to kolaches only it is fried, I
guess. I´ll find out tomorrow.
I didn´t hear about the museum in Rio
de Janeiro burning, that is sad. The street that we went proselyting on
had a museum on it, someone said the street was like the Time Square of Sao
Paulo. My companion and I got five referrals. We made sure to talk to a lot of
people. I understood the gist of what people were saying most of the time,
although I was wishing that I couldn´t when this old dude was trying to tell us
that we didn´t believe in God. It was filling me with raiva, some anger. But it
is amazing how much I already understand, the good and the bad, haha.
We had a devotional Wednesday night by a guy named Nathan Pacheco which was different because he was a singer and so he sang some
and talked some, in English! He is from Virginia and served in Brazil. Then
Thursday we had a special devotional during the day. I was so stoked because I
thought it was gonna be an apostle, but nope, it was only the Area Seventy,
which was still great. He talked about like mission culture and making sure to
be a part of the culture of miracles, of loving the people and having high
expectations. Sunday Devotional was the Mission President of one of the Sao
Paulo missions and I listened to him without
the headphones to translate and understood basically everything he said. He
talked about how the people are prepared to meet us and had some cool stories.
Caroline is the real MVP in our family, making sure people don´t
steal my spot and carrying out my legacy of always winning. It is great to hear
how she defends me even after being gone a month. Feels like I´ve been here
forever and am super close to my district, but it also doesn´t seem like it has
been that long since when I said bye at the airport. Yet two weeks from today
I´ll be in Porto Alegre. Only one more email day at the MTC after today!
Anyway, I love y’all, Boa sorte!
