BRAZIL!!!!!

Well this first week in brasil has been AMAZING! i love it here so much! it is absolutely nuts here! no one knows how to drive! ok....let me rephrase that... they either never learned or they are pro. haha. they are so crazy on the streets. on our way to the temple today we actually hit a ladies umbrella right out of her hand in the bus we were in, cause we were so close to her!

it is really so much better than provo! it is WAY more relaxed, and totally less stressful, but i am learning just as much or more than in provo.

one thing that is super cool is having all of the brazileiros everywhere! cause then my portuguese gets a lot better cause i just talk to them all the time.

one thing that is hard to get used to is the heat!! its nuts here! its winter, but its still about 80 degress, and humidity is crazy high!

i felt so so so lucky to live where i live and have what i have. so THANK YOU!!! oh! about the temple! it was amazing! it has probably been my favorite temple i have ever been too so far. it is amazing! so so so so pretty. but we arent allowed to take our cameras there cause we might get mugged if we pull it out ever. lol. but i think they are going to let us the last p day we are here so we can get pictures with our district and everyone infront of the temple. the MTC is SO much different than provo! its so funny! provo has like 2500 people, and here has about 195.

we actually had TRC this last saturday. which is weird cause here you only have 1 the entire time you are here! in provo we had them every week! but of coarse it is all in portuguese. lol. so i guess its a little harder...but it went really well!!! my companion is still having a really hard time with the language, but i try my best to help him when he needs it, and when i think he can get it, i just let him struggle. lol. i know it sounds bad, but here that is seriously what you have to do because you learn a ton faster that way. so i looked at our investigator because he really wanted to help him out with the frist vision in portuguese. but i looked at him and kind of shook him off in a way. he knew what i was talking about, but you could tell that he felt bad. we have multiple lessons everyday, like with brazilians and stuff, pretending to be investigators and such, and yesterday was i think the best time i have done so far! like it was so nice! our lesson went really well.
