My favorite part of the week was Sunday because we were finally able to bring a family to church! (most of the family) It was a very spiritual meeting. Lots of in-actives and investigators were there. We are constantly working here teaching and finding people. My area right now is one of the hardest to baptize in, but we have a firm baptism for this weekend.
These past few days it’s been raining but it cleared up today. I think it rains a little more here during the winter (now). There are palm trees, tropical bushes, cactus (once in a while), parrots, monkeys (very rare and usually in the less populated areas), bananna trees, lime trees, plants with crazy colorful flowers, bamboo…. Although it´s tropical, it’s not “paradise” because there´s no beach or pretty waterfalls haha. It´s different than Florida or California because it´s 3rd world here. All the streams and rivers are very polluted and everything is made out of cement and red clay brick. I’m sure the touristy parts of Brazil must be very pretty. We´ll have to come back and visit!
Tomorrow we´ll go to the temple! I´m excited. It´s been like 5 months since I’ve gone.
Love you all!
