Things here are calming down. I am getting used to being in a foreign country. I am not shocked anymore when everyone speaks to me in Portuguese and expects me to understand what they are saying. Because guess what? EVERYONE SPEAKS PORTUGUESE! LOL! For a while I was shocked about it. I don’t know why because I am in Brazil
Nothing interesting has happened this week. When I say interesting I mean that I did not find bugs in my bed or I did not find bugs crawling on my food. I did cut my finger really bad yesterday morning on our fan. Please don´t worry about it I cleaned it really good and am taking care of it. It did hurt really bad for a while but I am fine now!
I had to go to the federal police building to sign something for my visa. They fingerprinted me and had me sign the paper three times. I had to sign without touching the edge of the box. It was kinda hard, but I managed!
I was so excited about the Baptismo on Saturday! It was so cool and I am going to try and attach photos to this email. It will be hard because the computer is in Portuguese so I will have someone help me!
During our lessons it is really hard for me to stay focused because I don’t understand what they are saying so I zone out. It is really hard! I try and force myself to listen and I do a lot of the time but sometimes I just can´t and I zone out! People try and help me with the language which is not really that helpful because they don’t know what the words mean in English which is what I really need right now. It is helpful when I conjugate wrong and they correct me. That is helpful.
I don’t really understand the money here it will take some time to get used to it. And my companion says that people selling stuff will see us and say that we are missionaries so they will charge us more because we have money! It’s so dumb! But that is my fate I guess.
You talk about the weather so I will tell you about the weather here. It rains and it’s hot. It rains some more and then it pours! And then it is really HOT! And it is really humid. It is so humid that the envelopes that I have sealed. So, I have to be careful and open it so that I can put letters in it. It’s crazy! But I love the rain here. It really cools down when it rains!
I have also attached some photos of the Manaus Temple
I love ya and hope you are doing well! Please do not worry about me I am fine!
