Hey everyone!
I’m doing fine!
Brazil is a little crazy right now but I definitely feel safe. All of Brazil is
in a state of protest because of a lot of things. Mostly because of the cost of
transportation, and the money the government is spending for the world cup/ Olympics.
Naturally when a few big issues like this arrive and people protest, more
problems are brought up. This week was also crazy because it was a huge week of
fiestas/ holidays. São João. Everyone eats foods made from corn and there are
tons and tons of fogeiros/ bonfires in the streets. I saw one about 2 stories
high. We baptized 3 more people this weekend. That was really awesome.
There
have been a bunch of protests in Recife of about 150,000 people. One day my
comp and I were on the bus heading to our zone meeting at the Stake Center and the
bus stopped and there was a wall/line of fire across the street. No one could
pass there was a line of busses that were stopped. My comp and I were about 2 and 1/2
miles from the Stake Center so we decided to run through the fire and walk the
rest of the way. I took a few pics hahaha for the most part its really peaceful
in Ponte. President Lanius, our Mission President will aid if our area gets too rowdy near our house. For
the most part I agree with the protest but its stupid when people get all crazy
and break stuff like busses because the money it costs to repair or to buy new
stuff all comes from the people.
Anyway
the Lord is truly blessing us and I am feeling awesome!
Love,
