It feels so good to be transferred! It is so funny how every
area has its pros and cons. I am in Santa Cruz do Sul. It is about 2.5
hours from Porto Alegre. It was settled by Germans, so it has huge
German influence. This is cool and hard at the same time. This city is
super pretty. There is this street here that has huge trees on both
sides of the road so it makes like a tunnel of trees. There is also this
GINORMOUS Catholic Cathedral here. Catholic, but SOO pretty at the same
time. Just to let you know how strong the German influence
is.......every year they have Oktoberfest which is one of those huge
German beer festivals. It is the 3rd largest festival like this in the
world. The people here are also WAY LESS RECEPTIVE. I have had doors
slammed in my face here more than in any other area of my mission. It
literally feels like I am in Germany instead of Brazil.
My companion is Sister Carneiro. She is a greenie!
Yep, I am training again. As of yet, she hasn't been bitten by any dogs
or twisted any ankles. She is from Sao Paulo and she is SUPPPPER
hilarious and friendly. I am laughing a ton with her.
Sorry....this week I don't have much time. Maybe
next week! Hahaha maybe! I love you all so much! Next week I will tell
you all something a little more inspiring! I know that Christ lives!
