My Christmas music was justified by the weather this week.
Brazil was wonderful this week.
Wonderfully cold. I'm talking 40's. That's not warm and it's especially not warm when you have to sleep in it. Here in Brasil your lucky to have an A/C unit, but no one has ever even thought of a heating unit. So we were very cold this week. It was like I was back on a klondike campout when I was a lil scout. All bundled up all the time with nothing but hot drinks and exercise to get ya warm. Hot chocolate and pushups can do wonders but they aren't a heater
. Also no good sleeping bag. Just 2 thin blankets.
But other than the numbing cold we had an excellent lesson on The Restoration and it was the most smile filled lesson I've ever had! It was awesome! The spirit was there for sure.
Sheet music for me!
Although the morning after, she blocked us. Yeah that's the worst.
We had president interviews wahoo!
I finished the Book of Mormon again!! I read it all the way through in less than a month!! I marked all references to the members of the Godhead and it was amazing. I realized how blessed I am, at my age, to have so much time to get to read the Book of Mormon! I love missions!
I've been making good progress on a special guitar #...
We had an exchange which resulted in stuffed crust pizza and a quality jam session.
We got invited to a churrasco, BBQ, and we had already started our fasts. So we just met the kids and then I taught them how to play K.i.l.l. and in return they taught us how to play queimado. It was so fun to just play with those kids and mess around with them. They got a real kick out of some gringos playing games with them.
I love fasting! It really is a blessing!
I hope everyone has a good 4th of July and remembers how good America is.
