A week of Ups and Downs!

Hello to all you North Americans!! this week has had its ups and downs but all in all it was good. it has almost been a month here and cant believe how crazy time flies!! This past week we got 2 Brazilian roommates and they were the most humble and enjoyable people i have met here. they left yesterday to RIO and wish them the best of luck. Thursday we got to do something crazy!! we took a bus from the CTM to downtown São Paulo and went tracting. It was an unbelievable experience. the bus ride was a story in it self. the best and easiest way to explain it was like the bus from harry potter. It had super sudden stops and it was filled to the brim. The tracting was great and i gave out 7 Books of Mormon. There was one guy that still has an impact on me to this day. he was reading the bible on a couple of steps at the theater and we went up to him and asked if he would like to hear about the Book of Mormon. He was happy to hear our message and said that he was looking for a book like this his whole life. My heart was full and hope that he calls the missionaries to hear more about the church. The gift of tongues is real and without it I wouldn't be able to give him the message that I had. Today we went to not the São Paulo, but to the CAMPINIS temple. it was amazing and it was so quite and pretty resting on a hill all by it self. the thing that shocked me was that there was so many american temple workers. it kinda felt like we were at home. A little side not for my Uncle James.... the air conditioner unit at the time was made by Carrier!! how cool. well that's about it this week and can wait to email you all aging next week. 

 

With much love,
