Brasil! What a crazy week!
Brazil is pretty different than the states! The people are really nice and awesome. I mean at least i think, Im still wondering if the MTC taught me the right language... But its great! The driving is crazy. People just drive and its crazy. Kind of gets you scared for your life! But its awesome.
The main meal here is lunch! The members feed us lunch every day! Its pretty great. The meat and rice here are way better than in the states. The main things ive eaten here are rice, beans, meat, and tomatoes. Brazilian barbeques are the best.
There is a drink here called terere. Thats what you drink when you go to peoples houses. You sit in a circle and pass around the terere and talk. Its pretty interesting. It is definitely an aquired taste. Im starting to like it. Stray chickens, cats, and dogs are everywhere here. They say when they have no food they just go grab a chicken and cook it up. That should be fun when that happens!
The language is coming. I thought i knew a pretty good amount of portuguese back in the states until i came here. Its like starting over again. They talk pretty fast and with an accent. But its pretty fun and im understanding more every day. Apparently i look like i can be from some parts of brazil and some people are surprised when they find out i am from the us. Its pretty fun joking around with people pretending im brazilian at first.
But there is one thing that is the same and thats the church! The gospel is the same here, in the US, and everywhere. The same gospel that Jesus Christ established on the earth. And in it we can find comfort, peace, and joy! Because life is the gospel. I love it.
