Chilly in Brazilly

So we´re finally having a bit of a cold spell here in Bauru. It was actually just a bit cold, which was paradise for me. But as for all the Brazilians here...you´d think it was a winter in downtown New York or something. Everyone was walking around in coats and sweaters and scarves, meanwhile I was loving it. Actually, yesterday was important, because it was the first day since I left the US that I didn't sweat a single drop. It was pretty awesome.

Hmmm, this week wasn't too eventful. More of the same, and I'm getting more and more used to things here. Right now Elder R. J. is on his way to Londrina to renew his visa, so I´m staying at the house of the Zone Leaders tonight. (On a side note, I've never been able to go to bed on time when we have to trade houses. Seriously, last time, my former zone leaders held a big wrestling match with the mattress, and when things finally settled down and I was saying my nightly prayers, all three Elders tackled me! But luckily I was able to fight them off.)

Yesterday, while we were walking around, a guy stopped me (kind of an older man) and asked me if we were Catholic. When I responded “No” he said “No? No?! Shut up!” Then he just continued walking. I dunno if he was just a little drunk or what, but I was pleased that I was able to answer his question about the church.

Well, I think that´s it for this instalment. Sorry it´s not long, I´ll try harder next week.

Excelsior!

Kylen's home already? Sheesh, those two years weren´t very long. That´s weird how fast time passes. I mean, I´ve almost got 6 months, Rob and Alex with have a year this July, Andy comes home in August, Jeremy comes home in Dec., and Dave will be home in March. I´m trying to work harder as I realize that this time here is pretty short. Language is coming along better. Sometimes better than others... bye.
