yet another week i guess. life is good in the amazon. i seriously love my area so much. everyone´s crazy. pretty sure that the sun cooked everyone´s brains a little bit. seriously. not one day goes by where i don´t lay in bed at night and think ´what the heck just happened´ ahaha. for example! friday we had an activity in the church and we didnt leave till midnight because the streets were flooded by the rain. i wont tell you how we got out lol. also i learned that the bishop used to be a serious break-dancer (look up video DJ Raidi rebello noite de flashback for proof. about halfway through youll find him)  and lets not even talk about the fashion show by Maria da Paz (the crazy old lady in the ward) featuring her newest garments! 

We also worked this week. lots. in portugues, english, espanhol, and sign language. HA and you wonder why these emails are so wild! anyway thats all for today. love you all lots and email me!

bom dia!! ive made it another week! now is when it gets crazy with portugues bc weve gotta memorize about 80 words a day and 12 phrases. heres something cool! if you didn't know, the sisters in brazil have always been called 'sister tovey' etc bc the nuns are known as the irmas. but starting last week, we will also be called irmas! which is so funny bc all the brazilian people think of nuns when we get called irma lol. but we get our new nametags in the field so that means that my district will be the last people to be called sister if that makes sense! pretty cool.  portuguese is good. someone give senora swartz a hug for me because my spanish is so helpful!!!! im with the sisters in my district all day every day because we also all share a room (which isn't normal) but we are best friends and we have so much fun.  the church is true!

fruit and snails and salvation How was christmas pessoal! Mine was good:) lots of fancy beans and rice and chicken and old ladies that were planning our Christmas since last Christmas haha. I love Vilhena.  My hope for these emails is that they are as honest as possible as you can probably tell haha. But seriously I love the mission. We live off of free food from lunches with members and fruit from the streets. We looove making contacts with the people picking fruit from their yards bc they always give us tons (this week our fridge is full of mangoes, jambu, goiaba, and avocado all free wahooo). As you can tell from the throw-up venture from last week, my companion has been an adventure for sure lol. It´s been raining a TON here which means the giant snails come out to hang (seriously like as big as my foot). Every day we eat lunch with the members which is AMAZING. usually we drink what´s called Tereré which is an herb and everyone shares the same straw oxe. my favorit...
