Hello! So this past week was awesome! It rained a lot and we were super busy but it was sweet!On Monday I went on my first division or (spits). So I spent the day in Sorocaba with a Brazilian Elder named Elder Lopes as my companion. It was way fun, but I realized how much I love São Roque, and how much i like serving in a small town. So i finally figured out what São Roque remindes me of: It feels a lot like Sedona, AZ... its kinda a tourist town, but only for locals... its like a get away, so there is always more people here on the weekends, but its really European feeling. Its sweet cause like every other weekend there is some kinda festival going on. In two weeks they are having the Artichoke festival, which I guess is really big here. Its so fun!
We are seeing alot of success here! Its so awesome! The area has been exploding and so many people are accepting baptismal dates! The Lord is just pouring out more blessings that we can handle! So we have a family that has baptism dates for the 10th of October, but the mom and dad aren´t married, so we gave the option to get married or move out, and the mom and kids are going to move out. So we are going to help with that this week, and we have zone conference and General Conference so its a busy next couple of days. Then on Tuesday we are going to take this family of 3 to the Sao Paulo temple for the day and teach them about temples, because they lost a 17 year old son a couple months ago. We are really excited, it should be a really good experience for them! Other than that, the work is going well. We are just super busy and I am loving it!!!
Today we went to a member's house at like 10am and she taught us how to make Brazilian Stroganoff. It was so good!

We made some brownies... they didn't turn out so good. Our oven is really weak and so for like 30 minutes it wasn't nearly hot enough and so then we finally figured that out and turned the heat up, then they baked. We still ate them, but they werent the best tasting. We will try it again tho.
Other than that, nothing else is really going on. Im still alive and haven´t gotten sick yet (knock on wood) But everything is going great and Im loving every minute of it.Thanks for all the love and support! Elder Schoen
