Me and my new companion Elder Sales, and a family of the ward.
Hello!
So this past thursday I was transfered. I got a new companion, Elder Sales. He is Brazilian and from Forteleza. Our area is so sweet! Its called Vila Sônia, and its like a ten minute walk from the São Paulo Temple. I seriously fell into heaven, this area is litterally a little America. We have a Walmart, and Mc Donalds, and Brazil's version of Costco, the Missoin office is right next to the temple. So I get my letters like right when they get here! There are like a billion Japanese people that live here. It's the neighborhood with the second most Japanese in Sao Paulo! Everyone is super rich and the ward is super strong! In São Roque there was 70-80 people that were at the sacrament meeting every week, and here in Vila Sônia its over 200! We have 4 ex-Stake Presidents, 5 ex-Mission Presidents, 15 ex-Bishops, and 1 Area 70 in the ward! It's super awesome! Everyone here is super excited to work with the missionaries! There are alot of hills but it will help me keep inshape, and i'll need it, because the lunches here are crazy! Its like a feast of super nice food everyday! Its so crazy!
So this used to be the Assistant to the President´s area but me and my companion are working here now, and the assistants don't have an area, they are just traveling assistants and they just do divisions with other areas every day. So we are still a little lost here. Its hard when you put two missionaries in an area where neither one knows anything! haha but we are getting to know the area and the people.
But it is so crazy here in the City, Sao Roque was so calm and the people on the street would actually stop to talk with me, everyone here is always running and they are always "late for something" There are so many cars and so much noise. But its way cool to have everything so close! (Walmart and Mcdonalds)
I'm so happy with this new area! Its so awesome!
Thanks for all the love and support!
