| Conference weekend in Taguatingua |
We are doing a zone activity
right now at the church, playing some soccer and stuff. The week flew by!!
Conference was so awesome!!! I’m wondering if it is always that good and I just
haven’t paid attention or it was just that much better :) haha I watched it all in English, except
priesthood session was only in Portuguese since they recorded it from the
previous night. It is totally different watching it in Portuguese.
The next pictures are of me and my boy Elder Sales, pronounced
Saul-E-zz
He is awesome, from Brazil and in my zone. We have
grown really close
The other guy is Elder Labrada. He was born in Brazil but lives in
California, and is fluent in both languages. He entered the Brazil MTC on July
24, but was only there for 2 weeks.

First experience eating Açaì
It is so goood!!! it is made from a fruit here. It is
like frozen yogurt with bananas, and granola.
I had it on Friday when I went on exchanges with Elder
Magustero, Sales, and Cottrell.
Elder Sales wanted to document the whole first experience.. hahah love that
little Brazilian.

| Açai probs...purple mouth |
Our house. Trust me when I say pics don’t do it
justice... hahah. IT is soooo badddd. You drop a shirt after ironing and it
looks like you rolled in the mud.. hahah
We kill several cockroaches everyday. A few months ago someone killed a
rat on top of the counter here.
My first two packages, one from Grandma Bean and one from Grandmama. Love it.

The Santo Antonio version of
McDonalds. haha. I saw it when we were walking around. I am pretty sure
that is against the law... but oh well haha. Taguatinga has an actual McDonalds.

The post office and banks here are on a somewhat
strike. haha. Its just lame. Its not a Real strike. just like a mental
thing.
The language is coming along better, still struggling,
but better :)
Btw my birthday is a big holiday here. Children’s day!! Haha
It has been raining a lot lately, like every other day
for the past week. It is nice except for when I have my suit on... like
today... haha. It rained when we got back from Taguatinga (we just spent the
night last night in Taguatinga so we didn’t have to travel back here last night
and then back this morning). But it was fun running and being dorks in the rain
trying to find cover :)
I love you all so much!!!!! I am so grateful to have
yall. I thank Heavenly Father everyday for how I am so blessed and lucky to
have the family that I do.
You keep me going and motivated and encouraged.
I love you soo much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We're heading out to teach Danilo we are hoping to still baptize him this weekend. He is ready spiritually he just needs to give up smoking.
We are going to see him tonight to see if he is home and if everything is
ok. Hopefully all will work out so he can still enter the waters of baptism
this weekend. He is so elect. It is amazing how much Heavenly Father has helped
and intervened. Danilo is an awesome guy. We also committed Luan, a 14
year old boy who has been taught by several companionships, to a date for
October 19th!! I love that kid!! He reminds me a lot of Rhett. Just how he
acts. haha. He’s awesome. His parents don’t want anything to do
with it but they want Luan to be baptized. They are respecting his choice which
is awesome. He has an older brother who is like 22 who was baptized about 5
years ago.
Love, Elder Bean
