Hello hello. Good times in Campo Grande. This place is amazing. So much has happened that it would be pretty tough to put it all in one email. We definitely have a huge challenge in front of us. Our area is super diverse economically and massive geographically, our ward is about half less active and the missionaries that have served here in the past have not had much success. With that said, I am feeling super positive about this transfer. We have a bunch of posibilities and are planning on going full bore on our less active situation. It is super interesting, our mission was the highest baptizing mission a few years ago and now it has the lowest amount of active members out of all the missions in Brasil. We are working from 10 a.m. until 10 p.m.
The culture here is so rad. It has a ton of European and gaucho influence as well as some Paraguy culture mixed in with the red neck interior culture that is all through out Mato Grosso e Mato Grosso Do Sul. It's awesome. Nearly every time we teach or make a visit we sit in a circle and drink tereré which is a delicious cold erva mate drink or chimarrão which is similiar but more strong and super hot. I LOVE it.
I am the only gringo around. I love it, it is super cool because there are a ton of white Brazilians here so I blend in a lot better.
We are teaching some awesome people that we have found in the last few weeks, I will tell you more about them next P-Day.
I love you all.
