I'm in Brazil !!!

 

Hello everyone, I am alive and made it to Brazil! 

>UPDATES 

So, I was home for about 7 weeks and did Physical therapy and my knee is pretty much all healed and I’m back to normal activity other than sports. I was Cleared by the doctor and then by the church and they gave me travel plans so now I'm here in Brazil!

 

>TRAVELING 

Traveling was very long. My first flight was at 8:30 on Friday from Ontario to Dalles Texas and then I waited in Dallas, and our plane was delayed until 9pm because of the weather. Then it was about a 10-hour flight to são Paulo and because it was late when I got to são Paulo I had to hurry because my next plane left in 2 hours and i needed to get my bags go through customs and then re-check my bags and then go through security and get on the plane. Luckily with lots of running I was able to do all of it and make it with 5 minutes to spare. I ended up getting to Brasilia at about 2 pm on Saturday so it was lots of traveling. But then I had lunch with the mission president and his wife and the assistants of the president. 

 

>UNAI 

Unai is my first area. It was a 3-hour bus ride east of Brasilia and it had the best seats ever. They were very comfy, and I slept almost the whole way. I got off at the last stop at 8:30 and then waited for my companions to pick me up. Elder Paz is from Argentina and Elder Bangerter is from Utah. After they picked me up, we went to a wedding, and it was great. I couldn’t understand a lot, but everyone was super happy and friendly. 

 

DOMINGO (Sunday)

To start we walked a ways to pick up 3 kids they have been teaching and then went to the church. The sacrament meeting was great I couldn't understand anything and was still tired from traveling so it wasn't a good mix. On Saturday they had a baptism, so I was able to be there for the conformation and giving 2 of the members the priesthood. Then we had lunch, and it was great. It was like a creamy shredded chicken mix over rice. Then we went back to our apartment and did some weekly planning and goals.  

After that we went to go visit one of the members that lived kind-of far and we gave him a blessing. Then on the way back it started raining so we got drenched in rain, but it was still very fun.
