The mission home was way nice and we had lunch and some orientation when we arrived and then took another bus ride that was almost two hours to the other side of Londrina where me and my companion, Elder Phillipy, stayed the night. The next day, we had to ride all the way back to the bus station for the fiveish hour bus ride to Bauru. It's sooo hard to try and speak Portuguese ALL the time!
I'm so glad I have an american companion so that I can still get help with my Portuguese. Bauru is a crap place. So many people live in literally shacks and stuff they build out of garbage. But the center of town is first world. It is so weird to have first and third world in exactly the same place.
I'll send a few more pictures in another email. A few of these are from the CTM and then others from the field. It is about 30 to 33 degrees everyday here..so it doesn't quite hit 100 degrees every day, luckily we each get our own fan now instead of 1 per room like at the CTM. We've got 14 people that we are teaching right now. People have to go to church at least twice before they can get baptized, so we won't get any baptisms this week but maybe next week! The people are so receptive to the Gospel here! Unfortunately, I only get 40 minutes for emailing in the field, it's better than 30 but not by much, alright, Chau! I'll have lots more to say in the next email.
