It is really weird to be typing English and have the red lines everywhere. But I AM HERE!!!! in Porto Alegre actually. I am in the Intercap ward in the Partenon Stake. It is really sweet. My comp, Elder Thiago doesn't speak English and neither do the other 2 missionaries that we live with. THE STRUGGLE!!! But it is sweet. I just love Brazilians. THEY ACTUALLY SAY MY NAME RIGHT!!!!! Most people say McKay, but they say MACKAY with an accent. It is sweet. And they think that I am a Brazilian from Sao Paulo. That is until I open my mouth. Then my terrible accent kicks in haha. But it is sweet here. I LOVE THE FOOD!!! So great!!!
The plane ride was very long and tiring. I actually didn't leave until like 5 on Monday (the 20th) so I spent the day with the Zone Leaders in Baton Rouge, Elders Knowlton and Campbell. Then I went to Dallas and then Sao Paulo and then Porto Alegre. And I met other missionaries in Dallas. I even sat next to a Sister going to Sao Paulo. Then when I got to Porto Alegre it was like 112 degrees. NAO GOSTO DISSO!!!!! But it is cool.
The work is good here. We have a ton of investigators and they teach us here to baptize in 3 weeks! Elder Thiago gets kinda sad when we get rejected on the street and he sings a hymn out loud and I just think, "I was born in this, molded by it." haha. But the members are really good here and really want to help. Which is awesome!
Sorry I can't say more, but I have very limited time here so I shall depart. Enjoy the pics!! Eu amo voces! Ate mais!!! I LOVE THAT I CAN HAVE THE ACCENTS ON THE WORDS NOW!!!
