Tyler Bremner Campinas Brazil Mission

  Mon, Apr 24 This week was honestly busy enough that i didn't even realize that pday was coming, it feels like i just showed up to today, pday came without me even seeing it coming, the majority of this week we spent in amparo, it was a week of us just walking and delivering books of Mormon, we had a lunch with members were we just talked about differences between life in Brazil and in the us, many of you may remember a conference talk where eating avocados with sugar was considered really strange and unordinary, well this week i learned that to Brazilians its not only completely normal to eat avocados with sugar, but even more interesting they feel the exact same way we felt in that talk, they find it really really really strange the idea of eating avocados in any salty way (guacamole) or any other way than a sweet sugary way, i still haven't tried it out yet but maybe i will soon, in the end I'm just sad they don't eat guacamole here, maybe I’ll have to learn how to ...

  Mon, Apr 17    This week was the most successful week we've had or I’ve had in the whole mission as far as numbers go, we had the most lessons and most new people and most in person lessons that I’ve ever had, so that was pretty cool, we taught one sister who was a reference from a member, it was a really awesome lesson with other members who helped out a lot, and we even made the goal with her to get baptized on the 19th of April, so be praying for sister Teresa for us, it was the third time we taught her in person and the last time we had taught her we brought two other elders with us, and this time we said we would bring two other members with us, and she did not know what that meant so she made food for six people when we only showed up in four, we finished the lesson at like 8 o'clock at night and she starts bringing out a ton of rice and beans and noodle and meat, that my comp is claiming is ox meat, it was so much food, and the members were like you guys need to ...

Mon, Mar 27    This week was an awesome week, it's was incredibly busy and stressful too It started off with heading an hour and a half bus ride north to do an exchange with our zone leaders but in order to take that hour and a half bus ride north we had to take an hour bus ride south to Campinas first, so after that bus ride to Campinas, we had to then snag another bus to go to mogi guaçu, it was a little less fun because we had to take all our stuff like our suits and stuff for zone conference that would be the next day, well when we went to buy our next bus tickets they informed me my ID wouldn't work, so i then called the secretaries to see if they could send me a picture of the new photo id receive tomorrow at zone conference, they sent me a picture, and so i went back in line and waited and they said that a picture wasn't good enough, so then our zone leaders call us with the idea of the secretaries sending an uber with the id to me, so we called the Sec's and the...
