WEEK 26: 6 Months Babay

Tomorrow I reach 6 months serving a mission in Brazil :O

It´s crazy I´ve been here for half a year. The mish is already 1/4th over. This is home sweet home now. 

I don´t have a day-by-day this week but I´ve got a buuncha rad photos to make up for it.

Just some random things this week:

- We had zone conference this week, that was fun.

- We had a little family night tonight at a member`s house with a few recent converts. We talked a lot about the differences in our languages. We taught them that "what`s your name?" is a cuss word and it was funny watching them repeating it really hushed like it was bad.

- One of my fav families here gives all the Elders nicknames. They call me "Chocolate" because I butchered that word when I first said it at their house. It has a different pronunciation in portuguese haha. Elder Maclay´s nickname is "gata" and that one´s a long story that we´re not getting into.OI

-----------------------------------------------------

Elder Young
