Oi Familia! Another week has come and gone here. I get my flight plans 2 weeks from today so we are way excited! We taught the first lesson on the Restoration on Monday in Portuguese and it went pretty well. The hard part about it is that all the volunteers speak Brazilian Portuguese which has a different accent and a few different words and we aren’t familiar enough with the language to understand them with the heavy accent yet, but we could understand him pretty well. I look back at a month ago when I knew absolutely no Portuguese and now 5 weeks later I’m teaching a lesson without memorizing a bunch of phrases I don’t know, not reading from a script, but actually pulling things together in my head and speaking Portuguese! It really is amazing how much the Lord has blessed me.
We will be the oldest district on Tuesday which is really strange. We are more than 2/3 the way through the MTC! It feels like I’ve been here forever but at the same time it has flown by way fast. Well, my laundry is done so I have to go but I’ll write again soon! - Elder Brown
