The transfer was quick and somewhat easy other than my new companion had 2 bags to take without wheels so we had to carry the whole way home. Also the mission office brought all the packages and I got the package mom sent and had to carry it home with my companion's bags, but the contents were way more than expected but much appreciated! 😁 I shared some stuff with Elder B. Costa before he left and took a picture of everything at home. I though my picture of the nerf gun was a nice touch, so thanks mom (and maybe jonathan)! We didnt really do anything "super cool" this week but we have plans for praia do forte next week week. My new companion is Elder Barros he is from Paraíba which is like 2 states up from Baiha, so he is like native (used to the heat and food). He was a district leader in the last transfer but not anymore; he is somewhat quiet and on the other hand doesnt like to follow all the rules with to which they shoud be followed. He thinks more independently as to "I'll buy what I need" comapred to "lets split the cost because we both will use it"; and the same with lessons, I do my part and he will do his part. I think we are going to learn a lot together, firstly because he doesn´t speak any english except for the word "money" so I've been having to practice my portuguese a lot more and last night I had portuguese thoughts and dreams aswell, so we're making some progress here. I'm at the 4 1/2 month mark on mission so in about 2 months I should be good with the portuguese. General conference is coming and missionaries are only allowed to watch the sunday sessions? Didn't know, and with the time difference they are in the afternoon at like 3-5pm I'm told. I took a picture of a picture that was put in the church building and thought it was funny so I wanted to share; it had 3 pictures of jesus and one of missionaries on the moon, just random and casual. Not much more, Have a great week!
