This week was the first week working in Petrolina, I'm still getting to know the place, people, companion, and everything. It is confirmed, its VERY HOT here with a low during the night of 77F and a high of 95-100F this week. My new companion, Elder Amorim, is great. He is brazillian, more specifically from "Minas" and he is awesome, he is a little quirky like me which is great. We are serving in the Petrolina 1 ward which was like the first ward here so its the closest to the center of the city, which also takes part of our proselyting area. So this area is more city life with catching buses, dealing with crazy people in the street, and muggings/robberies. We are current living in the house/area of the zone leaders because the house was recently robbed (before I got here) and president didn't authorize that we return, but today they said we can go back to living there after we change the locks; however, we have to start looking for a new house at the same time thats a little more secure because apparently this house has already been robbed several times. But its all good. I had my first district meeting this week too, it was good, I gave a training about how we should use the book of mormon, nothing special. I also got to do my first baptism interview as district leader. I took some pictures of the big catholic church with a big christmas tree of lights that was cool. The members in this ward like to give money for some of our lunches so the pictures of us eating yakisoba was because of them. And the last photo is of my companion :)
I ran out of time to say much more but this is basically how things are going here.
Love you people! 😎🌞
