Subject: A little taste of American enterprise - Brazilian bananas are definitely better.
Hello Everybody!
Guess what! We just went to McDonalds! We decided that we were tired of eating mashed potatoes every P-day, so my companion said he wanted to eat out. We went to the center of town and found a McDonalds in the mall. The moment we walked in the mall I felt completely lost. I´m not really a mall person. Besides that, the mall didn´t feel anything like Brazil. Once we entered, I told my companion that I felt much more at home in the middle of the street market where we bought our fruit this morning. Anyway, McDonalds is a lot more expensive than I remember. It was R$11,00 (about $6.00) for a BigMac meal. I tried to tell Elder Risenmay that for that much money we could buy enough bananas and potatoes to last us the entire transfer, but he said we deserved a treat.
Last week we worked really hard. By the end of the week, we had 22 investigators with a baptism date marked. The real dissapointment was when not one of these people came to church on Sunday. Maybe everyone gets lost with the directions that I give them. It´s something like this: "You know the really big and pretty church on Rua Santa Helena? That´s the wrong church. We´re temporarily located in the warehouse right next door." We do spend as much time as possible trying to personally pick up our investigators before church, but they´re all too spread out.
Well, have fun everybody!
