Sister Maxfield in Salvador Brazil

BOM DIA It has been a hot minute, but we've been partying it up these past 3 weeks!! Here's a lil run down (in somewhat chronological order) Highlights!! - played soccer with Pedro and all his friends and at the end Vinícius said "you guys lost to 2 pobres sisteres, 1 velhinho, e 1 cega!" (2 poor sisters, 1 old guy, and a blind lady) - We got açai at our favorite place as least 4x a week - we made spicy ramen at Irmã Luci's house. Like so spicy that I was literally crying. - we got lost in a neighborhood called "the volcanoes mouth" (you can just imagine) when it was late and very dark. - got McDonalds with president!! - watched general conference!! So so good and it just made me so much more excited (if that's even possible) for the temple to open here in Salvador! (Hopefully I have updates on that soon) - and sadly said goodbye to my cute guatemaltecan sister Garcia and..... I got transferred to Brotas with Sister Campos (from São Paulo)! Brotas si...

And just got worse from there. - irmão Mardel made us a Bahian lunch: muceca com camarão, caruru, rice, beans, farofa. The Bahians use this super strong orange oil in their food, so basically all Bahian food looks orange. But it was delicious. - as we were walking to a lesson one night, we had to stop to call another investigator. The only place safe enough to pull out the phone happened to be the bar on the beach. So if you saw 2 Mormons walk into the bar the other night, woops. - helped my favorite irmã put together 30 gifts with the BoM to give away to all of her neighbors!  - had a lesson with a former Buddhist (never thought I'd see that one in brasil) - Our cute friends Valdilene, Iracema, and Armando...
