Dear
Family,
The streets of Brasil are crazy!!!! São Paulo is the biggest city in the world
and is like 10 times bigger then New York City. There are lots of homeless
people. My companion and I handed out 3 book of Mormons so that was cool.
The
first guy was begging for money to buy food so i said I dont have any money but
i have a present for you in Portuguese and then i gave him the Book of Mormon
haha. Our next hand out was to this guy who said his friend is a member and he
happily took it. Finally our last one was to this old lady sitting on some
cardboard and she asked us for some food to eat, we talked to her about the
gospel and how God blesses lives and we read her Moroni 10:4-5 and then gave it
to her, she seemed grateful.
The streets were pretty crazy because we saw
homeless people jumping onto the back of huge buses and holding onto the back
window. We also saw lots of gay people here and this one funny homeless guy
without a shirt was fight dancing and then he saw us laughing and he put his
thumbs up and ran haha.
I did here about Kincade, today Elder Mcgary came and
surpised me!! it was so awesome to see him, he is doing so well and he inspires
me so much. We did an endowment together and we hung out at the temple for
sometime and he was giving me a lot of really really good tips. All the
Brasileiros were super surprised that he looks so white but speaks such
good Portuguese.
Overall i have had a good week, i got a little sick with this
bug going around but I'm already feeling better. This week i learned a lot
through personal experiences with the power of prayer. I hope everyone is doing
well.
Love
you all.
Elder
Toma
