Não Zona de Cabo #theyknowbetta

Olá friends and family! 

We got to go proselyting this week in the middle of São Paulo! It was definitely the best part of the week/CTM. I was so shocked afterwards that we were having conversations in portuguese! People in Brazil are SO. NICE. I was expecting people to be busy or in a rush, but everyone was so friendly and kind. The best part was walking away and seeing them read the Book of Mormon. I still have so much Portuguese to learn, but I´m excited to get to Fortaleza!! #2weeks. 

Here are the top 10 funny/bizzare things of the week:

1. Everytime I open my dictionary, my eyes go straight to the word "village". I miss that place!! S/o Lance S/o Village esquadra!! 

2. My Portuguese instructor is applying for Grad School, and she said "my meth is good, but I need help with my English" and as a class we repeated "math" and "meth" like five times for her, and she was like "it´s the exact same!" lolz I love Irma Araujo. 

3. One day a giant butterfly landed on my shirt and every time I would shew it away it would come back. I felt like Giselle or Snow White!! 

4. Speaking of bugs, my comp and I had just given a lesson on Sincere Prayers, so we were closing with a prayer on our knees, and a HUGE COCKROACH dive bombed my head!! I started swatting my hair profusely and it was just so typical because I studied humility last week. #literallynochillinbrazil 

5. We finally learned how to say command verbs, and during practicar I performed Meredith Grey´s famous monologue "love me, choose me, pick me" in Portuguese. (S/o shonda rhimes s/o mccall, lexi, brooke) 

6. Whenever my district says anything in English to each other my instructor points at the ceiling and fake cries to show us Heavenly Father cries when we speak English. It´s a savage technique, but it works! 

7. On Pday I experienced my first São Paulo MONSOON! My comp and I looked like we jumped in a pool. It was phire. 

8. This Elder in Sister Osborne and Sister Knoll´s District always makes a "34" with his fingers when sisters/elders are talking because in the #whitehandbook it´s the page about "relationships with others" and I think it is hilarious!! I love throwing people the 34! 

9. I started a humble brag book for my district-- if I had more time I´d give examples, but District 41-A does not have confidence issues!!! 

10. I´m so sad that another set of Brazilian roomies left. Sister Lima and Sister Brito are some of my favorite people ever! Sister Lima´s first name is Estela (star in Portuguese) and my last name is Moon, so were obviously meant to be besties! She is the Brazilian Sofia Vergara, and taught me to say so many sassy things in Portuguese!
