Things this week
Some answers to questions
The phrase "Opa beleza" or "Opa tudo bem" or "Oi prazer" is a greeting.
The formal or informal Portuguese really depends on the person and you change a lot how you talk depending on who you are talking too, but I think I have a pretty good range of formal and informal Portuguese. But it's pretty much the same just some vocabulary that changes or really slang words. We wake up 6:30 am. I don’t know if I’m a morning person but it’s easy to get up at that time,with a purpose or with something already planned to do like exercise or district prayer.
haha You asked if I’m still good at puns. I’m still making jokes ya, but I think my companions think they are "muito Ruim" (really terrible) but I think he’s just laughing on the inside.
Fewer people are asking what country I’m from and instead ask what part of Brazil I’m from.
So my accents getting better!!!!

A few people, this week, thought I was Portuguese from Portugal hahah. My last 2 companions said I have a Portugal accent, hahah.
All the barbers are used to giving military cuts and so I think that my barber got a little carried away and cut it a little short hahah
We got tired of buying bread and so we’ve been baking bread on p-day. It’s way good.
We had a service project on Saturday filling a concrete roof us missionaries and most of the other men in the branch. We made the concrete and went carrying buckets to the roof the whole day. It was a killer. Man we build houses so much differently in the U.S. 2X4 are a lot lighter too hahah
I don’t think the cement with come out of my jeans and shirt but that’s why I chose a gray shirt
Out of no-where our electricity was cut on Thursday. There were a bunch of problems with the contract of the guy that lived here before and his bills weren’t paid, so we are without power. But it isn’t that big of a deal, we are working all day and never are at home so haha

Elder Vera said yesterday “I feel like Joseph Smith or like a guy in1800 writing in my journal by candlelight! hahah
We had the last conference with President it was so good. I was part of a small group that sang "Deus vos guarde" (God be with you).
I love the scriptures. It's not easy to pick a favorite, and it’s not just one verse but its when Alma is talking to Corihor and he says that it’s clear that God exists. We have so many proofs that he does exist and then he says what proof do you have that he doesn't exist and he says that’s right noneI guess you could say that scriptures Alma 30:44 is a favorite, but it's SO HARD TO PICK ONE SCRIPTURE They’re all so good.
I love you all so much
I love the Savior
