So I got moved this
week to Abolição. Cool name right? Abolition (is that a word in
english?) Anywhoot we are living in Meier which is in another zone.
It is super hard to find a house in Abolição and the next area over
(Engenho de Dentro) is sisters, so we live in the next
area over. It is pretty entertaining because we are 6 elders in one tiny
house, so you can imagine the craziness that happens there. The elders
are super cool. There are a couple of other americans in the house-
including my comp elder Bitnoff. He served about a year in Colorado
wating for his visa, so he doesnt really understand Portuguese yet, but we are
working on it together. He is pretty funny, and way chill. For now
we are sleeping on the floor and living out of our suitcases because they dont
have space to put more furniture in here. We have made it our priority to
find a house in our area so we can be a little bit more organized.
I was sad to leave
Ramos. I was only in that area for 6 days with Elder Martinez, but we
became really quick friends and worked really well together. It seemed
like every person that came to the door turned into a new investigator, and it
seems like a few of them even went to church yesterday! Atleast I can
feel that I left that area better off than I found it.
One of the elders in
our house has like 10 months on the mission (american) and is super trunky.
He keeps asking me questions about what it is like to be ending the
mission and all. haha. For me, I cant really imagine not being on
the mission. Weird.
Over in Ramos, most of
the place is hills with favela. Right by the church there is a hill that
is called Morro Adeus. Scary! From on hill to the other, they
constructed little zip lines that have little cars that run on it (like the
sugar loaf mountain). They are only one real to use!!! On my last
day there, Elder Martinez and I went up to see what it was like and to get to
know a different part of the area. Super cool!
Well, Im going to have
to go now,
Love you!
Elder Stinnett
