Week #44
First off, I have only seen the Sunday sessions of General Conference and what I saw I liked. Don't spoil the rest for me. We'll watch it this Saturday.
Second, this week was a little bit slow, but we started to explore some more remote areas and have met some really good people.
Third, my mother's questions.
Tell us about the people you live with. I live with just Elder Vieira. He plays lots of pranks and is from Matogrosso do Sul.
Are there any Americans in your home this transfer? No.

Do you all sleep in the same room? Depends upon the house. You always sleep in the same room as your companion.
Do you have a washer to wash your clothes? Yes, but it's nowhere near as nice as what Americans are used to.
What is your day like from the time you wake up until you go to bed? Study, walk, walk, eat, walk, teach, walk, walk, teach, teach, walk, walk, teach, walk, plan, sleep.

Does it rain everyday? Is it still hot? No. Yes. Sometimes both at the same time. I don't like those days.
Are your shoes lasting? Do you need new things? Shoes are fine. Not that I think of.
What is Brazil like? I don't know, but Rio Grande do Sul has a lot of beef, black beans, and Gauchos.

Are the people kind? Some yes, some no.
Do dogs chase you? No, they just bark a lot and some come a lot closer than others. There's one in particular that certainly has bitten several people. Most dogs don't really care about you and others think you're their best friend.
What is the weirdest food you have eaten? The tomato sauce here is horrible. It does not resemble the flavor of tomatoes. Lasagna also isn't made with pasta. It's more of a crepe with chicken or beef and that horrible sauce. Somehow Lasagna is still good. Really, everything is basically the same food with the same name, but with one or two different ingredients.

Are there big bugs down there? I've killed some big cockroaches. It's really weird when one climbs up your leg and by the time your companion has time to tell you, it's already entering your shirt collar. Really weird feeling to have something that big crawling on your neck. Other than that, no. The bugs are about the same. Also, did you know that Chile does not have cockroaches?
Do you play soccer on your p-day? Not yet.
How many miles do you walk in a day? A normal day is probably between 6 and 8. Some days are a lot more.

Is this your third "transfer" in Osorio? Yes.
How long do missionaries stay in one area? As long as the Lord wants.
I would like to remind people of the challenge we heard yesterday to study Preach My Gospel and share what you learn. It was written for missionaries and every member is exactly that. In short, share the Gospel and learn how the Lord wants it done by studying His manual.
That's all folks,
Elder Dickson
