| I ate a fruit called pinha. It was good. Looks like jaka but is much better. |
This week has been crazy. My area, Enseada, Guarujá, is a tourist spot. And for Christmas and New Year´s, all of São Paulo came to the beach. All the streets are lined with cars, and everyone´s using bikinis and speedos. It´s a lot harder to talk to strangers about the gospel when they aren´t wearing clothes. Tonight, we have to be in our house by 6, and it´s p-day until 6, so we won´t be able to work like normal. But it´ll be nice to have a little more time to study and organize our area book.
Christmas was surprisingly fun. We spent Christmas Eve with a new member, Juliana, and her family. Here in Brazil, Christmas Eve is a big party, and they open presents at midnight. We had to be in our house again at 9 o'clock like normal. Christmas day is more chill. I think most people spend it sleeping. And then go to the beach. We had the awesome opportunity to skype our families on Christmas! After that, we tried to work as normal e não ficar muito tranque.
Fun fact about Brazilian culture: all the teenage boys love to fly kites. The streets are full of them. It´s kinda funny and kinda cute. Also, it´s not super uncommon to see teenage boys hold their moms´ hand.
Tchau,
Sister Herron
