It´s been another great week here in Brazil! Everyone is getting ready for carnival this week so things are a bit crazy. For those of you who don´t know about carnival, google it. My area is going to get a bit crazy with it so we wont have a lot to do at night. I´m not really excited for it though just because of all that happens during the week. It´s really sad. But it´s a new experience.
We´ve taught a lot of people this week, some good and some bad. We have a term here in brazil called -snake. This is a term for people you teach (usually women) who pretend to be interested in the church but really are only interested in you. This usually only happens with Americans. And this past week my comp and I taught 2 girls. I don´t think we´ll be returning there again.......
One of the hardest things about the language here is pronouncing the words right. My american accent really hinders my abilitly to have conversations with people. I can communicate but sometimes people don´t quite understand me. Learning the language is a long process.
One thing to remember: It doesn´t hurt to help someone out each day. Everything we have in our lives is from The Lord and all he asks is that we serve eachother. It doesn´t have to be something big. Often small things here and there are better. Blessing other peoples lives really will make you happy.
Stay safe and I love you all!
Love
Elder Shannon
