This week has been kind of crazy with transfers, and Carnival... First, we had a family night Monday with a bunch of members, and took a photo because it was Elder Carrari's last time. Then Tuesday we had a little party for Elder Carrari and it was good. Then Wednesday was transfers. The Mission has missionaries travel to their new areas alone now, so when Elder Carrari left, I had to go meet up with our district leader and wait for Elder Felipe to come to Jordão.
He is really interesting. He is from São Paulo, not right in the city but in the part that is a little more country. He really likes Anime. He has this transfer and 2 more before he goes home, so I'm hoping that's going to give him some fire to work hard.
To meet Elder Felipe, I got stuck on a bus for almost two hours. But I made it to him without problems. We were able to work Wednesday and Thursday, but Friday we had an adjusted schedule for Carnival. From Friday until next Tuesday, we will leave our house at 8:30 am and return at 5:30 pm. We do our studies at night, and with our extra time, we will read Jesus the Christ. It is really interesting.
Carnival is pretty wild. We had huge block parties last night that just had music blaring until really late. Everyone was drinking and dancing, but we were in our house before it was really up and going. I'm surprised that we found a Lan house open to be able to get emails and write, because during these weeks, they just party all night and sleep all day.
But we are safe here and trying to avoid these parties as much as possible. Last night the party was pretty much at our front door and, from what members have said, it won't be the last night like that. So we are trying to pound as much work into our day as possible.
Love you guys!
Elder Nielson
