Allright, Curitiba is one of the dopest cities on the planet. It´s super green everywhere and it is called the city of the 4 seasons because everyday there are 4 seasons that occur. For example, I´ve only been here 1 day and it was sunny when we got here, clouded up and rained, and then was fall time through the night and a tiny bit chilly in the morning. Crazy. President Araujo is one of the coolest dudes I´ve ever met. He is a lot smaller than I expected but he can speak English pretty well. We drove out to Campinas Airport and flew only like an hour to Curitiba where we met the AP to the Pres and President Araujo. We took a van to the President's house and had lunch there. His house is in a huge sky scraper and is very nice. Then we went to this chapel and had some missionary training meeting. We met our comps there and my comp is named Elder Lee. He is this burley, red haired dude with like a sculpted face. He wrestled and took state in Arizona where he is from. Then we took a bus for like 2 and a half hours to the booneys where my first area is called Rio Bonito, or beautiful river. There is no river here though. Our apartment is pretty crazy. We live with two other missionaries. Then last night before I even unpacked one thing, we went to a dinner appointment to this family that we had to walk to like 30 minutes away. It was good and the family are members and they were cool.
It´s been a shell shocker going from the CTM to the field. I am still currently getting used to it. The language is the biggest barrier, but I think I´ll learn quick. Seriously, this is crazy and a little scary. The last few days at the CTM were fun and we enjoyed it immensely. There is a lot of structure that I´m not used to. That´s what I´m gonna have to get used to the most. In due time I think I will adjust.
You sound extremely busy Ma. You need to take a chill pill. Tell me how Piper and Roxy doggy are doing. I miss you guys and I love you.
