It seems like the entire country here is revolving around the world cup. The games are on all the televisions and all of our conversations with members and investigators revolve around the games that were played that week. It is insane. I have never seen an event have such a great impact on society. Not even the political depates match up to this lol. But yes everyone goes crazy during the games that Brasil plays. They like to through firecrackers and shoot up fireworks to celebrate goals and victories. When Brasil won this week everyone went running around in the streets like maniacs screaming, cheering, and dancing! Some people get in their cars decked out with Brasilian flags and go around the neighborhood or downtown to honk their horns with the rest of the city. It is awesome! And we don´t have restrictions. Not like we would need one though, I can´t imagine why that would be necessary. Weird that other missions aren´t liberating the missionaries to leave during the games.
Well, today is transfer day. My companion left yesterday to Marília. My companion gets here today. His name is Elder Simon. He is from Aracaju Sergipe in the northeatern part of Brasil. From what I have seen of the guy, he is spiritual and a hard worker. That makes me happy.
Besides that nothing much is new. Lots of splits and traveling resolving problems here in there in the zone´s respective areas.
We didn´t bring our rain jackets to district meeting and had to improvise. And the four of us saying goodbye to Elder Rocha. And the zone taking a picture to support Brazil´s soccer team lol.
