"Ups and downs for Elder Hansen! First off is the language, my companion and i ALWAYS speak Portuguese!! i mean always, we study, teach, converse, joke, write in my journal and even think in portuguese! Its honestly awkward right now typing in english haha. its a blessing and a curse, im picking up the language really quick! But when im stressed, or have an important question, or anything, we never use our native tongue. Ive got a pretty hard working trainer, he expects a lot outta me and we work with everything we have every day!
Our eating schedule is really weird, we have a tight budget, so we only eat lunch, no breakfast or dinner!! we go to all you can eats or members houses to stock up for the day. im either starving or stuffed!! Nilópolis is really cool, its got everything from nice neighborhoods to some really ´interesting´ areas! our area is huge, apparently we have around 200,000 people in our area!! our daily routine is like this: wake up, study, eat, work, sleep. thats it! its difiuclt at times, but such a blessing when youre serving others all the time!
The Manaus temple here in Brasil was dedicated this week, we got to watch the dedicatory sessions here in Rio! it was really spiritual, my testimony was strengthened and i recieved strength to continue the work!! i got couple letters this week too, that helped a lot! my new address is
