Flooding in Brazil!

"FLOOD. BIG FLOOD.

LOTS IF WATER.
LOTS.
so we got trapped in a members house on wednesday night. the water was up to our kness, it was strange to look out the window to see a newborn river.... but determined to get home on time, we "legged it!"
our clothes got wrecked :´(, and as soon as we got home, the office called us telling us not to enter into the water... OOPS. but what an adventure! here where im serving got hit pretty bad, seeing that is below sea level. the flood messed up the sewage system soooo the city smells just terriffic.....
the water is been out for a while now(not even a flood can resist the heat of rio!)
but ive heard that in my first area, Nilópolis, is now called Atlantis. this all reminds me of the flood wayyy back in naperville. DEJA VU.
in other news, IM BEING TRANSFERRED :(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((
NÃO QUERO SAIR DAQUI!!!
worst news ever. I love it here in Vila São Luis!! its been an incredible experience serving here for the past 7 months. the worst part is that we recieved a washing machine TODAY. i havent even used it yet. for 7 months ive been washed my clothes by hand... what a trial of faith!! haha im gonna miss this place a ton, the memories and friends ive gained here are eternal. Saint Louisville will always stick with me!!
In going off to Maduriera! i´ll be with my old companion Élder Stinnett! we were only comps for 2 weeks, so now we´ll be making up for the shortened time? im excted to working with him again(even though i´ll be celebrating xmas with a bunch of people i dont know...), the work continues!!"
