So last
P-day was our last with Elder Dos Santos which was a bit of a bummer but we did
some cool stuff to make up for the short time. First off for lunch we went to
Bovinu´s (pronounced how it looks with a Brasilian accent) which is a
Churrascuria (Brasilian Steak House) (shoo-ha-skoo-ree-uh) in Centro (like down
town) Santa Maria. And oh my goodness! It was churrasco heaven! The way that it
works at a churrascuria is that there’s a buffet line of normal food, can’t
forget the beans and rice, and then the servers come around with all different
sorts of meat on swords that they serve to you. And since we were one of the
first ones there in the restaurant it was non-stop meat- too good! And then
after a lunch of "exceeding joy!" (a joke that we have where we say
exceeding joy and spaz out like we are falling to the ground with exceeding joy
as they say in the scriptures)

| Yummm- churrasco |
We did a little secret Santa tie exchange and
everyone drew the name of another elder and we bought ties for one another as a
commemoration of our awesome household brothership, and because ties are very
useful.

And this
week we had some crazy weather! It’s been cold and super rainy as of late. And
now the weather is deciding to switch between raining really hard then the sun
coming out and getting really hot, crazy. A side note Elder Usieda was sick all
Thursday and so we stayed in our house, and so I had a lovely study the
scriptures all day session saving me from a good dousing of rain then hot sun
back to rain again (tender mercies sort of). And the weather was no different
on Friday for the 4th of July. But rain or shine that didn’t stop the Brasilian
people from shooting off a bunch of fireworks and honking horns and yelling in
the streets when Brasil beat Colombia in the world cup. So I celebrated a
little bit on the inside too for ´Merica! And in honor of our family cookout I
ate a xis for lunch (shees, a Brasilian burger). And the weather that night was
doing some crazy lightning so I even got some of nature’s fireworks.
Love you
all and I hope you enjoy the pictures and another of week of summer!
