"Among the Mountains of Maranguape"
"That is a BIG serra (mountain)!"

"So, we stayed overnight at the house of the Mission Secretaries, which is on, like, the tenth story of this apartment complex. The next morning we were able to get to Zone Conference very easily. So here's a picture of the center of Fortaleza!"

"So, Elder ---- went to sleep first at our night at the Secretaries` apartment,
and he used these funny (insert word ---- uh mask?) to keep the light out of his eyes. So we made fun of him without hurting his feelings by having a silent dance party around his bunk-bed! Hahaha!"

"A Map!"
"...Of Mission Brazil Fortaleza! The big red swathe in the south is Zona Juazeiro, can you believe that? The rest of the Zonas are centered on Fortaleza in the north. The rest of the yellow area is completely without missionaries! The work really has just started here!"

(***His response)
Ha! That's so cool and accurate. They interviewed Irmao Pecanha, eh? I can just hear that guys' voice right now in my head. He speaks fluent English with just a smidge of an accent, but he also speaks kind of nasally, (that's more common here in Brasil, because they have more nasal-sounds than we do). Very cool guy, too, he hung out a lot with Connor's district, he just liked them so much. My district kind of had the reputation of being loud, so, when he visited our room it was usually to check to see if we were following all the rules and respecting our teachers. But I really liked him, very smart guy. Good to know that the visa problems are disappearing! If its affected our mission, its affected all the Brazilian missions, because we have less American missionaries than usual. Cool cool.
I'm on right now guys. I am uploading my video again! Hope it works!
Love ya everyone!
