Elder Breckenridge & Elder Marx
(mom)-How is Brazil doing?
(elder marx)- brasil is an awesome place that is full of life and really kool. The food is amazing. I hear that minas gerais is the best place to eat. Mineiros really know how to cook. Every one is excited for the world cup in 2010.. (I’ll get home before :( )
(mom)-I was wondering what the town is like that you're in.
(elder marx)-CATHOLIC!!!!!!! and really old, like there are stone streets and stuff
(mom)-I did see some old catholic buildings on wikipedia!
(elder marx)-all those buildings are on the same street about two to three blocks apart and were built before the united states was a free nation
(mom)-Tell me about the people.
(elder marx)-nice and friendly usually like to talk but at the same time we'll find people that don’t have time and don’t like us.
(mom)-Would you go back to Brazil in business later on?
(eder marx)-yes, I’ve thought about getting a business degree and an architectural degree and coming back and making a lot more money here and being also able to help out the church, but like every where else I travel outside the U.S. I’m scared of living in a country without due-process
(mom)-How's the lesson teaching going?
(elder marx)- like they were going awesome, but president parrella has put into place a new way he wants the missionaries teaching the lessons and it includes us telling the people about the spirit in the lessons and then showing them when they are feeling the spirit. And he did away with inviting them to pray cause they will receive an answer in the lesson and not need to pray. It’s an awesome way of teaching and I’m really excited to get started
(mom)-What is your favorite lesson to teach or maybe I should say favorite principle to teach.
(elder marx)- I don’t have a favorite thing to teach. We usually try to just follow the spirit and help the investigators feel the things are true
(mom)-Just wondering about some of your day-to-day experiences.
Like what your typical days are like, and how the houses and families are.
(elder marx)-well the houses are nothing like America. They’re small and made out of brick with at least 5 or more in the house. The city I’m in now has the most amount of money for a city that I’ve ever passed through... hope that made sense. So the houses are a little bit bigger than normal ... we did walk into a house on monday that was the biggest and most open house I’ve ever walked into, I would compare it to the Goodyear house, with wood floors and all wood tables and chairs and cupboards the dad owned a wood shop where they made all wood things... the member who took us there is visiting from his studies in Italy and its his parents house. He was baptized in Italy like 6 months ago. So that’s kool. He also offered to take us golfing SWEEEET!!!
any more questions?
Conference was so good and I loved it. President won a lot of respect points this time. My interview was excellent. It was in english. (hehe President Parrella sounds like Elder Goody(of the seventy) speaking in conference hehe) it's kool.
It's been a good week hope to see you next time.
love,
