Santa Rita 2

Here is part of Christopher's email from last week:

So, the first transfer finished up yesterday! Kind of crazy to think that it is already over. I still feel like yesterday was the first day. So, we are getting a new zone leader - Elder Munhos. He is a super cool guy. Also, big news - I´m getting a new companion. Elder Santana is being transferred to Santana, haha, and the Elder leaving there, Elder Shannon, is going to be my new companion. He´s from Idaho and is a cool guy, so I´m excited to serve with him.
Also, Presidente Campos and Sister Campos are heading back to their home in Recife at the end of the month and our new mission President, President Cici, and his wife will begin being our new mission leaders. So yeah! A lot of things have been happening and are going to happen here soon.

So! Things are going well with the work. We have 3 baptisms, I believe, for Saturday, which is good. Tiago, Marcini, and Valginae are our investigators we have for Saturday, so that is awesome. We have another baptism for the 30 too, so hopefully that goes well.
So, more about my area! I´m serving in the Santa Rita 2 area. The area, compared to the other areas in our zone, is really big. We can only walk, so we don´t cover a ton of the area, but when we need to go somewhere far away we take a bus or a member drives us. And let me tell you, drivers in Brazil are CRAZY! I feel like it is race weekend everyday here. You´ve got to watch out or else you are going to get hit. There are a lot of dirt roads in our area, but mainly concrete, so its different but good. The people are super awesome and accepting of the gospel - generally whenever we extend a baptismal invite they agree to prepare to be baptized which is awesome - they are humble, but sweet people.
