We are really enjoying our four young elders. Elder A. Silva (from Rio de Janeiro; just transferred to a poor area near Curitiba), Elder Ramos (District Leader, from Brazil; just transferred to Guaraitúba to be Zone Leader), Elder Arizola (18 yr. old from Peru), and Elder Pereira (from northeast Brazil). Our two new elders are from the States! It really helps to speak English a little (actually, I rely on that too much). We feed them twice a week, and try to fix what they request (hamburgers and French fries, spaghetti & meatballs, lasagna, pancakes/breakfast, Enchiladas & Tacos, etc.). They are our link to the world, especially when we have missed or misunderstood announcements. They take good care of us too! We're getting pretty attached to them, and are amazed at how hard they work to share the gospel with the sweet people here. [Pictures of Elders Christensen & Cortex later]
