Well I´ve passed my first week in the new area. Here in Ribeirão das Neves it is a little bit hotter than my last area, but not too bad. This area is a really good area and I´m excited to get going and work here.
My new companion is Elder Sabino. He has about three months on the mission now and is the youngest companion I´ve had until now. He is the only companion that I´ve had that is younger than me, which is a little different as all my other companions were about one year older than me. He is excited to work and we are getting along fine. He is Brazilian, so that´s pretty normal for me. I think I´ll finish the mission without having an American companion in the field.
We live with two other elders; Elder Matamala, District leader, and Elder Erazo. They are both from Chile and are the only two elders from Chile in the mission. Elder Erazo is new on the mission. They both speak Portuguese very well, but because Spanish and Portuguese are similar they sometimes will say Spanish words. I can understand and it is just a little funny sounding.
I´m learning the area right now and from what I can tell is isn´t super big. We share the same area with the other elders. It can be a little funny when we knock on a door and the people say that they talked with the missionaries two weeks ago. We have to ask a few question to know if it was the other companionship or Jehovah witnesses.
