We got to talk to Riley for Christmas!
Here's what we learned:
He's happy. See his face?
He eats with the members everyday for lunch. Mostly rice and beans.
He is known in certain circles as the guy "who can't eat all of his dessert."
(He says some of it is nasty!)
He has never walked so far for so long in his life.
They live 30 minutes away from their area.
They aren't worried about being robbed in their area!
He and his companion live in a nice apartment--just the two of them.
They've found three cockroaches and incinerated them.
They are implementing a new 12-week training course for new missionaries. So far so good.
He actually speaks a foreign language that other people understand! (We assume it's Portuguese!)
The days seem to fly by. The hard work makes him sleep well at night.
The Brazilians are so friendly and invite them in to talk all the time--
even when they are NOT interested in the gospel.
He is happy to be a missionary in Brazil!
