So this last week has been full of crazy stuff. So first off my zone leaders are leaving tomorrow and last Monday was their last P-day. We spent it in Búzios. After walking around Búzios and stuff most of the day we wanted dinner. So we went looking at all the restaurants. All of them were super expensive. But we went by this one and we talked to the manager and asked him the prices. He said 54 reals per kilo. We immediately turned it down and started to leave. He then offered us a sweet deal. 25 reals for all you can eat minus the sushi bar. We said we´d think about it and if we decided to we´d come back. He said ok, and so we went and checked one other place. Terrible prices. So we went back. Yeah turns out that place was super super nice. Definitely like a 3 star establishment. We had really really good steak grilled up right in front of us. And shrimp penne and Caesar salad, and this ham stuff wrapped in bacon. Wow! it was so so so good! Especially the steak. Never had a steak that good. Anyways, was my comp´s last week as well this last week. He´s so checked out. It´s really sad. Um other than that the Ward in Cabo Frio had a party last Friday. That was pretty cool. Turns out Brasil has this like three month holiday. It´s basically a harvest thing. But you get 3 months to have a party. Because usually, as I have been informed, everyone usually has one party and it happens at some point during the three months. But anyways, transfers are happening tomorrow. Elder Richins was looking up on the mission website, and apparently most of the transfers are up and I´m getting transferred. Some place called Trindade and my new comp´s name is Elder Pinheiro. Elder Richins doesn´t know much about him, so we´ll be starting off fresh. Don´t know what is in store for me this next week but hopefully lots of work and learning a lot. It´s going to be awesome. Love you all. Elder Bender
