Week 1 - Brazil MTC

So I made it to the CTM this morning at around 8:30. My flights went well. It was a really short flight to Atlanta but it got slightly delayed so it took a little longer. Then we made it to our gate going to Brazil and there was a ton of Brazilian people! i was really surprised. We met up with 5 other elders and about 5 or 6 sisters. 3 of the elders were visa waiters so they've been out a few months. The flight was SO long! it was crazy. They had every movie you can imagine for free but I couldn't watch any of them so that was a little disappointing. We finally made it and this city is insane! There are cars and motorcycles everywhere. We were in pretty bad traffic trying to get to the CTM and the guy driving was crazy. I'm pretty sure we almost killed a few people. Motorcycles were just zooming by in the middle of all the cars like they just didn't care. Everything here is so compact and there is so much going on - noises everywhere, people and dogs all over the place. I feel like I'm in one of the Bourne movies where he is jumping on rooftops. Elder Black is my companion. We met up with him in Atlanta so I already knew him a little bit. All of us who flew in together are on the same hall so that's pretty good. Elder Dunkin and his companion (who hasn't arrived yet) are in our same room. Everyone is trying to speak Portuguese and its kind of getting on my nerves! Once we got here we had from 8:30 to 11:50 to do whatever we wanted - sleep, bath, chill. So we haven't even started doing anything for real. Well that's it. I'm safe, didn't get robbed or anything. Expect a letter sometime next week either Wednesday or Friday or something.

Love, Elder Green
