Week 62 - Círio Marambia

Hello!!

So this week was good. I don't know if you have ever heard of the Círio, but it happened this week. It is the "largest manifestation of faith in the world" and happens here in Belém. The Catholic church does it. Apparently a long time ago they found some type of image object thing in the amazon river. They say it was sent from God so now every year they take out 4 days in October to put this "saint" on top of a car and thousands and thousands of people follow it in the streets praying to and worshiping it. They walk around all of Belém. It is crazy. Literally thousands of people following this thing around for 4 days. Its funny because then they say it isn't idol worshiping but whatever.

There is also lots of Círio food. Everyone eats the same food on Círio. It is some pretty weird stuff. One thing they eat has venom in it and you have to cook for at least 7 days or you will die!!!

So we did an exchange this week and I went back to the beach. But we can't go on the beach and we didn't even work on that side of the city. But it was still fun. We got a lot of stuff done.

So we pretty much wanted to start over here in the area. We were teaching good people but we had been teaching for a long time and they weren't wanting to progress so we decided to start over. So we spent this week finding lots of new people. 

We are teaching a house full of people that don't have a church! We found them this week and they are super good. They weren't able to go to church because they had to work, but this week they will. We are going to go there tonight and watch the restoration video. 

Thats about it for this week,

Love yall!
