Samambaia - Week 9

Sorry I don't have a lot of time today, President had an emergency meeting at 9 in the office this morning, so we got back kinda late. But, for lunch, we ate SUBWAY! Which made everything so much better. I had a subway melt, it was...incredible. Just so good. And also a really good milkshake. So yeah, that was my day today :)

My Thanksgiving was kinda simpler...we bought two tapiocas* from this place close to our house. With pineapple and chocolate, which was pretty good. So we pigged out on that, and that was pretty much it :) Kinda sad, but it was really tasty at least. So yeah, Brazilian Thanksgiving. :)

I had a pretty good week though, not too much happened. We're finding a lot of new people and working hard to train the other missionaries on how to do all the important new stuff. 

But yeah, that's pretty much it!

*Tapioca...is like...I'm not sure. They come salty or sweet, so some have chicken or whatever (I got a cheese one the other day), but also with fruits, condensed milk, etc. It's kinda like...a quesadilla...except that it's got a different texture, sorta rubbery almost because it sticks together and it's...I don't know, it's hard to explain. What, Dad didn't know? :) It's good though. I looked it up, and it's a starch extracted from cassava root, whatever that is. So yeah, it's kinda starchy now that I think about it.
