Letter #53

Super late, super rushed day, but busy is always better
Because I need to be quick, I'll just give the old Rio Rundown

My friend Gavin Carns ( reid.carns@myldsmail.net) decided to go and pop another one of his lungs because he's so tall white and skinny. As a favor to me, everyone send him a snarky, but maybe helpful, comment telling him what a lame lung popper he is and also how he can get fat.

The city in which I currently reside is home to one of the largest gas refinaries in the country, the main refinary for PetroBras. And part of it exploded. From what I've heard, it wasn't tooo disastrous, but big enough that I heard it from our house at 2 in the morning (meaning it was loud enough to wake me up, which ain't easy) and it's the talk of the town, lots of service to be rendered.

We were able to start teaching Gustavo, pretty chill young thugger that we met on the street. Despite all of the blaring strerotypes that would have made us normally cross the street, he has accepted to be baptized on the 8th. It's amazing to me how the gospel can change even the thuggiest of thuggers #PapaJ #StraightOutOfCompton

Back to the streets, we got commitments to get, the grind continues.

Love,

Elder JB
