9/7


Standard Brazilian – Mormon Time, that’s two times as worse!!!! – Vanessa

We spent the majority of the day in a van going to Afogados, a city in the interior of Pernambuco. We brought with us the rain, or so we thought, but by the time we got there it was just a couple of overcasting clouds. The place where we stayed was a relatively small town, which reminded me a lot of some of the areas where I served on my mission, but the environment was significantly more barren than in Bahia. After arriving and getting settled into the hotel, we met a man named Mario who  was a representative from the organization called Diaconia which we are working  with. What marked me the most about Mario was how passionate he was about Diaconia’s cause. Mario had come himself from humble conditions, but with the help of this organization, he risen to the task and had improved his quality of life.
