Greetings from beautiful São Paulo, Brazil!
In the last couple of days, we have taken some walks around the neighborhood where we live to acquaint ourselves with the small businesses (barbershops, hardware stores, etc) and places to eat that abound in this large city. Today we ventured out with another missionary couple to a store that sells sewing supplies, where Carlie felt right at home, and then on to a neighborhood cafe that sells breads, cheeses, pizza, sandwiches, etc. for lunch. The homes in our neighborhood are very nice, and adorned with beautiful plants and trees, and very high walls to keep intruders from getting too close.
In my last post I said that I would send some photos of the inside of our cozy apartment. This first picture is of our living room and dining room combined. The desk is up against one wall, and the couch on the other wall.
The second picture is of our "big room," the bedroom, where as you can see the double bed takes up the greatest portion of the living space. However, with the large fan on the desk against the left wall, we sleep quite comfortably throughout the night.
These next two pictures are of our kitchen. What you see is all you get. The door on the left is our outside apartment door.

This is so great. Thanks so much for sharing this with everyone. I am in tears right now. You guys are so wonderful & very missed I know. I CANNOT WAIT for this stage of my life with Brett. It is so much fun to watch you guys doing this. You must be so in love right now! God bless...
I mean no disrespect to Megan, but I laughed when she said "you must be so in love right now." I love that she said that and hope that is the case. I guess I can safely say that either you're "so in love" or you're still married. Either way, it will only get better from here on out:) I also love looking at the pics to get an idea of life down there. I have gained a greater appreciation for the life change you're both experiencing after having been in Mexico last week! Keep the posts coming. We love you both!!! P.S., did mom get the package yet?
Thanks for the photos. Now I know what I have to look forward to :) It looks very much like the senior missionary apartments here in Tokyo, even the furniture is similar. Is your couch hard as stone like the ones here?
