CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS: HAND WASH ONLY

"When President Tobias came, he brought a washer with him! Yay! The only problem is that we don´t have a hook up in our house to plug in the water and the electricity...so we can´t use it. Today I did laundry (by hand ) and hung everything up to dry only to have it pour 1 hour later. We don´t have a covering for our laundry area, so everything is now soaked again. O the adventures of Brazil!"

"I attached a picture of our study area where we spend 3 hours every morning. Sister Judd and I are learning the Brazil national anthem, so we thought it would be a good idea to put up a flag. This flag is just a paper one, but it does its job. "
