Monday April 6. Good to get back here to work. I spent some time remodeling my work area I will show pictures sometime. I had some time getting ready to visit projects tomorrow. The day passed quickly for me and then off to the store. Somehow I choose the wrong checkout line more often than not. I had 5 items and 3 customers ahead of me. They all argued over the price the overseer had to come nothing changed and they slowly moves. The people keep their eyes fixed on the screen showing the price then argue so it has to be rescanned to show that it is correct. Then they hunt for their debit card then and only then do they start to bag their groceries. 40 minutes later my turn. I have my credit card in hand smile say good afternoon and immediately start putting the stuff in my backpack. Then scan the card say thank you and go leaving them confused because I didn’t waste time. When things don’t make sense due to cultural differences I just say “it doesn’t translate “. We had FHE. The single sister working in the mission office had her birthday. Pretty good day. Grandma was grumpy this morning thus the picture. Love to all.

Wow, sounds like quite the shopping trips. I like grandma’s picture. I love you both!!
I’m going to steal the term “doesn’t translate”, I think we all have those moments. I love your positive attitude and your love for the Brazilian culture/people 💜
