Oi from Salvador!

Hey everybody! It's Justin this time, hopefully that doesn't disappoint anyone. So, things are going really well so far. We each have had more readers sign up with us in the past days and so I believe each of us has at least 12 or 13 readers. I think Sarah is winning because she has 15, I think. Today is also the last day of our weekend since we have Mondays and Tuesdays off. Even though we don't do a whole lot of physical hard work and stuff, reading with people who don't speak English very well, and being with people at least 10 hours a day is very draining and these couple days of rest were much needed. Although I suppose these coming 5 days will be our first full work week, I'm sure we'll be just fine. Being with the people has been really cool too. They are all super friendly and within less than an hour of knowing some of them it seems you can be tight with them real quick. They also love to just hang out at the Church with us after or before sessions until we basically have to tell them to leave because we have work to do haha so it's really cool. Yesterday we went to some big mall (which is called 'Salvador Shopping) and that was nice. Today one of Kresten's readers, Cesar, took us to downtown and the market place area by bus and it was awesome! You go up this massive elevator on the side of a cliff and it takes you up top where he showed us around. People are always running up to you trying to get you to buy things and since we don't speak Portuguese, it's awkward, but whatever. Anyways, it's really windy here today and although we tried to go swimming the sign said 'perigo' or 'danger' and the waves were stinkin huge so that didn't work out so well. I'm kind of tired so I think we're going to lesson plan and play UNO than bedtime! PS- our favorite thing to say- not to Brazilians- is Eu me mijei. you should figure out what it means.
