Elder Hillam here!
I made it safely here with all my luggage! The CTM is awesome. Beautiful courtyards with large trees and plants.
What's more awesome was the plane flight to São Paulo. We all were joking before the flight that we could give out a Book of Mormon to someone on the flight. Well, I sat next to the most classic Brazillian lady! We were friends instantly. She taught me all sorts of phrases and words. We even became such good friends that she wanted me to meet her mother all the way at the front of the plane, so we did. I introduced myself to her mother and told her she was beautiful ;)
So her name is Soriah. Her mother is Catholic and her father is Muslim. She said she never fit in. She says the work of the LDS church is beautiful. She lives in Ohio and has missionaries that pass by her house on bikes. She said she would like to go talk to them when she gets back!!! Let's goooo!!! Anyways overnight using my little Portuguese dictionary I wrote that this book makes me happy, told her thanks so much and that she was beautiful and gave it to her when we landed. She was so thankful to get a Book of Mormon. Said she had goosebumps.
Going through customs she came back asking if I could take a selfie with her. I took a picture with her to which ill send another time.
Awesome experience!! So I won the bet.
Oh, and President and Sister Bassett was on the plane too. He is in the general area presidency. They have dinner with Grandma once a year.
Love you all. Thanks so much for helping get here.
Tchão!
