Experience Brazil in Germany

Currently I live in Washington DC and it's the mixing pot of the world. We have a bit of everything here. I felt the same way in Freiburg, Germany. We would talk to more non-natives than we would true Germans. Most of these people had moved here years ago and could speak German pretty well but others knew better English. It is part of the reason we had so many translations of the Book of Mormon, we never knew when we would need one in Spanish, French, Greek, etc.


One of the less active sister in our ward was from Brazil. She knew pretty good German and a bit of English. She was a member of the Church but her husband was not and he was not interested at all. We were not allowed to come over if he was there it was that bad. However she wanted her daughter to know the gospel and be familiar with Jesus Christ so we were invited over often.


Each time we came she would feed us this great meal very native to Brazil. We learned to cook some really good things there. One of us would read stories with the daughter and the other would help with the meal. We would then teach a lesson after the meal and help clean up. It was great experience and we got to experience some of Brazil each time we came over.


Her husband started taking the lessons and from what I heard last they are both active members of the church today.
