It takes eight quick minutes to get to the Florianópolis Institute building from the bus terminal downtown. This evening we met Rodrigo (same Rodrigo as last night) in front of Comper Supermercados in São José and went together. Classes are held every Tuesday night and Saturday morning; they have a pretty good turn out, filling up most of the classroom downstairs.
Presidente Perrotti is the instructor; I really liked his style of teaching – relating every teaching he could find to our daily lives and helping us see why it’s important to read our scriptures every day.
Today we are studying the Book of Mormon, just after Lehi’s Dream in First Nephi. They made this life size Tree of Life and each student was encouraged to put their name on a ‘fruit’ and hang it on the tree as a reminder throughout the year.
Domini’s Pizza was where we went after class to ‘kill our hunger’, as they say in Portuguese. When Débora sends me the pictures, I’ll post them here, but until then, let me try to remember who was there (going around the table): Muriel, Débora, Flávia, Élida, Rubens, Daisy, Rodrigo, David, Leandro, and me. Again, it was a rodizio pizza place, but paying R$20,00 a plate insured it was quality, and tasty pizza – which it was.
Earlier in the day, Dave and I worked at the SRE office, training the Cossios and making follow-up phone calls.
