Sao Borja, Brazil

São Borja is a city in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul. São Borja is the oldest municipality in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul and was founded in 1682 by the Jesuits as the first of the Seven Points of the Missions, and named São Francisco de Borja, in honor of Saint Francis Borgia. It is situated on the Western Frontier of Rio Grande do Sul on the border with Argentina which is defined by the Uruguai river.
São Borja is known as the Land of the Presidents as it is the birthplace of two Brazilian Presidents: Getúlio Vargas (1883–1954) and João Goulart (1918–1976).
The city is linked to the argentinian city of Santo Tomé through the Integration Bridge.

Here in Grand Rapids

Well yeah it is hard because it is cold here and door knocking sucks!!!!!!! Well there really isnt much here because since it is winter time everything is covered in snow. I am in Grand Rapids which is the most populated city beside Detroit. SO that is about all that there is to talk about Michigan, i will try and take some pictures so you can see it for yourself.
Well my traineers are totally stoked! I am too! Michigan is not an easy mission and since i have been here, we have gotten 2 investigators with baptismal dates. 1. is a 24 year old mom, her daughter was trying to play with me the whole lesson but we commited her to baptism. so that is totally awesome. 2. is a 14 year old boy and we just committed him to baptism. It is really cool and i cant way to see the baptisms. My trainers are awesome too.
