Cake for Breakfast

What’s not to like? Every Brazilian breakfast I have seen serves cake. Some are made with corn, some with tapioca, and some are made with wheat flour. Our favorite so far is a cake flavored with coconut and cajá. They make fillings with sweet and condensed milk. Chocolate cake is popular. Everyone loves sprinkles. Elder Wargha, our financial secretary would choose pineapple cake. We had a little birthday breakfast for Professor Fred this morning. I brought some juice and brownies. Fred teaches our water exercise class three mornings a week at the pool in our building.

Earlier in the week, we made spudnuts as part of breakfast for the missionaries for the P-day 5K that is subtitled, “Beat the President.” The missionaries have to run with their companions which is often an advantage for President Ostergar. This week he came in second

Unknown woman in shock. Elder Ziami, in the BYU shirt is from the Congo. His native language is French!

Sand in the city. There is a sand dune park right in the city. There are places close to the beach where you can slide down the dunes into the ocean.
