 Monday, February 3, 2025; Iranduba Branch, Iranduba, Amazonas, Brazil: Bom dia, boa tarde ou boa noite a todos. Minha semana foi boa.... mas passou muita rápida.  This past week has been busy with lessons and walking.  One day our Branch President took us to a restaurant for lunch. The restaurant was close to the River. It was the first time my comp got to see the river Rio Solimões. To one side of the restaurant was the river, and the other side had a big green grass field with cows grazing. Someone told us that sometimes the river comes up over that field.   Afterwards we drove up a road that runs a long ways along the river. It was super cool to do that, being that last time I was there, we walked part of it. But it's super long so we didn't get far. But this time, by car we got to see a lot more of the river. We also passed several hundred banana plants planted next to the river.  When I started my mission I did not like fish. Unless it was canned tuna...
