Day number two! Sunday! I have to admit I was pretty curious as to how they would handle a Sunday on a single adults camp out. It turned out to be pretty much how I expected. Like usual there were three hours, one for Sunday School, Priesthood/Relief Society, and one for Sacrament. I definitely did not envy the teacher who had to teach a Sunday School of about 400 people all crammed into one big room (the one used for the dances). Let's just say that the bad audio and the heat got the better of a lot of people there. I have to say that the sacrament meeting at the camp out was the largest one I've ever attended. I was one of the 18 men who passed the sacrament to the huge crowd, for a second there I felt like one of Christ's disciples who passed the bread and fish out to the crowd of 2,000 that came to hear him teach!
After lunch, activities were limited to the screening of a couple of church films. The majority of the people just chilled and socialized, while a big chunk went back to their rooms to sleep. That's one thing that you can't separate a Brazilian from: his Sunday afternoon nap. It must be a universal thing, probably due to the heavy lunches of bean and rice that everyone eats on Sunday. I have to admit the most cruel part of my mission in Salvador, Brazil a year ago was just that, having to leave the member's houses to go work after a delicious and heavy meal.
