It gets very cold then as there is no heat in any house, building, store, church or car. When it is 40 degrees outside, it is 40 degrees inside, and we bundle up. Campo Grande is built for the heat, not the cold. We are in a rich agricultural region near the center of South America. 2 million people in our state of Mato Grosso do Sul, and 10 million cattle.
Soybeans are the principle cash crop.
We are members at First Baptist Church of Campo Grande. It is a fast growing church. In 1991 it had 500 members, and today it has 2200. We have 4 worship services on Sunday with styles varying from traditional to very contemporary. We also have a service each day of the week as well.
