Working The Ipiranga Zone

"Right now I am with a good friend of mine, Elder Barney, who is in my zone. We are just getting finished with a split, we call it division down here, and we are going to meet our companions and go have some P-day fun. Elder Barney works in Vila Prudente, and having worked there with him, I have officially worked in all the areas in this zone from the time of being a secretary to now, as a zone leader. The areas are: Belem, Mooca, Sao Joao Climaco, Monumento, and the three vilas, Vila Industrial, Vila Prudente and my current home, Vila Mariana. I am probably the first one to ever do that. Not to brag, but I sure am cool."

Vila Mariana is a borough of the city of São Paulo, Brazil. Placed in the south of Sé, east of Pinheiros and west of Ipiranga, it's a dynamic area of the city. It comprises the districts of Vila Mariana, Moema and Saúde. Like Pinheiros, it's a wealthy area and it comprises some of the most famous symbols of São Paulo, like the Ibirapuera Park, the Obelisk and Mausoleum of the heroes from the Constitutional Revolution in 1932 and the "Monumento às Bandeiras". This bourough also has in its limits the headquarters of the Federal University of São Paulo and its medicine school. This borough is also the place where Athina Onassis lived, when she married the Brazilian rider Álvaro Affonso de Miranda Neto (the "Doda").
