Familia,

The MTC is awesome. I love learning about the gospel and Portuguese. I miss you guys but there is so much to do that I never have time to sit and think about how much I miss you. Until now! Well I love you all and please pray that I will have the spirit with me. Anyway my companion is awesome, my roommates are awesome, the MTC is awesome, the food is awesome and the gospel is awesome. Me and my roommates decided to help us learn Portuguese faster by at lunch only speaking Portuguese, oh and at dinner and breakfast. I have wonderful teachers that care so much about us. And its just so good to be here. No word on the visas yet, but we are the 3rd group of Brazilians (there are 34 missionaries waiting for visas) and it usually takes 2-3 weeks. Since its carnival there, the people who sign the visas are way behind. Ina couple of days I will send pictures but I am too busy to do it right now. But I love you all and I'm so excited to serve the Lord. Pray for me that I will be able to always have a desire to serve. You are in my prayers. I love you all so much! And may you please not worry about me. I don't want you guys too. I'm sure you're not, I just thought I'd say. Well I gotta go and get my laundry.

Love, Elder Fletcher
