Hola,
i wanna start off by saying how great it was to talk to you guys yesterday. i didnt realize what was happening till i hung up and i wanted to call back soooo bad. so bad. but it was real good. im so glad to hear that everything at home is going good. so glad. ok so i have alot to say today and i dont want to forget anything so ill start now..

So mom when you send the card put pictures of jesus or draw crosses on it so the mail workers wont steal it. no joke. and when i recieve the card i will withdraw money to give to the guy that allowed me to call yesterday. so yeah.
Okay so back to the letter:
Im going to send photos of my house and baptisms today in a different letter and ill send photos of the town next week..
ok so everything here is good, we had 2 baptisms yesterday and we were supposed to have 4 but 1 of our investigators was ´´sick´´ and the other is not ready. but all is well. there is always next week to make covenants with the Lord. So yeah its all good here. i dont really know what to say. everyone send questions and ill answer them all for next week. dad they call me..mais grande.. which translates to more big. haha. what else.............. so it rained like crazy last night and my camera was in my backpack and i took it out and took pics but it was all foggy, i was super mad. but i fixed it. its as good as new. what else... i am teaching alot more now. its still a little diffucult and i still get laughed at every once and a while but its so much better. and talking in english yesterday was so hard. i dont know if you could tell............. yesterday i gave a talk in church and i found out like 4 hours before. now in english thats no problem, just open the scriptures read and talk about it. in portuguese however.... a little bit harder haha. i prepared somewhat and it turned out decent. only one person laughed!!! haha. being a missionary is so cool. haha
Ok so david that is soooo awesome that you turned your papers in, and i heard about braden and matt. thats cool. i know nothing about being a missionary yet but from judging by these too weeks, it may have its ups and downs, but its great. it reminds me of the conference talk by.......... dont remember but its something like... ´´when your not living the ways of the Lord nothing can be permantly right. but when you are living the ways of the Lord nothing can be permanantly wrong´´ i dont know if thats how it goes but i know that its true. i gave my talk on charity and i learned alot. we all know the scripture that when you serve your fellow being you serve God but its becoming more apparent here because i can ask the Lord for blessings that i need for other people. and he gives me them. because its for other people, and by helping other people its bringing his work and glory to success and therefore he grants the blessings. okay i dont know if that made sense. but basically just serve other people before yourself and you will be blessed. okay. i love you all and i miss you dearly. devin thanks for the portuguese tips. haha. i can pretty much say anything i need to i just cant understand. thats the problem.they talk so fast. so fast.
okay i gotta go. until next monday
LOVE
