Hey! How are things going? it sure sounds like things are going really for guys? I sure do love ya and am gratiful that the Lord is taking care of you. it reminds me of the scripture in D&C, which i cant remember exactly where it is at, but i know that it is in D&C. and it talks about how that the Lord will take care of the family if we work and do the work of the Lord. i think of you guys everyday and pray for you every night and morning and everytime that i pray. and tell Kaya i am sorry.....but she cant use my computer, because i am really going to need it for school when i get home and i need it to last me awhile. and you are going to believe but i found out what i am going to do when i get home for school. I am going to go into Law, because our country is falling and with the new president candidates it isnt looking for us. so i didnt that i dont want to see my country go down and i want to try everything that i possible can to keep it strong. i hear so much about america this and america that here. and i am sick of hearing people putting down my home country. he really gets irritating, very very irritating. but that is in the future. we are in the present now and things here are going pretty well. we have been trying to stay busy and have been working on few families still. and we have still been having some trouble with one man. he is the husband in one of the families that we are teaching and he is just having a really hard time and we really dont know what to do. we are just trying to be patient until we finally figure out what is his problem and we can help him. but things are going good and we have a few baptisms marked for this month and we are hoping to have more. and you have gotta tell me what all the girls have been saying about me down there. haha jk but i did recieve a letter from a girl that i dont even really know. we hung out twice and then i get this letter from her, it is a little bit fishy. what is it with all these girls wanting missionaries.........we are kinda busy and dont have time for them........i wish that they would disappear until we get home. but they linger around and cause problems for us that we dont need. but i dont mind getting a letter or two from them once in a while. because it is the only girl contact that we get at all. oh and once in while we get a hand shake. haha i have no idea why i am talking about this. make sure that when you send this letter to everyone else that you delete all this part out. because it makes me sound ridiculous. but anyways..........things are going good here. and i am so excited for Matt and Josh. that three out of four of our high school group. and speaking of them......do you know what they are doing without. tons of freaking awesome stuff and am way jealous. i cant even believe it.....they are going to arizona, las vegas, and freaking chigago. what the heck is that? i cannot believe this. bt oh well...life goes on. but yesterday i got a ton of letters from all of them and i was excited to get them. it sounds like justin oberg missed me alot. i was told by a couple of people that he got teary eyed when he would talk about me. i think that you might need to explain to him that we are just friends. and i dont think that it will work out any more and that he needs to start seeing other people. but i was really excited to hear from them. it is always great to get some letters in the mail once in a while. oh and i forgot to tell ya.....i have been feeling a bit crappy lately, i got sick yesterday and havent been feeling very good. all last night i had the fire house spraying out both sides, and my stomach has really been bothering me. my companion had the same thing a few days ago. but i got a little bit lucky, i was sick on P-day not a work day. but things are going good other than the fact i am bit sick, i am feeling better now but last night was rough. and i got a letter from casey today, but the weiner has been sending the letters to Gina Ellis and then she sends them to me, so it takes them forever to get here. i dont know what is up with that, but oh well it is good to hear from him once in a while. and i am trying to think of things to write about, but it is hard, because nothing way exciting has been happening. oh well the other day it was 43 degrees Celsius here and i dont know if you know how hot that is.........i mean it is only about 110 degrees and then with the humidity......lets not talk about it. but i am glad to hear the kaya had a good time at Girls camp and that she is doing good. has she found another Job yet? tell her that she needs to get on that. because it really is a blessing to have a job when you are in high school, but on the other hand it also great to have parents that pay for everything in High School, but i wouldnt know what that is like. ;P but things are going good. you can probably tell by the way that i am talking that things are going pretty well. well......i kinda received my personality back, because the language is going really well and i have no one to thank but the Lord. yesterday at Zone Conference i said the closing prayer and afterwards Sister came up to me and couldnt believe that i was talking so well, she said that she thought that it was a Brazilian. so that is good, because last zone conference her and i talked about the struggles of the language because she has been learning it as well. and my conidence has been getting stronger and stronger and i can understand what people are saying. and it feels so good. and i really have no one to thank but my Father in Heaven. it has been really good. But i got to be getting going. but things are going great and i love it. oh and one last things.......you know what would be nice.......a package. jk i know that you are working on it. but i really want those pictures soon, because everyone has been asking to see pictures of my family and i dont have very many. and you still need to make sure that you show all those pictures to Josh and the clan, because he really wanted to see some pictures of Brazil. but let him know that Salvador will be a lot different. Manaus is like the Armpit of Brazil. atleast that is what all the Brazilians say. but things are going really well. oh hahahahahaha......you will never believe what i ate on Monday night. we had a family home evening night with an investigating family and some members, and they cooked Tatu(Armadillo). i freaking ate armadillo and it was the nastiest thing that i have ever tasted. well it wasnt that bad. but it was really weird, but i really got to go. i still have to write a letter to presidente. but i love you and miss you....and my love to everyone.
