Hey! How are things going? I hope that all is well and that juston is doing better now. tell him that i love him and that i miss him and that i think about him all the time. and i will try to write hime today, because i only recieved one letter thin week and i dont have any one to write, so i will try to write him and kaya as well today. but it sounds like things are still going really crazy at the Prison, i hope that things will start to calm down there, i wonder why it is like that now. but i really also hope that things will start to get better for juston and that he will start to turn around. i know that if steven is there he will help him, i know that steven wont stand for him to be disrespectful to you and i think that things will work out. i really hope that they do too. but things are going pretty well here, still pretty slow and havent had any baptisms in a while. but what can you do, i know things will turn around too anyways. but when, i ave no idea. and i also hope that things are going well for kaya with school. where is she going to school at? where did she finally decide to go? i just realized the other day though that she will start driving next year.... that is a scary thought and almost not believable. but it is going to happen. but things are going pretty well here, i had the opportunity to try Bull Heart a few days ago and it was actually pretty good, i really liked it. it just tasted like meat. and as for florisvaldo, he told us that he doesnt have a desire and doesnt want to be baptized. which is sad, because his wife and daughter want to be baptized but we dont want to have to baptize them and not him. we want to baptize them all together, but i dont think that is going to happen. but i sure hope that eventually some time down the line he will be baptized. i hope that he will maybe finally see the light in his family. but we have also started teaching some pretty cool families, one has as already been to church and they are awesome i really like them. haha they have a six year daughter and she is really funny. when she was younger she had an accident and fell a really long ways and busted up her head. so she has a piece of skull missing and they are waiting to see if it will grow back or if they need to put a plate in. but the funny things is that you would think that that would damage her brain falling a long ways. but actually, she is one of the smartest little 6 year olds that i have ever met and she is really funny and she is a beautiful little girl too. the first time that i met her she said, Porque você nasceu burro? which is really funny, it means why were born like a donkey and after she said that to me she said it to her grandfather...who was drunk at the time. haha she always says little things like that and always laughs really funny. she is the cutest and funniest little girl. and the family is a great family, and they always offer us to eat with them and stuff. and my companion was telling me that if an investigating family offers you food they will be baptized and well we have had that happen with two different families now. so i keep my fingers crossed. because things are starting to look better and that we should have a good transfer this tranfser. things are going good. and last night a new missionary right off the plane moved into the apartment, so i might be able to help him with learning the language of satan, as it is at times. jk but things are going well and the language is still going pretty well, i an learning more and more each day. and things are going really well. but i hope that things will start getting better for you guys there and make sure to give juston a huge hug for me. because i think about him so much i really do. he is on my mind constantly, i really miss the little punk. and give kaya a hug and a kiss on the cheek for me. i love you and i miss you. but you all and i are in the Lords hands and i trust him with all my heart. love you Com Amor, Élder Jory B. Spottsp.s. when is my package going to get here. i am still waiting. oh and i forgot, didnt get transfered and i also promised my companion that since i am killing him this transfer that i(you) would buy him some scriptures, the quad with all the bible, BOM, D&C, and everthing. and that you would put his name on it Eliabe Vieira da Silva. so since promised him, you hope that you can get that done and i will also get his address and then you can send them to his house in São Paulo for me. just buy him smalls like i got at Desert Book. thank you and i love you tons and give steve a hug for me too
