It's Tilapia, it was really good but, I was a little weird-ed out
at first because they eat it with the scales on but it was good!

Hey mumsy,
Well just to
answer all the questions. Yeah but our time change happened a couple weeks ago,
now we should be three hours apart I think. Well I must say I sure am excited
to be able to participate in Loretta’s Sunday school lessons, and Dave’s too.
They are some great teachers. I have gotten pretty tired of the gospel
principles manual. Ha-ha but I really like the story about her grandson. I
remember them talking about him. He went to Argentina right? Well I know I
would be hating my life if I hadn’t gone on the mission. I sure had some things
to give up and at times satan tries to tell me I would be better off if I hadn’t
gone. But my life has changed more than I thought possible. I feel like my eyes
have opened and now I understand how many opportunities we have in our lives.
If I had stayed home, I don’t think I would have ever left West Jordan. Ha-ha
jk. But I feel like there were times before the mission when I was working
really hard, but now I have learned how to work. I am just excited to work hard
to achieve much higher goals now. Also, I have learned so much about our Savior
now. It’s just so good to feel so close to Him. The testimony that I have now
is so much more solid. I see so many things in the world and things that people
do but thanks to the things I have learned and felt temptations aren’t nearly
as tempting and I feel like our true strength comes from learning more about
the Savior. Our spirits our able to become better masters over our bodies. And I
know that there will be many moments in the future when I will feel blessed for
what I have learned here or will use some bit of knowledge to help me later on.
Yeah, the mission sucks a lot. I feel like nobody says that, but it needs to be
difficult and awful at times so we can learn more. But I have to pinch myself
to remember that I am in Brasil, and I have such cool opportunities, and I have
friends in the other part of the world not to mention the other friends that I
have made that will be going back to the states.
So yeah, that’s
that.
Well I really miss some good ol' Mexican ish
food like Cafe Rio and all the other goodies we got back in the states. I am
way excited to get the package, and to get the workouts rolling strong! Ha-ha it’s
been fun to be with dedicated missionaries in the house. I am really happy with
what we have going here. Well that’s cool that you saw Corb, and he is dating,
aww yeahhhh ha-ha I am surprised Marcus isn’t married yet..... Ha-ha.
Well my comp is
great. this transfer has been super stressful because with all this traveling
we had no time to put up some good numbers but we planned out a good week, and
just got some news that there will be another mission tour this Wednesday and
yes, that means that we will lose two days of work so we can go to Campinas.
But we have some activities planned here in the branch for Saturday and I am
excited for the turnout to see how it goes. We had a leadership counsel with
the branch I feel like it was really good to finally get us back on the same
page. It has been a long time since we have had any activity because of Carnaval
and the temple nights, but they recognized that the attendance has also fallen
a bit because they neglected the activities. So I am happy for what we have
planned this week and just can’t wait to work hard.
Conference will be great, but I have a feeling
that I won’t be able to watch it in English this time. Who knows? I think I
will stay another transfer, I hope so also because I want to make up for what wasn’t
done with all this traveling.
Our apartment still needs to be painted, and yes I sleep on the top bunk
so I put a fan on a chair and aim it up so it can reach but it’s a pretty weak
fan so I have to wait until my body cools down quite a bit before I am able to
sleep. Yeah it’s hot here which is good, but still in need of a boat and a wake
board. Ha-ha.
Wow, he really got
hit by the pneumonia, I sure hope he gets better soon. I sure miss all of you
mom, this week has been pretty normal to say the least, another trip to Campinas
and running around like a chicken to teach. Hah I love you so much and hope
your week is amazing. I will send some pictures now. I love you.
