Dear Family and Friends:
Meu companion had a camera I used! But, these computers are horribly
bad, so I don’t know if I’ll be able to send pictures. I’ll try on my
companion’s computers when we finish. Also, remember how I asked for a new
camera because the other was sent back to São Paulo? Well, the Elder in Santa
Maria already asked for them to return it, and it’s coming back now. Ha-ha so
he’ll grab it, and I’ll have 2 cameras. Mom: I sent Jake a new camera
before Christmas, but he was transferred before he got it. Then it was taxed and the missionaries in
Santa Maria didn’t have the money to pay for it. So it was sent back to Sao Paulo. So, we thought it was on its way home, so we
sent him another one this week.
Ha-ha. Oh well.
I took pictures of everyone I think, I’ll try and send them after. If
you want to feel free to send them packages, but word of my two cameras spread
pretty fast, and that all of my comps so far have gotten packages. So everyone
thinks I’m an incredibly rich American... but I’m controlling it. And everyone
says that I’m the most humble American they’ve met, members and other
missionaries. So it’s not really a problem. Mom: We asked if he wanted us to
keep sending his companions packages.
Ha-ha, it sounds like your exercise program is similar to my mission
in that way. It’s like a field of roses. Before you enter, you just see a
beautiful field of roses. Then you get there and walk through and its full of
thorns and pain, then after when you look back you just see a field of roses
again. :) Mom: I was telling Jake we were working with a
trainer, which we love when the hour is over.
HAHA they moved our long board shop into the living room!!!!
remember the first time you got mad about the drive way? haha thats way
cool.
THANK YOU FOR THE FILMS!!! AND ESPECIALLY IN PORTUGUESE.
Fill the rest of the box with M&M’s. we have an idea we want to
do with the ward with M&M’s, and they don’t have them aqui. Mom:
Jake asked for any church movies.
We found some at the distribution center and was able to get them all
in Portuguese.
So, my comp is Brazilian. 19 years old. Born in the church. The
other two are also Brazilian. Sorry my journal pages are really short this
week. We ended every day tired and I had a lot to do every night. I’ll be
better this week and talk about each elder individually. my comp speaks English
very well, and another one of the elders, too. My comp already went to Salt Lake
one time to watch conference, and his Brazilian girlfriend is living in Utah
right now for the next few months. Their names are Elder Martins (my comp), Elder Alvarenga, and Elder Pessoa da Silva.
I don’t know what’s up with my camera again, or maybe its just my
memory card, but its not working with the journal pages. I’ll try and have them
for next week.
I love you mom!!! Thanks for
everything!! :) I love you guys! I hope
you guys are all happy!!
