Palavra de Sabedoria

I hate the Palavra de Sabedoria! The word of wisdom for those of you that are a little slow and arent on my level yet! haha! I love it actually but we have so many baptisms held up because of it haha! We had 7 investigators in church this week which was awesome! They all have dates to be baptised so hopefully we can kick the word of wisdom problems and get them dunked! We taugh a billion lessons this week! I think it was right around 43! Im super tired haha!

If any of you ever visit brasil dont be alarmed when you see the F word everywhere! Its a name here haha! There are four buisnesses in this town with that name haha! Fun fact right?!

Floods are on the way! We have a river here and it floods every year and everyone said that they have to leave their houses because the water just fills everything up! People are prepping the roads to be rivers haha! My companions is very put out because of it, but I am flippin pumped! The river has already risen 12 feet! 

Just so you all know its really really cold here now haha! It was like a light swith from dying of heat to wanted to curl up in a ball and freeze to death! 

Im super excited with all of our investigators and really hope I get to see them all be baptized! But knowing my luck they will probably be baptized the week after I am transfered!

Just wanna let yall know that Letters are fantastic! I love getting letters even though they are all from my sister Cassie haha! If you really love me packages are great too haha! JUST SO YALL KNOW HAH hint hint wink wink Its going to be my birthday in 22 days so thats just about the right amount of time if you send now hah! peace brotheren! 

Words from Brazil and what not

Hey yall just wanted to let ya know that Im still alive haha! If yall have a few extra pounds you wanna get rid of come on down to Brasil! I look fantastic but I feel really weak haha! 

Well this week we did a lot of work! We have 10 dates marked for baptism and most of them seem pretty firm! We should be having quite a few baptisms here in a couple weeks so that should be fun. 

Portuguese is coming along really well. I can understand 90 percent of what everyone is saying and its such a relief to be able to talk to people. I can talk about hunting and football perfectly but I still need a little work on some gospel topics. The law of chastity is fun to teach in a different language haha! We pass by a lot of houses of prostitutes in the streets and one of the ladies likes me so thats fun.. she winks at me a lot and so I told my companion lets go teach her the law of chastity! He didnt believe I would do it.... Proved him wrong haha! I was headed her way with my pamplet about castidade and my companion about had a heart attack and pulled me back haha! I didnt get to teach the nice prostitute because of my companions lack of faith haha! Maybe next time!

We painted a house for service and that was pretty fun! We eat lunch at the members house that we painted a lot. I am officially the maker of juice there so thats great! I dont know if anyone has ever made a better orange juice than me! There are orange trees everywhere so I make my juice form scratch! Uh huh get on my level people! 

Well my life has pretty much boiled down to having pride in orange juice so I guess the whole mission thing is really paying off haha! Love yall and hope you have a wonderful week!

Still Alive

So hey there my fellow peeps! It was quite an interesting week actually haha! I got little sick. So on Tuesday I started to have some stomache pains and a little bit of.... runniness in some areas if ya know what I mean! Wednesday I was dry heaving all day and more runniness, and a lot more pain in my stomache... Thursday I got to take a trip to the hospital or what I think was a hospital haha! I sat in the waiting room for three hours dry heaving, then they finally took me back and I had what I think was a doctor poke me in the stomache and then write me a perscription haha! The hospital was a lot like harry potter, it had just a tone of beds lined up in a rown and all the beds were solid rust with some nice puke stained blankets... mmmmm I know!
Friday I was in bed/bathroom all day so that was another good day of pain haha! Saturday I got to go to the hospital again!! woohooo! It was the same thing again expcept it was a few more pokes to the stomache and then they sent me off with another perscription!
Sunday I made it to sacrament meeting and then I dont really remember much but I was in my bed sunday night and I felt a lot better!

Soooo that was my week haha! Hope yall enjoy reading about me haha!

Hey Y'all

Hey yall!

So I had a pretty eventfull week! Ill start by telling you about the awesome family we found!

So We were just walking down the road and It started to down poor rain and right then my companion said we were going the wrong way and went to turn around. I called him stupid and went and stood under this little pavilian thingy in front of a house. So we stood under there for a couple minutes and then just descided to knock the door. Turns out it was a family of 7 people and they all have all their teeth! Durring the lesson I had a vision and I just pictured them all in white baptismal clothes! The family was really excited about the lesson and seemed really into it! We went back a second time and the mom of the family had read 50 or so pages in the Book of Mormon! She said she prayed after if it was true, and that night she had a dream! In the dream she said she saw me and my companion and we were saving her and her family from a giant black pit! She also said that the next day after the dream she talked to her neighbor who she had never met for the two years they had lived there. She said that her neighbor started talking about her sister who was a member of the Church..... She told us that she took these as her signs from god that this is the true church! Its just tooooooo good to be true! We have our next lesson with them tonight! This family was a huge testimony builder for me!

My companion got transfered this morning so now I have a new comp. I dont know how to say or spell his name but It seems pretty cool. I officially am living with three people who dont speak english so this should be interesting haha!

We got to go to the temple in Curitiba and It was pretty awesome! It was crazy weird in Portuguese though haha! We took the whole branch on a bus for the whole day! 

Also I found a dead armadillo and got a picture with that haha! So now yall know that there are armadilos in Brasil! I would love to send pics but I keep getting the one computer that cant send pictures so maybe next week! 

Well I love ya all and hope to hear from ya!

Hey Guys

So not a whole lot from Brasil this week. just more spiders and some wild ginnie pig haha. This sisters in our branch had three baptisms so that was fun because it was a whole family and there was a lot of food! 

When your mom tells you to wear bug spray... wear the dang bug spray. I recieved this advice from my wonderful mother and did I listen? Nope! because im tough and dont need stuff like that! Hah! So I have a lot of bug bites now and they are a lot worse in Brasil haha! I had one for a few weeks that was the size of a marble on my arm. I had two on my finger that made my fing swell really big and I have them all over my body and belly. The only problem is that its not just one bug. Every bug down here wants to eat you so its kinda hard to prevent it haha!

We almost ran over the most athletic ginnie pig I have ever seen! It was like a Dwayn Johnson ginnie pig I swear! I always wondered how they survived and now I know! Its like a little ball of awesomeness that I wanna take home as a pet!

I also found out that they have a few snakes here. We went to this one members house and her cat was acting weird. She said that they have a big snake and they dont know who would win the cat or the snake haha! 

I also finally got some letters and my first package after 8 weeks so Im pretty pumped about that! I can only read the letters on P-day though so I havent read them yet.

Well yall not a whole lot this week but I love yall and hope ya know the churchy choo is true!
