That is really cool. Scott
Marshal is a good kid. I think i know why he went
the way he did. i feel bad for it but i know he will turn out fine sooner or
later. I say hi and look forward in seeing him again. i suggest that he
keeps wearing a smile and lift his head. best of times will come.
That is funny that john got called there. that is a way cool idea for the
christmas party. no one can think of stuff like that with it being so cool!
ill miss it. sad news....christmas is our p day and they are saying that we
dont get a phone call nor do we get to email on our p day even though it is
our p day. i think we are going to take it to the president here. it isnt
fair for us that everyone else gets to write their family that week. we
already gotten bad p days with all the stores closed due to holidays here.
you would like it here. they start christmas celebration early. i see santa
hats before thanksgiving. they dont have one here so it is understandable.

I hate looking at
pictures of myself. anyways thought you should know that i lost 10 pounds in
the frist two weeks here. dont worry im doing well. in fact im just getting
more fit. i run a mile each day when i can. sometimes more. it is becoming
easier. they gave me medication for my tendonidus. it flairs and doesnt feel
good but it is getting better. i just have to take the gross pills. im doing
fine. i have had a lot of hard days. im just barely getting closer to my
district. im so much different then them. but it is going fine. they told me
how much they think of me. I am still a leader even though im not district
leader. i help them and i have been helping the new elders. today im going to
be showing three new elders around são paulo. it should be good.
-----------------------------------------
Yes we got
thanksgiving. it isnt as good as home but it was good. christmas will be tough.
We arnt aloud to go clear out there. we can only go about two blocks away from
the CTM. nice portegues. i can understand it. i will do my best to be
successful. Im always worried to buy stuff because i feel like i have no money.
I dont have very much bills it seems. the money is cool looking here and i have
lots of pictures is just i cant send them or do anything about it because we
arnt aloud to upload or put it in the computer. nothing. i will as soon as
possible. i love you and mom i hope you know that. thank you for the support

i want you to know that i am truely humbled here. more than ever i feel my love for my family i left home. you guys are great. you have done so much for me and i can see it. i was blind and now i can see. i was empty and now i am full. the language is hard for me but i am through the gift of tonges learning it. im forgetting some english words. at times i am stressed. the second day here was my hardest.
Yeah things have been
coming. hard things, but i try my hardest and i have
an awesome instructor who truely cares for me. he is moving to the U.S. and
he will be living in provo. when i get back i would like to see him again.
i dont think that i could have handled this place without him since i am not
close with my district since they have laughed at me when i have said
personal things and they cut me off when i speak and talk about something
else. they are not nice but i do my best. i forget about it or try. but they
have betrayed my trust. he has helped me get over it because he is the only
one ill trust with any information now. i just cant wait to leave this
place. i enjoy your messages i really do. i hope to see more letters. thank
you. i have to go now since my time is almost up. the time is blinking like
a monster in the corner like hahahaha you only have a couple minutes left
and if you dont finish i will kick you off because im a big jerk like that
blah blah blah. i do see michael he is right across the hall from me. we
talk time to time. his whole district thinks im mad all the time. but im
just more serious here. im finally breaking out of my shell and becoming
more sarcastic. i am the most mature guy in my district. the sisters tell me
the appreciate it. i just dont do that stupid things the others do. at times
it is hard to feel the spirit with what they say. i will take a stand if i
must. i am trying to learn here not think of what i had. the Elders here
will grow up though. i got to go now. time is on a string. goodbye my family
i love you all. i think of you guys always. (still get after meghann for me)
goodbye.

It is a drag to go up the
steps at times. it is good though. but a drag.
make sure to say to meghann WHAT THE HECK!? for me. she hasnt said anything
to me. and everyone in my district wants to know who she is. if you could
pass that along that would be awesome.

i want you to know that i am truely humbled here. more than ever i feel my love for my family i left home. you guys are great. you have done so much for me and i can see it. i was blind and now i can see. i was empty and now i am full. the language is hard for me but i am through the gift of tonges learning it. im forgetting some english words. at times i am stressed. the second day here was my hardest.
i almost melt down then i remembered i had a letter in my blue folder. Mom, thank you. i would have lost it that day. at times i wish i could see you guys but i know that i can do that in two years. down here is so different but in a good way i guess. food isnt all that bad. i try my best and i have great teachers. my night instructor has helped me so much. last night he gave me his testimony because he knew i was having a hard time. he says i am too hard on myself. it is true. i honestly dont know what is my best. if i give my best i cant see it because i always feel like i can do better. i dont know why. but he told me this and i had peace that night. thank you for your loving support. you guys are amazing and i am so glad that i am sealed to my family forever. i couldnt do this without you guys. you guys should be getting some mail from me that has my first day on it. you can send me letters but dont send packages. those will be very expensive for me and you know i dont have that kind of money. my p days are on tuesdays here. You guys are my back bone and i love each one of you. i have a saying that i say to the guys here. it goes, e ta bom. amonha a vontade melhor.
which means it is okay. tomorrow will be better. sometimes i need to say that to myself. days are getting better here and i am doing great. i have an awesome companion his name is Elder Rex. Thanks for all you guys do. I wont forget.
