Year One, Letter Twenty One

well anyway. HELLO EVERYONE!!!

lots of news today.

first, favorite scripture: 2 nephi 33:6

second some very important imformation:::: for everyone!

ok so if you are going to send a package, always send to the mission home. the package morgan sent arrived but morgan, you sent it to the house in Morumbi, and i don´t live in Morumbi anymore. so it arrived a while ago, but i just barely met with the elders that live there today. so always send packages to the mission home.

if you are going to send a letter, you can send them directly to the house i am living at, but it has to be at the beginning of the transfer. for example, the third transfer started today. so you could send a letter today. but in 4 or 5 weeks, the transfer will be nearing a close, so you need to send it to the mission home. so ALWAYS ask me before you send a letter or package so that i know to expect it and i can tell you where to send it.

but i received the package from morgan, and grandma´s letter with the giftcard, but i didn´t receive the package or those gloves that you sent, mom. those are either still in transit or someone forgot to bring them with all the stuff that was coming to the missionaries in my zone. so i will let you know if those show up at next transfer.

but always let me know before you send letters to my house or packages in general. thank you :)

third!

elder vander was transferred. he was transferred to Londrina...he is assistant to president now. so my new companion is Elder Guerrette. He is from Brunswick, Maine...my first american comp in the field. and i am his first american comp in the field. he is senior comp, but i have to teach him all about our investigators, our references, and our area. which is huge. he is pretty cool. he got here this morning at 8:00 after 17 hours of bus rides. he has just a little more than one year...he passed the one year mark on december 27th. so far, we are pretty cool and he isn´t weird lol.

ummmmm so awesome story. we are baptizing two kids named Wesley this saturday. and maybe the two daughters and wife of Brother Acildes. but this girl in my ward just called me...like literally JUST NOW...and told me that Wesley´s mom, Sandra, wants to be baptized with him, the same day. this saturday!!! so that is awesome! the problem is that i don´t know if she has all the requirements (marriage, all the lessons, etc.) so i need to see. so right now, i am kinda having to be the senior companion because elder gurrette doesn´t know enough about the area. so that will be tough. but we will figure it out! PRAY PLEASE!!

um everything is going great. more or less. i am going to work on doing that thing to get rid of the bugs and i am still just...being a missionary! anyway. so i am going to try and teach elder guerrette about our area today. this should be...interesting.

i love you guys!!!

lol love you all

elder scott ghormley!
