Year One, Letter Forty Two

unfortunately this will be a short email.

BUT HI!!!!

favorite scripture: 1 Peter 4: 13 - 19 tight. i like it a lot.

alright everyone hi. i missed you all this past week. it seems like it
has been....6 days since the last time i wrote.

so this business with elder barros. yes, he actually has a fiancée. i
don´t know if he informed president, but yes, they are engaged. he
isn´t the only one that i know of that is engaged. it is weird. but
yeah i was getting way sick of him talking about her all the time, so
whenever he starts, i just tell him that i don´t need ot want to hear
about his fiancée. or i just start talking about our investigators or
what we are going to teach and i just cut him off. but yeah it was
getting annoying. i have never met anyone who talks as much as he
does. he also wants to learn english, but he doesn´t study in his
head. he studies by talking out loud and asking a million questions
while i am trying to study. yes, we have companionship inventory, so i
have already talked about that and set a few ground rules. he likes
me, and i like him, he just doesn´t understand that focusing on the
work doesn´t mean just while we are teaching lessons. but i will talk
to him about what you guys suggested.

we are still getting this area going. the chapel is 45 minutes away
from our area, so it is tough to get people to church without cars. no
one wants to do so much to visit a church and see what it is like just
for the first time. after baptism, it is different. they have a
testimony. but before, it is tough. we had 12 people lined up to go to
church, but a guy in our ward died, so everyone went to the funeral on
sunday because the family aren´t members, so the funeral was on sunday
and everyone member with a car was there and couldn´t help us. but we
are working. we have found some pretty great people with real desire,
we just need to get them to church because lots work or don´t have any
way to get there.

the world cup is nuts. the whole city shut down yesterday for the
brazil game. and then everyone was drunk after, so it was pointless to
work, but we worked anyway. tough luck for us. but whatev. such is
life.

i am not aware of a city camera, and we don´t work in centro. so it
would be tough. we have to take a bus to get to centro. but that is
way cool. i will see if i can find something out.

sounds like you guys are all doing wellllll. how was the PGA event?
and how are things going with the house?? and morgan....you are VERY
PREGNANT. lol i can´t believe that in 3 months you and stu will be
parents. that is so crazy. and those pictures definitely made me
jealous. i wanted to go to mexcio when i saw them. but whatevvv. i
will in a while. and everyone is telling me about the new harry potter
trailers and such. oh my jealous.

alright well i gotta run. i love you guys a ton. i hope you are all
well. til next week.

tchau!!
